Dropped the keys off to him today, so I will be waiting by my phone for him to call. I think he'll have problems replicating what I was experiencing. So I might have to drive it around one morning this week and then bring it to him when it's doing it. |

Talked to Vince from L&S today. Basically, he can't duplicate the problem. The only thing he can think it is is some "sleve" or "sock" on/in my gas tank. He said basically as I'm running, the vacuum pressure is building up. As it builds up, after a while it's constricting the sock/sleve thingy. But he won't know for sure until he can see it as it's acting up. Unfortunately, I can't drive it around to do it this week. So I'm trying to get off Monday and do it. Then, it's looking like it's Ebay time. |

So it is a "sock"? Is it independent of the gas tank? |

It's a strong thought. Then replacing it with an F-350. We shall see. I've been going back and forth about this for some time now. I have been trying my best to not be pessimistic about it. |

e-bay would be nice, but the truck overall is worth more than you'll ever get on e-bay, if you are very interested in selling, bring pics and flyers to red creek, thats more of your local optimal audience anyway, and someone may have a f350 they want to trade....

If I decide to get rid of it, I won't be looking to get what I have in it or what it's worth. But I won't be giving it away either. I'll probably throw it on Ebay, some papers and News On Wheels. If I can't get what I want, I won't sell it. But like I mentioned, I will wait and see. |
