[@2Pish]

It's so insightful to hear the words of a seasoned mechanic point out what's been replaced and point out the history of each individual item inside the engine bay and on the rest of the truck...

[@powerbeast5691]

I can tell this mechanic knows his business! I would love to be able to hire him one day.

Thank you for taking the time to do this

[@NiAlfie]

I learnt a lot, however, as I'm not mechanically inclined, there's a lot that didn't make sense to me. For example, pointing out that certain parts appear to be recently swapped out means nothing to me, if you don't explain if and why it is or is not a good thing. Point out that you want to look at xyz because of abc and so forth.

[@TruckYoo]

Thanks for the feedback! We do have to remind ourselves to slow down. Appreciate the reminder :)

So did u take a truck from a dealer ship to your own mechanic before purchasing? I wonder if most dealerships alway you to do that?

[@Sno3Bird]

Dealers should allow you to have someone as a thrid party. If they say no. That's a telltale sign that they're hiding something in the trucks they attempt to sell.

$25,000 SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT FOR THOSE MILES.

Excuse me with that mileage and all that work I would not give more than $ 15k. Otherwise I do not buy it because remember what we see is above and fast but its condition tells me that that truck was not given so much maintenance and it may have serious hidden damage and that I
