I like your negotiating tactics when haggling over the price. You drove 4 hours, looked the truck over and said no not interested. The seller immediately caved in on the price, well done.

Truck had been sitting for a year and they were talked down from 4k to 2500. They just wanted it gone and didn't see the value in putting any time in it. When I show up for a car and it's trashed out, in my mind, the price starts at half (if the value is actually there) and I have to justify adding more to the car by inspecting mechanical, body, etc.

$2500 for a nearly 20 year old 4x4 crew cab work truck with those miles, in this condition (and in this economy) is pretty good. I would jump at that, even a bit over $5k probably. It's a starting point for a build. If you have the tools and skills (or patience to learn them in real-time) you can be all-in for less than double that, if you don't need serious engine or transmission work. I would presume new brakes, tires, suspension and some electrical gremlins from something like this... Nicely done. Hope I can find one about this range. Closest thing to me is a single cab 2008 4x4 with 215k miles for $8k

Damn! 2500$ for that truck that's a steal, IMO. I would've done everything you did except for the trans fluid change. In my experience, vehicles with that high mileage and no record of previous maintenance, almost all of the transmissions that I've done fluid changes have crapped out on me within weeks. The new fluid minus the old friction material is too hard on what's left. Hopefully, that's your case with you. Again, what a steal! Great job on everything!

As a 28yr old dude who only feels comfortable changing oil, piddly cosmetic things, and occasionally a thermostat or alternator, you've got me feeling really incompetent.

My only problem is that it leaks about 2qts oil every 5k miles. I noticed it will only leak/drip oil after I've driven it and gotten it warmed up good. I replaced the oil pan gasket, so I'm assuming it's the rear main seal? Anyways, again, thanks for this.

@@ComedyBros5 If you had the ability to wipe down the top to the bottom of the motor (better yet to steam clean).. then look around with a mirror for where the oil is leaking from. I have a 1995 Corvette that had the rear of the valve cover leaking, its a hard to get to place but it dripped down between the firewall and on to the transmission.

Awesome bro that was a steel. I boughtmy 04 2500 had for 7k in 2019 I’m about 30k in it today, but I’ve done everything to it but new transmission. It through a rod last month from injector flooding cylinder, so I put a new crate lq4 from dealer in it a few days ago ready to go another 25 years easily! Cheers on keeping the old real trucks alive.

If nobody’s said it, try using 2007.5 or 2008 when ordering parts or accessories, cause that year they had a split year with cat eyes and your model, that’s probably why the transmission pan gasket and tail gate trim piece wasn’t correct. Great job on the work you did!

Just did something similar. My parents were about to scrap their trashed out Honda CR-V with 230k miles and a Christmas tree of lights on the dash. Told them I'd take it, fix it, and give em half when I sell it. New MAF sensor, new camshaft position sensor, new fluids, new windshield, a round of seafoam, and refitting a side panel that had been popped loose and it's running just fine. Just need to replace the VTC actuator and detail and it will be good to go. Very satisfying to get things running again.

Was in an accident so I do have to replace the airbag, but the transmission is new, engine rebuilt perfectly. Looked it over with my uncle for hours. Interior is fuckin POLISHED (minus the hole in the dashboard lol). Overall pretty damn happy
