Try liberty mutual...I have a spotty driving record n I'm only paying 70 a month for full coverage on 2 vehicles

That doesn't really surprise me. Have they gone the no fault route like Michigan also?

Maybe this is better for a new thread or a PM, since it doesn't involve what I did to my truck lol. Sorry to further derail this thread. PM me if you want to I would appreciate it kindly.

Cost me $150-160 for fillin up my old 91. Lasts like 500-600kms in city(almost 2 weeks of commuting) and 700-750kms on highway....

Insurance on it was $70 a month for $2M liability and some mid range coverage, forget exact details.

Newer truck my 07 F250 6.0, cost me $130-140 to fill and lasts 600-650kms in the city(more than two weeks commuting) and 750-800kms on highway...

Insurance full coverage and $2M liability is $180 a month....

Gas prices here in BC are about $4.389-4.985/USGal
Diesel prices are about $4.834-4.985/USGal

Insurance is Provincially operated here in BC... No competition what so ever, so insurance is stupidly expensive, my rates are with 40% 10 year safe driving.(max is 43%) discount. Coworker of mine who just got his license in October is paying with no discounts $296/month for full coverage and $2M liability...

Oh and to keep on topic, my old 91 is back in my hometown 1150 kms away and I drive my 07 exclusively now where I live.

Well today yesterday and the day before that I have been "in my spare time mind you I work nights every night" trying to get the t-case out of my 88 f150 its a bw 1356 and its been fighting me the whole way, does any one have any tricks in getting at the top 2 bolts attaching the tranny to the t-case? My chilton isn't helping. Oh every thing elts is unhooked and disconnected from the t-case, its just become a real head scratcher

Alright, got her inspected this morning and am good to go. Now I got to see how far I can go before I run out of gas money.

I live in California. That's horrible enough, then add on the insurance and taxes and fees and crap and fines and such its real fun.

My advice would be drop trnsmission and transfer case together. But then again mine is a manual and just unbolts and slides right out. You mitght jack up the transmission, disconnect from mount, remove cross member, lower transmission for easier access.
