Thanks for all the great data regarding my new truck. Much appreciated... and with that I will end the Ford discussion! :-)

Hey jttexam thanks for following up, I've been meaning to reply but got overwhelmed with stuff that got dropped while I was trying to save the Cruiser. Well I'm sorry to report that I'm no longer a proud Hundy owner. :-( I had to let it go. I took your advice and contacted my insurance...
