The only thing that i care about is the oil drip, i'll have to check that out to see what it is for sure, and i'm hoping to be able to get the price down maybe close to 8k, but it seems like a good truck, what are ur thoughts guys? Oh, and the one pic is my quick paint edit to get rid of the side steps and rack.

I can't answer many of your questions. I bought the truck a month or so ago from a guy in Puyallip. He was selling it on behalf of his father in law, who had just had a stroke, and couldn't drive anymore.

I thought that I would use it for hauling horse stuff for my wife, but after thinking about it have decided that it makes more sense for me just to use the equipment that I have otherwise and not take on more insurance payments and garage space. I haven't advertised it yet.

Because of this background I don't know much about its history. I did run a CarFAX on it before I bought it, and it doesn't show any wrecks and that the mileage is probably right. It has spent its life in Oregon and Washington.

Presumably, the father-in-law spent about $2,500 on the Banks upgrades within the last year. It seems to have good power. It has some gauges on the window post -- the turbo boost meter and exhaust temperature gauges seem to work, I don't think the transmission temperature gauge is hooked up.

Defects in the truck include:

- the gear indicator is off a little, when you are in drive it says second, or something like that,
- there is an intermittent electrical connection somewhere. The instruments in the middle of the ceiling (outside temperature, compass and reading lights) and the right side outside power mirror work sometimes, then sometimes don't. Also, the fuel level gauge doesn't seem very accurate. My guess is that there is a loose ground wire under the dash somewhere, but I haven't looked.
- there is an oil drip under the motor sometimes, I think it may be the vent.
- There is a tear about 3" long in the drivers seat near the seam.
- The crossbar for the lumber rack is missing.

The VIN is 1B7MF36C1RS689857. I have a clear title.

I can't think of anything else that one could tinker with on it. Otherwise it is in nice shape. The body is very straight, nice original paint, nice chrome running boards and wheel covers. Front tires look almost new, rear ones are getting on, but still have some life in them. It drives well. Starts easy, shifts nice. Drives straight and true, but there is some play in the steering. I think that is normal for these trucks. It has the owners manual and I also bought a shop manual for it, which would be included. It has a fancy CD player with remote control that sounds good with the factory Infinity speakers.

As you can tell, I'm trying to be as honest as I can about it. Don't hesitate to ask more questions, I'll do the best I can.
