My '93 died so just bought an 08

[Schenkerguy]

Hey all! Just joined the forum..

I had a '93 XLT which I really liked, but was on Holiday and drove up a mountain road, 4000 feet up in 105 degree heat to view Mt St Helens.. This was apparently too much for the tranny and it gave up!

Had to make a quick decision and bought a 1 year old '08 from a Ford dealership to get home. Seems like a nice vehicle so far! I'm usually a "buy a 10 year old vehicle and drive it til it dies" kind of person, so this will be a new experience..

As I read it- I thought... Good thing there was a Ford dealer on top of that mountain, huh?

Congrats on your new ride!

I wish there was.. had to hitch a ride 45 miles down, get a tow truck and back up and down again.. Dealership was about 15 min down the highway..
