Might be time to shoot my truck.
Most of the time I consider myself to be a reasonable person. :p I have given my truck the best care... kept it clean and well maintained. I was not amused when the rear end had to be replaced...twic...

I'll assume the perception of complaining was tongue in cheek, with 300kmi on the truck.
You even got 300k out of the trans and almost 200 out of the engine?
I'd be singing its praises.
Mostly tongue in cheek.:B It has had it's moments as a pita, but overall it has been a great truck. I bought it as a pup with maybe 10 miles on it. Immediately upgraded the tires, sprayed the bed and put in the rubber bed liner. I always park it in the north 40 of a parking lot to avoid door dings. I've been fanatical about maintenance. That's why it's 300k miles (less on the newer engine). It's been in the desert, mountains, Florida broiler sun, northern below zero.
It has been a mostly satisfying relationship. A "girl" (65) and her truck. However, at 5AM as you are packing...a recalcitrant tailgate is not appreciated.
The original post was meant to be semi humorous. I absolutely do recognize that this truck has been a workhorse and it is appreciated.
That being said... all things wear out... so I may still shoot it. In another 50k miles...maybe. :B
