    First trip to the yard

    My new used D 100 surprised me
    Aside from non ferrous base metals I had a 1000 pounds of ferrous
    even my first dodge 1500 One thousand pounds took it close to the bump stops , if needed the stops handled it and more
    but this truck was no effort - - first earnings = $134.00
    I'm here to make it official the slant 6 does deliver 23 MPG even with some idle time .
    My experience with a 318 idle time counted big time with fuel consumption
    They don't make em like they used too, I guess for some thats a good thing but for
    me what I have is officially the best scrap truck I ever had . Just like there is one love of your life
    this is the one truck of my life I am complete .
    I did an oil change today
    10W40 wall-mart oil $11
    wall-mart filter $2.97
    The truck then had that smooth feeling some motors get from fresh oil
    Ahhh Thanks !!

    Copper Head and CopperHeadAKA (same person)
    I am back to my skill set from the 80's Painting & all that follows it
    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less
