    I seriously wonder how people afford them. A plain vanilla F-150 is around $40k, anything with extras starts heading north of $60k. Same with Dodge trucks. My father-in-law got a new Ram a year ago. He's got it all tricked out now of course. (Retired master mechanic.) The Mrs. informed me that the day he lets me drive it, I know I'm OK with him. So far that hasn't happened, but I don't feel too bad. His son hasn't got to yet either.

    That's why I do this, lol! New vehicles cost too much and hard to work on. 97 GMC Safari AWD with a 4.3 that knocks. 119k miles. Got the engine ripped out after a little cussing, and about 20 hours of thinking and pondering. Headed out shortly to tear it down and fix it. Slow at work right now, so that's why I'm doing this. And I need a new work vehicle, because the 98 VW TDI is literally on its last leg. That's my brother in law in the picture.

    Ooof that looks horrible how did the other half look? I'd be checking the end play of the oil pump housing. That thing looks really starved for oil....
