This is a project that's mostly complete, but has some maintenance needed to get this to 100%. I'm including my personal progress and to-do list below that has every single issue or task that I know of.
I purchased the truck stock in 2016, and learned after the gauge cluster had been swapped to reflect lower mileage. Odometer reads 17x,xxx but guessing the true mileage is around 290k.
Here are all of the known issues:
- Head gasket is failing. Still runs and drives fine but heavy white smoke on startup. Unsure of head condition.
- ABS light is on
- Horn/speed control don't work (could be clock spring or severed wire in wheel)
- A/C not working. Compressor good but missing belt and tensioner pully belt is broken in place
- Leaking rear diff
- Exhaust leak at lower flange
I ultimately decided to sell this as is at a lower price so the buyer can have the confidence of their own repairs. I am happy to answer any questions or take pictures but please only serious buyers.
