Vehicle Detail
I was given this truck by the original owner. It has under 100,000 miles on it. IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE, or the current engine needs to be rebuilt. Original owner accidentally put "KW Block Seal"(GOOGLE IT) into engine oil to stop oil leaking from front crank seal. "KW Block Seal" is a radiator treatment with tiny sand-like particles in it. The "KW Block Seal" destroyed the bearings and probably lots of other internal engine parts. The engine will start and idle, but is NOT DRIVEABLE, it will probably throw a piston or otherwise explode if you try to drive it away. I was given the truck with the hopes of replacing the engine, but I don't have the time or money. Aside from the engine, the truck is in good shape for being 23 years old. The body has some rust, the frame is very solid, all the power windows work, ac works. TRUCK MUST BE TOWED AWAY, IT WILL NOT DRIVE. I don't have the original title, it was stolen from the original owner, I do have a bill of sale and registration. Also listed locally, I reserve the right to end auction early if purchased locally. Email me if you have questions or want additional photos.
