Ok, so here's the scoop.. I listed this truck before.. someone used the buy it now option, but they were not a registered member of ebay (not sure how that works), so ebay ended the transaction... I relisted it for a day, but my wife talked me into keeping and fixing it.. the plan was to keep it as a backup vehicle in case something goes wrong with her car or mine... I replaced the radiator, but found the problem to be the water pump. I began to replace it, but found that the water pump is located on the front side of the engine, behind the fan and timing belt. I do not have the tools, time, expertise to fix this... someone who has a garage or the right tools can easily drop the fan and belt to put the pump in it... I have the new radiator in it already, a new battery (brand new... i bought it when i bought the radiator because the old batter was from 2004), and a water pump. The water pump comes with the truck The Good: My wife has driven this truck for 2 years every day. We have replaced the brakes and rotors, the driver's side mirror.. it has never broken down on us until this problem came up. These motors run forever... the parts for them are cheap... water pump was $50... I bought the new radiator on ebay, brand new, for $150 which is average for a new radiator... next to no rust... The Bad: It has dents on the hood, driver's side rear door, and rear bumper... it has some scratches in the paint, so it's not showroom quality... interior needs a good cleaning... the glove box needs a new handle... the driver's side window needs repair, you can hear the motor running, but something is loose, so the glass doesn't move (a/c works really well, so it's really not an issue, so i never fixed it)... burns a little oil... maybe half a quart in a week or 2... engine ticks, so if you're gonna keep it longer than a year or two, you'll have to have the top end looked at.. if you rebuild the top end (probably about $400 to $500), i have no doubts that this truck would run another 200,000 miles, these trucks are solid... Bottom Line: If you're looking for a good ride to and from work, this is your truck... If you're looking for a a new truck for $600, keep looking... let me know where you find one, i'd like to have one too... this is a pickup only auction.. please do not ask for shipping.. the truck will need to be towed/pulled/trailered.. Thanks for looking, and God bless..
