[@RobertArmstrong-dc3sj]

100% agree with Dougo about drivers staying in the left lane making people pass them from the right lane

[@RickErwin-kt6ow]

Against the law in the state of Missouri.

[@lorier9356]

Florida also​@@RickErwin-kt6ow

[@brettlamont4965]

They get tickets in Indiana

[@TheGrapeape34]

They make those Dougo

[@JR-lb4ng]

It’s called “lane camping” in my state,Washington state it is illegal and you can be fined for doing it

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

After all the discussion about your wedding i expected to see the "official" wedding portrait at the end of the video. I am sure it would be worth a chuckle or two. And here you both are all these years later.

[@mnbednar8071]

Don’t buy it Dougo, your car shopping with Amy brings me great joy. 😂

[@dmorgan28]

Dougo sure is right about vehicles in that left lane. They need to pull to the right lane so vehicles can pass them. We really enjoyed you and Dougo remembering your wedding day.😊. That was a good looking truck! Cool video 👍❤️

[@stevehager5735]

Funny! Has the nicest wash bay I’ve ever seen, and probably could even get someone to wash the black truck for him. Just do it Dougo!!

[@daletrent1937]

I am really not sure why I absolutely Love these videos but I look forward to each one. Doug is a hoot. Amy you are a saint. Wonderful family. Thanks for sharing. I have a feeling that truck will be in the garage soon if it is not there already.

[@burtzorn4059]

Love you guys , TAKE CARE !!!!

[@bryanlloyd1099]

You guys are so fun to watch and looking forward to the next video hopefully with Dougo test driving another truck! 😂

[@djy0025]

Videos make us smile!

[@Dennis-bj9cj]

It's always fun cruising the car lot with Amy and dougo

[@gliderider7077]

Oh you’re 100% correct Dougo (on left lane camping)

[@druewilson1079]

That drive me crazy about people people don’t have respect for other people anymore especially on the highway

[@joelrust6647]

I love the interior color ~

[@erichuebner6550]

“Compromise”……is the term for a good marriage. We were married August 22, 1987. Still hanging in there….peaks and valleys through the years.

[@chrisgossman6512]

It was like Doug was reading from the dictionary the word compromise👍.

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for the video Amy and Dougo. Buy the Longhorn pickup. It is really a sharp one. You will be ok with the black. BUY that nice pickup !!!!!!! The discussions today were very interesting. You two always come up with the most interesting items to talk about. Really good subjects to talk about. Yeah !!!!! Dougo please buy that very nice Longhorn pickup. You will be vey happy with it I am sure. Keep your old pickup to use on the bad days. Sounds good Dougo. Yeah !!!!!!!!!! With my blessings to you both always !!!!!!!! The Iowa farm boy. Steve. PS. You will look sharp in that black pickup 🛻 !!!!!!!!!

[@amysblessings]

I agree. That Longhorn is sharp.

[@tomrogers323]

Right on all points!

[@davidkimmel5153]

You two have a Blessed Day Also

[@adambrothers9001]

Nice truck Dougo write the check!

[@amysblessings]

It is a nice truck, for sure.

[@CookinCasey]

Amy, I love the "relationship chat". Please keep the AWESOME videos coming.

[@davidjudge2913]

Enjoy your new truck Doug , there's a big buck waiting down the road for you to drive by.

[@timothymatson3318]

I should hope not

[@DebLarsen-j6e]

Hey Doug, You are correct. On a 4 lane highway, the left lane is the passing lane only. The right lane is the driving lane! 😊

[@Bigbear4224]

Hi Dougo and Amy! My advice when you have to buy another vehicle is dont settle for something, because you will regret that purchase later on. I know this, because i have done that mistake before lol. With how much a good used vehicle costs nowadays, you might as well be happy with the purchase. God bless you both!

[@jimtrewartha2594]

I remember 88 well for several reasons. I was 31 at the time. Our springs on the farm dried up, we had bought land a few years before that was infested with wooley cupgrass that we couldn't get under control at that time. No one even knew what it was at the time, but it did pretty well in the drought! It was taller than the corn, and I couldn't follow the rows to pick it. We didn't get enough hay for the winter for our beef cattle, and we baled the fodder for feed to get them through the winter! And my grandfather that I spent every day with, died in that summer also, in the hottest, dryest part of the year. Yes, I remember 88 very well, but not fondly for sure!

[@williammcculloch7717]

A day with Dougo ! I would like to say that myself one day.

[@ssboot5663]

Oh Dougo..... we all know its "YES DEAR" that kept us together. going on 41 years here!

[@sallydunbar1683]

How sweet of the ladies Mom to have saved your wedding memorabilia! Great memories of lives starting out as one. I remember the big hair of the 80's! 😂 Have a great time in Louisville!

[@andreaswelin7917]

In the next film we want to see your weddingfoto. Me and wife has been married for 24 years and it was the best day in my life. Bless you all

[@bossillini4674]

I religiously honor tire rotation at 7k miles. My pickup gets 45k miles from a set. My wife and I were married June 4th of 1988. It was hot that spring and cooled off that weekend here in central Illinois. And got hot again right afterwards.

[@amysblessings]

Nice that you had a reprieve for your wedding day!

[@ckscottckscott4128]

I agree with you Dugo I would love a digital display

[@samhanson5554]

Well, Amy and Dougo, I remember in 1988, it was dry up at New Leipzig, North Dakota (about 100 miles south west of Bismarck, North Dakota)! I was farming with my father-in-law at the time. We got married in October 1985. And the best marriage advice I give to husbands is this: “Yes Dear, You are absolutely correct”❤ 👍 “It soothes any conflict out of the picture!”👍😇 Sincerely, Sam Hanson 😅

[@derekgilbert2884]

Oh didn't know Chrysler Cordoba truck with a Corinthian Leather 😅😅😅😅😅😅 please Dougo tell Corinthian Leather wow real fine leather 😅😅😅😅😅 . Amy great video keep up good work thanks again for laugh 😅😅😅😅.

[@jimpolk]

Yeah, I rotate and REBALANCE my tires every 7K miles or so. It's free where I get my tires. Beautiful interior in that Longhorn truck. God bless y'all. Have fun.

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

👍👍👍

[@ross7684]

Loved the Longhorn and I am so tired of black or dark gray interiors, that leather brown looked luxurious! Weather is the one thing that we know we have in common so we start small talk off with that! Long marriages require compromise (negotiations), tolerance, and forgiveness and I agree with Amy that there is much more appreciation and happiness than disappointment in a good marriage. I rotate tires every oil change and constantly get at least 50,000 miles out of my 60,000 mile tires.

[@amysblessings]

👍🏼 Thanks!

[@AMJDG]

It will be 31 years for my Mrs. and me May 20, 2025. She's still a firecracker and I'm still having a blast. As for tire rotation, we do it on our vehicles at every oil change - roughly every two to three months depending on how far we drive in that period...

[@amysblessings]

Congrats

[@trucker85d47]

Hey Dougo get Amy a one ton six by six army truck and she won’t have to worry about the deer or anything that gets in her way 😂😂😂😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@amysblessings]

I totally forgot to add the wedding photo! 🙃🙃

[@2504499]

Love the videos, content, and wisdom discussed. 😀Thanks for making them! I noticed my employer building in the background as you passed through St. Cloud on 94.

[@jerryfish1303]

If you’re going slow in the left lane at least here in Michigan you can get a ticket. I was in law-enforcement and did it a few times.

[@swamprat69er]

Re tire rotation; I run snow tires all the way around in winter. When the tries get changed to summer tires the fronts from last summer go on the back. (they are marked on the inside wall) ALWAYS keeping the side the same. NEVER do left side tires go on the right. The winters when they go on will get rotated, too.

[@jerryfish1303]

I believe entire rotation I rotate mine every 6000 miles that’s every time I get an oil change. I think it makes a difference that’s my opinion.

[@rodkloster9608]

Nice truck

[@davidkimmel5153]

I agree about the tire rotation. No rotation Also I change the oil at 3000 mile.

[@iowamagicman]

Unless you need the diesel to pull, you may want to think about it longer

[@mikekenyon3322]

Yes, I do tire rotations

[@j.a.manzke]

Tell Dougo he could always have the black truck Rapped to any color he wants! You guys sure do look good in that truck! Be Blessed Guys!

[@guysonne423]

I’m with you Doug , they just don’t move over.

[@Gottaluvit00]

Yes, big sign on the back window that says.. move over ass$@%!😂

[@henkoosterhof5947]

Nope. How about ,,pommy/indian/australian go home,,?

[@deniseellenburg649]

Suspense.....

[@Richard-ur1pi]

I remember 1988 quite well in Manitoba there was a bad drought poor corn crop ,

[@coltsjason]

In South Carolina where i live you have to put sun shades in when we park outside

[@amysblessings]

Hot!

[@Timsmith-q3y]

Doug I agree with negation that’s a good way to look at it. That’s right blame it on Chet.

[@JohnShumate-hb4ri]

Your right once again!

[@smkhotshotsinc.1776]

You need to give it a good burn out, and take a layer off 😂

[@MichaelHolloway]

'being a diplomat' about things used to be the highest compliment

[@timjoens7687]

I had a Durango and experienced the same thing. I found a tire guy that listened to my issues and found a set of tires that were made for my car and they were great. No shimmy.

[@garrykoch9526]

I would pay to see Dougo sporting a perm again. To funny, I also sported perms back in the 80's. Funny we are doing another left/right thing again. Hot water is on the left. I grew up being taught you pass on the left.

[@robertscrabeck2675]

Go for it Dougo I want to see your hair permed!

[@jeffmcgrath2202]

OMG you Two In the summer of 88 I was doing HVAC work to the tune of Two systems a day 6 days a week. It was so hot and dry that we worked through the rain.

[@jeffreymcneil8480]

You’re right Doug, Keep right except to pass. Drives me crazy too.

[@mikigirl1000]

Dougo, I just saw an episode of On Patrol Live where a Arkansas deputy pulled over a lady that was driving 66 mph in the left lane where the speed limit was 75. No ticket but she got a verbal warning.

[@randybedker1584]

Check the lug nuts tightness. After rotation supposed to retorck within 50-100 miles because they have a tendency to loosen up and cause it to shake and shimmy.

[@SctyGrpPowers]

Many cars have directional tires and different sizes on the front than the back so rotation isn't possible.

[@joejoe01]

Rotate front to back only same side only is the new normal apparently. No cross rotation on modern tires. I had no idea until recently

[@2spotmooses]

Oh shes a pretty one Dougo!! Love my 2016 after a lifetime of fords!

[@yukon4545]

😂 1988, my yard got taken over with alfalfa! Neighbor came over and knocked it down with a stalk chopper! True story. South of Morris.

[@toddpass5873]

I agree with Doug

[@philipfleming3546]

Left lane to pass then get back in right lane, it's the law in many states.

[@IBTRAILRIDER]

no biggie Doug Brody will keep it shiny 🤪 nice truck 👍

[@andrewhalenza5773]

I can hear the tires on that too

[@chrishann5714]

I’ve been living the truck shopping dilemma with you! I see several I like but when it’s time to write a check I just keep looking

[@laurienowak4203]

I would love to see your wedding picture

[@thedonleroy]

I remember 1988. That was a bad one. I still remember combining wheat & the temp was 102 degrees & we had a pull type combine then & no air conditioning in the tractor. My Dad & I took turns running the combine so we could get a break from the heat. The Mustinka river dried up & my friend & his Dad were driving 3 wheelers up & down the river bed. A smaller lake in the area dried up completely also.

[@lstone.09]

Different seasons have a major effect on tires and road conditions. As you know I drove semi for 20 yrs. Being on the road that much you see everything. On vehicles, good luck on deciding what to buy. Back when I bought my last 2 trucks I just stuck with the same color. Now that I'm retired I quit driving new vehicles, now I only get out when I want not because I have to. Awesome video Amy. 🫶🫶🫶

[@steveneal2706]

Great video

[@CaptnJack2u]

lol,,,Doug o with a perm ,,,oh!!

[@jerryfish1303]

WOW. Nice

[@bobdubree4718]

Nice new Ride! , pass your old truck to Stone for winter Ride !

[@PhilipBerry-h4d]

My mom and dad used to to cruise the car dealerships after church when I was growing up also. (Window shopping)

[@Jon_Chapman]

Yep I know exactly how you feel about black trucks dougo . I drive one ! But your lucky that you have a wash bay at the shop cause I wash mine every week.

[@randykovalenko1236]

I rotate tires when the winter tires and wheels go on and off. Switch front to rear.

[@edwhite6250]

👍

[@aaronb4286]

Get it dougo!

[@rickt44]

1988? You guys are just young pups You mean compromising Doug And you are perfectly right Everything is throw away nowadays

[@691plow]

We rotate at 7500 with oil change seem to get pretty good life from the tires

[@SctyGrpPowers]

What kind of goodies are in the pots in the back??

[@amysblessings]

Empty! Forgot to unload them. Lol

[@scotts4125]

I'm in Florida. Down here a dark interior will burn you if it's been out in the sun for a bit. My wife wanted a Lexus RC-350 F Sport in red with a beige interior. There was only one in the country. Every other one had a black interior. I found it in NC after a not so smart Florida dealer sent me an offer with the Vin number I knew he didn't actually have. I Googled the Vin and found the NC dealer. I bought it over the phone. They didn't even want a deposit. I made them take though as I didn't want to lose it. We flew up there wheeled our luggage into the dealership and drove back to Florida. It was actually a fun experience. The NC dealer gave me a great deal on it too. $10,000 less than all the Florida dealers.

[@thomasbergeron285]

Just remember Dougo happy wife happy life.

[@RaymondRussell-q6o]

Always had good luck with Centramatic balancers on my semis, even on steers. No other weights.

[@richardhessert7862]

I don't rotate my tires or get alignments. 184000 miles on it since new. I just buy two tires at a time. 😁.

[@fredengelke4955]

In okla it's against the law to drive in the left lane, it don't keep people from doing it. I don't rotate tires the only thing I've found it does is wear out the lug nuts, when tire shops use wore out sockets

[@peterbenson3776]

Central NY is same, If you dont like the weather wait 5 minutes . Average 4” every day this year. If winter was a TV show it could be called That 70’s show.

[@danflynn1259]

Doug I think it is called compromise. Many lack that.

[@ceciliacicchinelli4797]

I use regular bottles of BBs in my tires. R 12:32 esults of that good over the years even in my Peterbilt. Below 20 inch, I use a half bottle in each tire. Mitchell and told me they wouldn't want my tires if they had BB's in them so I'm running bridgestone's

[@RandyHunt19]

Doug fill us in love the new truck, year, miles give us the low down please.. Brody will clean it for you he cleans everything else and black is beautiful clean. Also matches the 3500 dally!

[@donniehauge9288]

Tire rotation every oil change! May not help but cannot hurt

[@elizabethliska5377]

Amy i have read that the cheaper branded tires from Japan or China are very out of balance from new. It dies not matter how you try and balance them it does not work ever with weights on the edge if the rim it will still be off and shake and bounce the vehicle. Stick with the bigger brands and have less problems.

[@tallboy49]

If the steer tyres are scrubbing on your tractor trucks it will be because the rear suspension is out of alignment. I have seen a truck wear out a set of steer tyres in only 4 thousand miles because the rear end was out of alignment. Get it checked by a truck alignment expert.

[@bubbamuddigger6252]

Last time i had tires balanced with actual wheel weights, almost all of them flew off on the way home. Started running balancing beads and never looked back. I believe tire rotations of vehicles lighter than 4k pounds should be done every 5-6 oil changes and anything heavier should be every other oil change. Also having softer tires should be rotated fairly often as well. I have a 1 ton pick up and do it once a year in the spring. Current tires have 60k miles on them and have worn evenly since new.

[@dawnmcclanahan2162]

We try and rotate every 10,000 stops the issues like you are having. Its increased the life of our tires by 15%. We live on gravel also. Works for us.

[@mikeboeckerman2481]

Keep the old truck for the short trips to the farm and when the roads are a mess, that will help keep the newer more expensive one nice for a long time.
