How much to sell ‘07 Sport for only 79K miles

[Bluesky 07]

Wow I feel like you lucked out! Seems to be a common theme on these trucks, aka: "use it or lose it". Will definitely try to engage it routinely now. Thanks for the tips!

Actually, despite this seeming to be a little off topic from what OP was asking, it may be a decent thing to consider when selling or buying a 4th gen. I probably would've paid less had I known that this could happen to these trucks. On the test drive I just assumed I performed the 4LO engagement sequence incorrectly because I hadn't read up on the sticky actuator issues beforehand. If the truck has issues with 4wd engagement it could definitely reduce resale value!

Yes, apologies to [MENTION=61053]jerlane[/MENTION] for the sidebar but as you said, it's definitely a legitimate concern when valuing or shopping for a 4th Gen.

30k for an 04 is ridiculous. It is still an 04.

I appreciate everyone's input so far. I'll take a look underneath when I can to get a better idea of the "corrosion" situation. FWIW, we replaced the 4WD actuator about two years ago. It was one of the few maintenanecv issues we've had outside of normal wear and tear. I don't recall it being terribly expensive. Not like the timing chain we're looking at!

Why would a timing chain wear out that early?

That's the million dollar (or $2600) dollar question. It shouldn't happen. We have been getting the p0016 error code since the car had 59,000 miles or so and it has always driven perfectly. No rough idling or anything that seems out of sorts. We had it in the shop a few times to trouble shoot it and have had the cam shaft sensor replaced which didn't fix it. It seems like if the timing chain were really stretched or had skipped a tooth there would be some symptoms. My next step is to take it to the dealership to have them take a look.

You can tell if the timing chain is stretched simply by removing the inspection cover and looking at how far the tensioner is extended, very easy to do.

How much did you end up getting for it? Getting ready to list my '04 V8 limited. 173k miles. Thoughts on pricing? Thanks.
