RE: M.A.S. vs Mileage? Also loose steering?
Does your cousin live near Minnesota? I'll pay him 30 cases of Keystone to do mine.
Now I've noticed the blower motor making noise and some pulley under the hood is squeeking.
I might be better off just selling it and taking a few grand up the shorts.

Nashville, Indiana.
He'd probably hitchhike to MN, though, for 30 cases!
My 2001's got alot of small issues. I'm thinking the same thing, watch Craigslist for a nicer, better maintained Jimmy(the guy who had mine before me, didn't do SQUAT to it, it needed ALOT of TLC), and trade em. Hell, 2001s are down to about $3600 now. That's insanely cheap, IMO.

ORIGINAL: dBsound
Before, during, and after!
I won't let him start on something though, if I can tell he's had more than a couple.
Tomorrow, we're changing the last two ball joints, even though they seem fine, just trying to get rid of the ****ing popping sound in my front end.
The price we've agreed on: We'll go bowling afterwards....I'll pay for bowling and our beer, and send him home with a 30 pack of Keystone! Grand total will be like $35.

I really need some counsil here. I've got $7500 invested. My guess is another 2-3 grand to get this into tip-top shape. If a good-looking (which is the 1 thing this truck has going for it) 2 door might get $5000 or so on Craigslist, I couldcut-and -run with $2500 up the shorts. Would that be better than sinking more money into it? It has 118k on the clock.
If everything were working properly and it was reliable and got low-20's for mileage. I would probably be happy.

RE: M.A.S. vs Mileage? Also loose steering?
The final decision is yours, but in my opinion I wouldn't invest more money than the truck is worth. Just cut and run. I was debating the same thing but I ended up keepingit cause I didn't pay that much for her, but if the day came when it needed a major repair I would part ways with it (Sorry Jenna I hope you don't read this).
