Ha! I am sure I have no idea what you are talking about!!dun":3ha197ei said:At least you don;t have to physically short a wire nad make it arc to get the heater running. At least MOST people don;t have to.

Should have been no big deal.......until I realize I was now locked INSIDE my truck cause I couldn't turn it on and roll the windows down to open the door. What an idiot asking some woman walking by to open my door for me!

No inside door handles, power windows that don;t work and a heater that you have to hotwire, sounds like a "blonde truck"
Thank you cpinz ~ ignore dun today. Someone shut his tail in the door I am thinking :roll: .cfpinz":9eq74tr0 said:Pretty cool truck if you ask me. I'm beginning to think angie is the sister I never had...

Here's one for you: Had a friend move a car for me on his rollback this evening, it smokes a bit and has some major issues. It uses a bit of oil, doesn't have a dipstick that reads right so he drives it til it starts knocking and adds 2 quarts. Uses a quart every 50 miles or so.
