Save $$

Save money left for gas to drive it, and any possible future repairs. Being an 01. How many miles are on it?

 

[Nortex]

Its got 100k, 1 owner in the family. Im not worried about repairs as I paid cash for this truck coming from a 550 pr month note lol

Then expect to

Have front, and rear blower fans go out. Not very expensive, and easy to DIY


Front heater core replaced. total dash tear out to do it


Front hubs replaced. Easy DIY


Rear wiper motor. Pain but DIYable



Find out whats been done to it in the past. These are items that tend to go out around miles you have on it. Obviously if they are not broke do not fix until needed.


Some people do experience tranny issues also.

Gordy sounds awfully sensible....I still say go for the tune

+1 on the tune

If money is no object. Just letting someone with a Hoe know whats down the road at times. Being an owner for all of a week. It would suck to do all the mods, and a major issue prevents driving because no funds left to repair like a tranny. Or having a tune done, and no money to fix the heat or air.

I like the way you think. Thats the reason a tune scares me! the trans going out wioth more power less tq managment. I know the compressor vibrates when the air is on and brakes need fixed

Do the brakes.
