I bought this truck from a friend a while ago. It was his daily driver. He commuted to Ohio and back every week, therefore the high mileage. The last time he drove it, the engine light came on and the oil pressure dropped. He immediately pulled over and had it towed to his mechanic. The mechanic checked it out and seems to think it needs an oil pump. Without tearing into the motor, it's hard to diagnose I guess. He didn't want to invest any money into it because he had recently bought a car to commute with. So I bought the truck with the intention of fixing or replacing the motor. Since I've had the truck at my house, I haven't been able to repeat the problem! I haven't taken the truck on the road because I didn't put plates on it, but I drive it around the yard and no issues! It sounds/runs good. Could use manifold gaskets, but even that quiets down after about 15 seconds. The 4 wheel drive works good. Air Conditioning blows cold. Trans shifts good. Clean leather interior. Premium stereo. Power options. Tow package. Tires have about 3,000 miles. Alternator and belts replaced last fall. Brakes and rotors new. Small rust bubbles on rear wheel wells. Front bumper has surface rust from stone chips.

Like I said, this was his daily driver until the engine issue. I've just decided to sell it and get a 2 wheel drive truck.

The engine issue may be something minor, and someone will get a great deal. Or the worst case scenario is that it needs a new engine, and therefore my low starting price with NO RESERVE! But I'm not a mechanic, so keep that in mind. The truck is available evenings for anyone to come check it out. It runs and drives but I'm not letting anyone take it on the road. No plates, insurance or inspection. Plus, it runs good now, but at high speeds nobody knows. At least now I can move it around! So please respect that. I would urge the winning bidder to have it towed rather than drive it home.

To arrange a time to see it, or any questions you may have, please email me.

Thanks, and good luck bidding.

I've had questions about the truck that I will answer for everyone;

* YES, the toolboxes will be sold with the truck. And I have multiple keys for the boxes, plus many spares.

* There is no frame damage on the truck.

* The truck was undercoated when it was purchased new, and in very good shape underneath. Only minimal surface rust, NO structural damage whatsoever.

* The truck has idled in my driveway 5-10 minutes, and I've driven around the yard. Like I said, it runs great! But I haven't taken it on the road or run it at high idle. It revs up with no noises or issues, but I'm not gonna push it. At this point I can move it around and I don't want to make any further problems if there are any. That's up to the buyer. But I'll start and drive it for anyone to see. Like I said....bid as though the motor needs to be replaced. That way you won't be disappointed. But there may be no issues with it.

* The engine light came on for the previous owner, but it's not on now and I didn't have a diagnostic check done since I've had it.

* The oil has about 2000 miles on it, and it's clean. No metal filings.
