    OBVIOUSLY didn't even pretrip the truck ,what did you expect? , Well he was likely blinded by the fact it was a PETE and daydreaming of what it was going to be like owning it:biggrin_2552:

    See it alot they look at the CHROME , STAINLESS , STEREO and cannot stop :biggrin_2551: on what they are going to do to a truck , but fail to really look it over then :biggrin_2553: when something happens.

    O.k.we are done having fun with you by our comments. but you have to seriously tell yourself. this is a learning lesson for you. due diligence on your part was lacking. we hope this truck works out for you. you have a lot of minor, inexpensive repairs. that can be done by a novice mechanic. looking at the price on new & a lot of used truck, $5000 is not much for a running truck. don't take offense at the comments. we are friendly here, but brutally honest too. best of luck to you. :biggrin_25525:

    Really , where did I mention that the 1 he bought was dolled up or mention PETE in "See it alot they look at the CHROME , STAINLESS , STEREO and cannot stop :biggrin_2551: on what they are going to do to a truck , but fail to really look it over then :biggrin_2553: when something happens"

    With the gear ratio you gave us, the tranny is an overdrive, you just don't know the difference between the two. Furthermore, if all those needed repairs made it past your eye on the lot, you probably don't need a truck like this. I would liken it to someone who has no horsemanship skills going out and buying some rank wild unbroke horse, just because he wants to, and that was the one he could afford.
     
    SHC, haulhand and DrtyDiesel Thank this.

    I agree, if you failed to notice half of the things you listed then you do not need ot be owning a truck. How could you not notice the 2 cracked windshileds on that LONG drive back to PA?? :biggrin_2554:
