It's official, I'm a 3rd genner!

The Mrs. and I took a trip to PA tonight. About 2 weeks ago now I took a loan out on a truck that I found about 2.5 hours away. Fast forward to 3 PM today, the papers finally came. We took a little trip on over to go test drive the truck, look it over, and close the deal.

We had some issues with the bank, but the deal will be final when the bank opens in the A.M. and we'll be driving back out again tomorrow morning to pick the truck up since we couldn't close on it tonight.

A few things will be changing, but overall this is a GORGEOUS truck. It has a TON of things on it (LEER cap, banks intercooler, banks intake elbow, banks intake, banks dual exhaust, juice/attitde, 20" XD wheels and 33" open country m/t tires , dvd player for the rear seat, pioneer cd player and speakers).

The truck ran and handled real good. Wasn't too fond of the tires, but the wheels and tires will be going.

Whatcha guys think? Does anyone know who owned this truck? It has GOTTA be someone from these forums. It was traded in at a Frd dealer ship.

Shawn

Probably five minutes away from you. It's in Harborcreek, PA. We got off at exit 45 on I-90, and went west for about 6-7 miles.

Maybe you know the previous owner?

Thanks, it looks really good in person.

It's got one scuff down the side of the bed that I can easily rub out, and a few dimples in the tailgate I can get repaired by a friend. Other than that, it's in pretty good shape. One fog is cracked, it's got a revtek lift for the front, rancho shocks, and I'm forgetting even more still...

Yep, that's around still Was gonna sell it, but I gave it to my father instead. He was talking this morning about bigger injectors and a built transmission so he doesn't have to drive his 6 spd dually around town anymore.

We're a sick family, ya know....

Megacabdad,

Hope you don't mine me bugging ya in a few weeks. I'll be putting my Western MVP on, and the TIPM is probably gonna be my biggest challenge. Been doing some reading and saw you had some issues as well as a few others.

Hope ya don't mind me picking your brain!

I think the truck was traded in at Bradford, PA. They sold it to the used-car dealer that I'm buying it from. The used car dealer is on US-20, also known as Buffalo Road.

I'll be back in town around noon tomorrow hopefully. Gotta call the dealer when they open at nine to make sure the papers are FINALLY squared away, and then head on out.

Wouldn't mind meeting up actually, and having you take a look over it and see if I'm missing anything or need to be worried about anything/fix anything.
