Ok. Thanks guys!!!

I'm still waiting to go back up to Poughkeepsie. I may be able to make it on Thursday. Anybody have any suggestions for me based on the photos, as to whether i should try to get back my $, or whetherit looks treatable? Or even where else i can make a complaint if they wont take the truck back?

Nope. Like I said, no can do. I live in NYC. There is NO possible way to do that here unless you own a house with a huge yard or driveway. Swapping internals is more trouble than its worth. I wouldn't spend $4k on a another truck to do that. Im gonna take it back up to poughkeepsie. The dealer...

Sorry guys... Been SUPER busy lately. Taking every bit of work I can get. This new truck destroyed my finances... No pics yet. But I'll post some before we end THIS thread, and start a NEW one. Because this truck definitely has a few issues. I'm really scared it was flooded, and some how that...

I bought another truck today! About 3k more miles than mine, but fully loaded. Engine sounds GREAT. But it does need some work. New fan clutch, digital gas level says low fuel, even though i filled it up. Guage is also saying E. Quite a bit of rust. Not rotted chasis rust (at least, not to my...

Thanks fellas! I checked it out. Engine seemed ok, but too much rust for me. And too much body work necessary. Lots of small nicks and scratches ALL OVER the truck. Cracked front bumper. Etc. Im going up to CT Tuesday to check out a few. If i dont find anything, im just going to bite the bullet...

Im going to see the truck today. What should i be looking/listening for so that i dont purchase a problem?

Cool. Thanks guys. I'll aim for the V8 then.

The reason i ask is because i see a 2006 V8 LT with 157,000 miles on it (mine has about 155,000) for $4500. Going to go see it tomorrow. I remember earlier in this thread, someone said that the V8 is superior to the i6 in pretty much every way. But I was wondering if that also included the...

Question...If i have the choice of a new TB EXT, should i get another i6 or a V8?

YESSIRRR!!! I thought the truck was stolen too. The guy wanted me to bring him the $ on the street. I told him we doing EVERYTHING thru DMV. No exceptions. Turns out it was legit. AND he had to pay the bank $2k to sell it to me for $3k! He made $1k on the deal...

Not yet. Didnt make any moves yet. My time is short at the moment. Super busy with work. Bittersweet situation. Need my vehicle, but ALSO need this $$$. I should have some time in about a week or so...

Lol!! I live in NYC Mooseman. A deal is always around the corner. Most times you just got to know where, and be willing, to look. Remember...I payed $3000 for this vehicle in 2010...

Just a quick update. I got the price for the engine and labor down to $1000. Still working on a better deal though...:biggrin:

I hear you guys, but i NEVER pay those kind of prices. I just got in contact with a mechanic that did an engine swap for me many years ago for $600. For EVERYTHING. I'm waiting for him to get back to me now. If i dont like that price either, i'm going to find my street mechanic tomorrow and see...
