The thing about any used truck or car is that unless the previous owner had a perfectionist streak, it will need some tender loving care to put right. This week has had it's share of that. Also true is that each new vehicle has it's learning curve.
To date the truck has gotten a good cleaning and some new parts.
A replacement hood, wiper cowl, wiper blades, air filter, muffler, oil change, water temperature sender, oil pressure sender, thermostat, temperature sensor for the fuel control system and a spare tire.
So, for just under 1200 dollars a licensed, insured truck for Cris is taking shape. This weekend Cris will take his first driving lesson, pray for me. After our test drive he can get a little elbow grease time by putting in new plugs, plug wires, cap and rotor.
