well we had a family member just move up from Chicago last week. she had to have a truck as soon as possible and i've been looking for months but trucks go fast up here. a very clean looking 2002 EB 5.4 4x4 with 107k miles on it they were asking $6400.
we viewed and test drove the truck last night and i found some minor things
1 missing spare/jack
2 cruise control deactivation switch leaking but had recall done
3 windshield washer did not work(horrible time of year for that)
4 one brake light bulb out
5 left wheel seal slightly leaking
6 heated seats dont work
othwerwise it drives perfect, runs great, all electronics work..ect.
truck is fully loaded with the exception of back up sensors and air ride(thank god)
so today i did the following
6 qts of synthetic oil and new filter
new air filter
cleaned the MAF and IAC
replaced the cruise control switch
fixed the 2 separated rear window washer lines - works perfect now
added rubber floor mats front and rear
BTW we walked away spening $5,000 even and i put $71 in it today with oil and filters. i think we got a great deal considering what other expys here are going for with MUCH higher miles.
so heres the pics! excuse the dirtyness we are going through "break up" season here in alaska and you cant keep a car/truck clean. period.
her expy with mine
so on a side note, doing an oil change on a 97-98 is like a 5-10 mine process. whoever decided to get rid of the remote mount oil filter in the 99-ups and also the redesign of the oil pan to drain out the side. i would love to kill the idiot who came up with these ideas. i ended up with atleast 4 QTs of oil on my garage floor. ran out of floor dry so i have to make a lowes run tomorrow!
