Am I crazy?
I'm going to try it out, the truck will be used for side work and a commuter. I like the idea of having all my tools in the back with the cap but I don't like the glass (worried about getting my shit stolen). The Ferd has a bed toolbox with plumbing and HVAC material and the less expensive...- mjulezjr88

Oh I absolutely will post pictures. But yeah everything else you said is my plan. Keep an eye on the power steering, headlights are a piece of cake, mirrors ... I have a camper I pull about 5 times a year. I've done mirrors on my old 03 sierra, simple but most non OEM rattle like hell. Some good...- mjulezjr88

I got them down to $15,350 ...at least that will cover the cost of tires. If you ask me all the other stuff is minimal. I'll change the power steering pump and serpentine belt when I get it. The gentleman at Scotty's transmission/RPM Auto whom performed the PPI has known the original owner for...- mjulezjr88

@ORVietVet I did not try to reach out to the seller. However, I looked at a few I've found, did a ppi on one and didn't like it. Like I said before, didn't want to waste anyone's time but I found this one in Reno Nevada which I'll post. Price is good, mileage is good, has a detailed Carfax. I'm...- mjulezjr88

@99Sierra2500 yes I think so too. @ORVietVet I was only comparing my buddy's hours on his truck vs the one I was looking at. He is not selling his 1/2 ton- mjulezjr88

Been listed since March 25th 2025, there's only 2 shops in that town that do ppi and I know for sure the dealer knows them personally because it's in a tiny town. Makes me worry about for how long it's been listed because the good ones sell within a week or so. I'm 12 hours away drive time. The...- mjulezjr88

Am I crazy?
I haven't spoken to the dealer yet because it was close to closing time when I got the call from the ppi. The truck will be my my daily commuter to work 3-5 days of the week and also used for running service calls (my side hustle). I average 1,100 miles per month. So just for shits and giggles...- mjulezjr88

Am I crazy?
Steering column I'll bring to my friends house and do it on a weekend no biggie. Wheel bearing easy peasy, had to cut one out with a torch on my moms 2000 Tahoe with 303k miles and she was a rotted pile of shit. Third brake like, don't care because I'll be taking the topper off. Rust, I didn't...- mjulezjr88

Water pump was replaced when dealer got it. It's at Tim's Auto just outside of Rensselaer Indiana, he seems like a good 'ol country boy. I think next would be a ppi done in town. He sent me pictures underneath, lmk what you fellas think- mjulezjr88

It was in Idaho it's whole life until the end of 2024. I'm going to call the dealer later today and ask about it. There aren't many places that do pre purchase inspections in that area. Funny thing is, I'm originally from Rensselaer New York ....never heard another Rensselaer- mjulezjr88

Thank you so much for pointing that out. I've seen a few that have well over 60psi at idle. I would have never noticed unless you said something- mjulezjr88

I've been looking every day to the point where I can't tell if I've seen the same truck over and over. Unfortunately I won't have some cash in hand until I sell my truck but I've been approved for $18k from the bank. I don't feel very comfortable dealing with facebookers unless there's one near...- mjulezjr88
