I have seen this time after time I have a friend right now that is in this boat he texted me the other day telling me that the truck he thought he bought cheap has finally ate up his savings I And he doesn't know what to do because he has 100k in a 60k truck that still needs work and is not dependable I'am simply saying it's the little things that you find on the journey that end up eating your check book 500.00 here then 700 there then you end up fixing things right .. because just like [USER=117153]@wore out[/USER] said .. some butcher took the cost cutting short cut and other things became a victim of the short cut Speaking from somebody that has salvaged more than 1 or 2 trucks from the dead There's been some friendly warning about mouse damage ..
