So talk her into a BTS tranny and convert your truck over to auto. That would still be cheaper than selling your truck and buying something new. Tell her big is safe as you have all that steel between you anything hitting you along with the height will keep anything from coming down on top of you. Best way to keep her and your new baby when it does finally happen safe.

Lot easier said than done.

My wife doesn't like my truck either because I'm always working on it and costs so much to work on. In my defense, I'm usually "tinkering" with my truck. And yes, after 200k miles some things need tending to. I just told her that its paid for, I know what I got, they don't make them anymore, and I AINT SELLING IT

It has 18xxxx miles on it, getting close to 190, so it is starting to have some age related maintenance... such as the power steering pump is going out(how hard is that to fix? worth trying myself or should I have a shop do it?), and it needs new tires soon too :/

Power steering pump is a pretty simple swap, only special tool you will need is a pulley puller. Should be available at any parts store, and there not too expensive.

I know its good to have good relationships, but if she has her own ride why cant you have YOUR own? Anyway yeah thats amusing, tards at dealers are evil.

She now says to avoid more debt we shouldn't do anything with the truck...

, a new ecoboost would be great, but dang they aren't cheap... so let's hope that the truck holds up for a few years
