I am going to sit back and be a student here out thanks for the welcome I feel more comfortable with my decision of going over the road and hope I can use my skills as a diesel mechanic to keep my wheels turning. Thanks everyone I will keep you all informed on my journey.

I am resigned to keeping it now. I doubt that anyone would have all the cash to pay outright but from what I have been told and have read keeping it may not be so bad and I have a couple options based on what you guys have all said that make me feel cofident in going forward with it.
