New Truck in the Dooryard

Over the past while I'd been having some trouble with my 93 so I parked her and plan to fix it up right down to the smallest little issue. I needed to take my time and do it right and this turned out to be the best way possible. With that in mind I also found a new truck I just couldn't pass up. She's a 98, reg cab, 12V, 5 speed, 4x4, Dana 80's, 186 000kms(approximately 115 000miles) with all the critter features. It had recently been a plow truck but the front end was rebuilt and a new paint job was also arranged. It came from a good Chrysler dealer so it was well taken care of. There's no rust anywhere really. I paid $12 500 Canadian. The one thing that bugs me at the moment is sometimes it'll take to a severe belt squeel. I'm guessing it might be the alternator but I'm unsure. Overall it's a sweet truck.

I'll have pictures up later

Mike

Yup, AC works fine. It might not have been used much and maybe it'll come out of the squeel after awhile.
