 More from the seller:

Selling my truck. Bought a bigger boat and newer truck, begrudgingly this one has to go. 

Super cab

4 speed auto

5.0 v8

2wd

Solid frame, rust in body. Not horrible, not good. It’s a $900 truck, it’s not gonna be pretty.

When I bought it it ran like shit. I replaced the following and it runs good. No pinging, burning oil or leaks. Starts right up every time. Towed a 2,000 lb boat no problem. (I have said boat available, no title)

Fuel filter

Plugs

Cap

Rotor

Wires

Idle air control valve

Air cleaner

Headlights

Front brake pads

OBD1, still throwing codes 63,84. Throttle position sensor and exhaust gas recirculation valve. Both inexpensive parts. Causes a hesitation, especially when cold. Egr valve $50, TPS $20…
