Bought at 81K, needed new cylinder heads at 85K due to faulty radiator-replaced radiator as well as t-stat. Replacement radiator's transmission cooler went bad-replaced it. Installed 3rd radiator. Later, replacement T-stat stuck, truck overheated and once again fried the cylinder heads. Motor started knocking really bad recently. Not to mention a few other minor repairs. Still driveable, however has recently started bucking/surging randomly-pretty sure this is a fuel issue, but it only needs to get me through 2 more weeks before I get rid of it, so I'm not fixing it.
This truck would've been awesome if whoever had it in its prior 80K had taken care of it. I really like it, but seeing as it needs new heads/block, it's time for it to hit the road.
