THE TRUCK PROBLEMS

What a sad sight seeing the Ford being pulled away from the house. It had been sitting in the same place for 2 months because the engine had gone out. The bad part is that we had just traded our white truck in and got this one thinking it was a great deal WHATEVER!!! We had only had the truck for 32 days when it went to cramp and the dealership and Ford wouldn't do anything there goes our extra money.
We had no choice but to order a engine for it this is a used but warrantied engine. There was no other choice but to get a new engine or just let the truck sit there while we were making a payment so the choice was to fix it.
Cody and his dad decided to do the work to keep the cost down. This day Cody had taken the whole front end off so they could get the old engine out and the new one in.
I wanted a picture of Cody working on it and with the engine out but I didn't get down there to do it. This little/big project took up all of his free time from the time he got off work until 9 or 10 at night for a week. There are still a few little thing left to do but for the most part it is done and running great. This is going to be our last truck for years and years at least its one we don't mind being stuck with.

Your blog is so cute as well as your kids! I can totally relate to car issues and paying payments for something just sitting there! Hopefully it turned okay for you!
