No where did I see pull your *** over immediately cuz you are about to burst into flames. Just saying

Maybe you and I have a difference of opinion of how serious "possibly causing a fire" is understood. To me, that translates to pull your *** over and turn the truck off and call a flatbed, but thats just me.

Unless you would like to rid yourself of the truck. If so you should drive it as hard as possible for as long as possible while light is flashing.

Hey Terry, I know you are local to me. So you go all the way to Alex to buy your truck? Sounds like it's worth it! I use Sterling, which is on the way there but not nearly as far up I-49. I'm looking at trading in next year, might have to give Hixson a look.
