disagree; the "dont think twice about it" attitude is what gets so many people in debt that they can't recover from. Not saying this would ever apply to the Larsons, but other readers might take this to heart. Personally, I just spent $6500 on repairs th my F350 diesel. Expensive yes, but didnt have to go into massive debt for a new one.

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Amy and Dougo. It was interesting and informative and enjoyable. Need to talk about trucks but first some info for Amy. Amy the discomfort you are experiencing is what I have been through. The neck situation and the nerve endings and bones supporting the neck. Been there done that. I have had two surgeries to help the condition and I would suggest no surgery. Left me with problems from the surgery itself. Try and get along with adjustments and things like that. Dystrophy is what mind turned into and you don’t want that. Just trying to pass Oñ information for you, not telling you what to do. Do take care of yourself. Dougo and the Dodge one ton pickup. How about doing a search on the web and see what shows up. The one you found for the farm is a nice one. Dodge dealer can do a search for you also. I agree with you Dougo, one tons are hard to come by. Keep looking, am sure you will find what works for you. Hang in there. Super video today. You both are super people and so enjoyable to visit with on the KZbin channel. Sincerely enjoy the time with you both!!!!!! Take care. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

I feel for you Amy. I have thyroid disease that attacks my connective tissue. I have double irregular scoliosis in my back, mod-severe osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease all my joints sound like sandpaper. I’m the same age as Doug, both born in 11-1968(Chet told us that years ago😂)I’ve gone through all the specialists through the years. I understand completely how you feel. I have hot pads on my back & neck so much I have a brown rectangle on my back. Like it cooked me a little.😂 I have one that wraps the neck down the back & ties in the front. That’s what brings me some relief. Some ppl prefer ice packs, heat relaxes the muscles for me. Something you might try.

[@amysblessings]

I’m sorry you suffer with pain too. I am 11/68, Doug is 8/68 😊 A warm sauna gives me temporary relief.

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

@@amysblessings so YOU & I have the same birth date? Well, either I misunderstood Chet or (we’ll just throw Chet under the bus)& he mixed his parent’s bday up. I love my hot pads but couldn’t handle a sauna. Another thyroid related issue, inability to handle heat or sun(I literally break out in hives from the sun)side effect of Synthroid. Add in what happens to women my age & heat spurs on an episode of feeling like I’m bursting into flames. I was diagnosed with this disease 10 years ago. Chronic pain can really wear you down if you let it. Hardest lesson I learned is knowing when to stop & rest. Plus, asking for help.

Amy that is exactly the same problem I have in my back and hips, I was told nearly ten yrs ago that my problem was inoperable so I'd have to put up with it, or take even stronger drugs (heroin) to control the pain. Needless to say I chose not to go that route, just barely tolerate the pain in my hips after sleeping 4/5 hrs then have to get up, move around a bit then go back to bed for rest of night. Every night. sorry to hear about your pain, as you are 15+ yrs younger than me. Mine was due to Rugby injuries as a teenager, too.

I always said I would never own a white vehicle. I bought a white truck 14 years ago because it had the drive train I wanted. It has grown on me and with a little Crome added I like it.

Also with Dodge/Ram going away from the HEMI (we all love) to the I-6 I believe these HEMI trucks will go up in price since they're not gonna be built any longer.

Awesome video Amy. I've had back issues most of my life. First surgery was in 1998. They relocated a nerve due to disk issues. Then in 2010 i had to have a disk replaced in my next. While they were in doing the disk they removed over 100 bone spurs, they also said that there were several they didn't remove. My lower back is a total mess, I've had several disk on my lower back thats totally crushed and the vertebra have fused together. It's not often they offer surgery on the lower back. As to how they go in to remove the bone spurs. They go in through the front of your neck. They usually make a cut about 2" long. Then they shove your throat to the side so they can get the needed equipment in to remove the bone spurs. None of it is fun. The crazy thing is I'm about the same age as you and DougO. Take care and thanks for the share. BTW DougO', just trade the truck and get it over with. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@JillKevinKoepsel]

Amy I am an advance practice nurse for the last 37 years. My specialty is orthopedics. The symptoms you ate describing sound like cervical stenosis. Did you have an MRI done? Depending on how bad the arthritis and stenosis is it might be time to look at surgery before the nerves become irreparably damaged. Going to a chiropractor is a good. But also having a surgeon physical therapy added to your team would help maintain or possibly reduce symptoms. I too have cervical issues from being in a roll over accident twice in my life. Both times hit by drunk drivers. Responding to a you tube video is something that I don't normally do. I'm from Wisconsin just trying to help a fellow Midwesterner out. Good luck on your journey

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

A salesman at a Ford dealer was showing a farmer new trucks. The farmer asked why one truck cost more than the other one parked next to it. The salesman told him the more expensive one was a 3/4 ton and could haul more. The farmer looked at one truck then the other and told the salesman, "The box doesn't look and bigger to me". That's why they only have 1/2 ton pickups at rural dealers.
