SELLER’S NOTES

Transmission Problems:

1) Intermittent Cruise Control: Replacing the cruise control contact cam will resolve this issue. This problem does not occur unless you use the cruise control.

2) Edge Revolver CTS3 Tuner Upgrade: Warming the truck up till the engine temp gauge is moving toward warm allows normal shifting.

CARFAX Vehicle History Report Available.

Mechanical condition was top priority to ensure towing reliability, especially while transporting horses, and preventing rust.  Therefore, have not fixed cosmetic items like cracking plastic, droopy headliner, and oil-stained carpet from rust prevention oiling. One exception, to those who drive long distances, to make cruise control work well, the steering wheel contact cam needs replacement.  Rough roads cancel cruise control in present condition. The first 100k was driven by a snowbird on unsalted roads in warm climates. 

This truck runs best on the highway at 62 mph and gets the best economy.  This truck has been stock until late 2022.  On the first big trip, unloaded, just after the CTS3 tuner, S&B intake and MBRP exhaust were installed, I got 29 mpg!  On my way to Florida for winter.  Normally, I get 16 mpg Towing and 20 mpg Town.

Original Paint (Blue with White rockers) with following exceptions:

Passenger side bed dented by winter snow remover, replaced with new panel, and painted with new 4x4 sticker. This paint still looks great.

White Chip Guard added to rockers. Rust stains appearing around bolts where seal broke paint.

Roof. Repainted long after and by different business. Fading and chipped. EPA paint?

Selling in as is condition.  I have described the truck as best I can.  Please contact Seller for any questions or further details.
