My new pickup
Here is a picture from today, in my possession! I got insurance and put about 30 miles on it today. It's alot faster than I thought it would be. For sure faster than my old Mercedes diesel off the line. Keeps up with traffic great. I had tons of fun and driving it is already becoming second nature.

Re: My new pickup
Isn’t it great, being an adult and still playing with trucks. Nice toy!

Re: My new pickup
There is one extremely important MODIFICATION you need to immediately follow through on.
The owner's name on the title. |

Re: My new pickup
Yes new hoses & clamps, fan belt, waterpump & aluminum fan blade. flush radiator, refill with water/antifreeze. Just bend that 4 blade fan backwards and it will come right off without removing the radiator.

I guess my other question is can the stock fan be repaired? and would that be a better way to go?
