That trucks never left me stranded.

Truck was still about new, kid went to lunch and never made it back. That's the story I got. When I made it back to service, that was a little battle, I asked sort of loudly, who worked on the white f150?? Everyone looked at each other, I couldn't tell.

Yea, I made an *** out of myself, that's for sure.

There isnt a fail safe on my truck. Ran just fine for a 1/2 an hour or so till it seized up. I kept screwing around with it until it seized. I knew I was screwed no mater what. Engine wasn't worth pulling the pan and all. When I couldn't get pressure after changing the oil I threw a gallon of diesel in there. That didnt phase the stuff..
