I have owned this vehicle for 12 years (bought in 2001) and it has been a great truck. I was in the military when I bought it and purchased it from the original owner in Cherry Point, NC and it had 100K on it. I would drive it from NC to IL and up until this month would drive it from IL to Baltimore, numerous times. I had to replace the engine at 141K because of a ignorant mistake (ask if need to know more). For the last 6 years I have done all my own major repairs with assistance of my uncle. Last summer I had to replace the head gasket. I also dropped the transmission and replaced the clutch and rear main seal. I replaced the water pump. The major problem with currently is that when I was going to replace the fuel filter my thermostat failed on me as I was driving and because it usually runs hot (up to the top white line) before the thermostat kicks on and the temp drops I didnt think anything of it until it kept rising. I was able to stop and get antifreeze in it before the needle got into the red but I must not have been able to take care of it in time because now I have Antifreeze mixing with my oil. It has set for about a week and it is still getting antifreeze in the oil. If I wasnt in Baltimore and back home when this happened I would fix it and keep driving it because the rest of the truck is completely reliable and I never hesitated to take it out for a 13 hour drive. The 4 wheel drive works great. I replaced the exhaust a few months ago. I have replaced the front brake pads and rotars within a year. I am not really sure what else to give as far as a description goes so if you have any questions please ask. I am selling it "AS - IS", no returns or warranty. You will be responsible for coming to pickup the truck. You will need a trailer because even though it will start up and run, there is a problem with the engine and you will not be able to drive it very far.
