Well, we've added yet another truck to the stable, but this one is meant to be the official shop truck of Kris and I's upcoming business venture, Bandit Customs. But more on that later...First the basics and history

8-24-11 @ 166,814 Miles
1) Air Bag Light Diag - Code 37 - tech reseated passenger seat airbag connector
2) Had a rattling noise from the engine - tech replaced belt tensioner
3) Tech replaced Driver door latch and outside handle
4) Rear wiper inop - no work was done
5) tech replaced the drivebelt
6-8-13 @ 180,000 Miles
I charged the A/C system after the motor swap
We found this truck on craigslist for $950 dollars. It is Wedgewood Blue, dark graphite grey interior, and pretty much fully loaded (Air ride suspension and 4.10 gears as well!) The reason for the cheap price was because cylinder 5 had lost compression and the owner didnt want to deal with repairing it. Well, no problem, since Kris and I are getting better at SOHC motor repairs! I met the owner on a rainy evening (hence the eventual name) and bought it on the spot. Even drove it back home a few miles. But the first thing we had to do was get the motor running right. After a few tests and visual inspection of the truck (was origianlly a Michigan owned truck, so very rusty) it was determined that we replace the motor entirely with a salvage texas motor (no rust) and retime and reseal the new one. Which is what we did.
Enjoy!
