The Blue Trac was a trooper! Just about 250,000 miles without any major problems, and towed the Cobra all over the North East for the last 8 years. Only stranded me once when the alternator crapped out.

It had all the usual problems:
Radiator
Driver's Door Latch
Leaking Thermostat housing
Healthy diet of front end parts & tires
Upper console display


But in general was a great truck to have, always reliable, started in all weather, never really complained. I found a killer deal on a newer F150, and pulled the trigger, the dealer gave me $1500 trade. I was genuinely sorry to see it go, but I did need a stronger tow vehicle.

I do have a box full of thermostat housing parts, including the repaired one I have yet to use. If you remember, I ran a few threads on this, and the last repair & modifications worked perfectly, never a leak again. Anybody wan these parts? I'll send it off free as my way of thanking this forum for saving me plenty of $$$ fixing my ST.

Thank you to everyone on this forum, you have been great and extremely helpful!

All the best,

Dan

Sad to see it go but best of luck with the 150!
