Economics of plowing

[Karl F]

forgot to mention, if you do buy a truck, make sure it came with factory snow plow prep package, had a tech explain to me in detail the importance of that, as if the truck did not come with all that is in the prep package, suspension, drivetrain wise, etc. it will become an issue as soon as you overtask the truck.
I was truck shopping earlier this year..not impressed with ANY of the new ones, but you can build a decent one, if you choose wisely off the order sheet. Fortunately, I lucked out, and got a clean 10 year old truck with very low miles, that will do what I want it to, and the best part is, I didn't have to get another payment book..took me 3 months of looking though.

I have an 02 suburban Z71 that will be on the market soon. 158k and oil changed religiously. Shows like new. Good rubber too.
That being said, nothing is more true than the blood money part. Driveways are good,but if you are subbing for a town or state it can get personal.Read some of Fisherman Tim's posts from last winter for examples of an assache.

you guys make it sound like staying up for 36 hrs straight and drinking so much coffee that you're twitching isn't fun
