Exactly...

Student loans and/or mommy and daddy seem to be popular ways to fund the retarted idea of having a modded diesel when young.

or be the son of a farmer. LOL

I feel like the 1% granted I didnt go to school, rather opted to work full time for the past 6 years.

Guess I am in that 1% too cause I would say I'm doing a ok, BUT, I go to school LOL

I wasnt attempting to attack you in any way. Help is a great thing, I dont have a hard knock life or a hard up bringing by any means. All my stuff is my own and I am very greatful to of been able to support my hobbies on my own - this also has made me realize how much money I've "thrown away" at a young age...but I've done alright for myself so I will continue on. Enough about that, just simply pointing it out.

Honestly how you or I afford anything isnt anyone buisness, sorry if I offended.

I have recently came to this conclusion too. Actually calculating it and figuring out all the money I have pissed away makes me want to slap myself... At least it was on stuff that made me happy though...

My approach to feeding this addiction when I started was a STUPID one. Maxing out high limit credit cards.

I learned a good lesson from all that.

Learned that lesson, it BLOWS. Easy to get in a BIG hole but glad I'm finally on the right track.

Either way Phil good luck buddy. You will get it all figured out!

You should stop. You will be hating yourself in the not so distant future if that's what you are doing. Ask me how I know...

this is true... I think I have spent more on a credit card into mine than that thing is worth + the mods LOL. Luckily it's almost all paid for now. #sorryimnotsorry

My bad, just a ton of idiot teens/20 years olds making us all look bad, and a lot of ppl group us all together. And a lot of people see a younger person on the forums and starts w/ the

But yea, I agree, I'm "throwing away" quite a bit of money, but the way I look at it, it's better than throwing it away on drugs, booze and strippers lol!

Yea Zac, selling drugs would be great, I'd be done w/ my truck by now lol.

To replace the heater valve and degas bottle, how much coolant will be lost/do I need to drain?

I was thinking to unhook the hoses to the bottle, drain it into a bucket and swap them out. The heater valve hoses didn't seem to have too much coolant in them, so those shouldn't be too problematic right?

Keep on working man and slowly build up you're truck you're on the right path. I used to be in you're shoes back with I was in college. That's why it took me 7 years to finish school I also had a full time job it was definitely stressful. But I was lucky like you and had my parents help. They paid for all my college so I never had student loans like some of my friends. I only had to work for truck funds.
