Newer truck

admin

I got this old wreck.  Main thing that is wrong with it is it smokes cold and uses oil.  It helps to heat the block. The thing is old and a Renault engine, I missed a cheap shot at a newer engine.  Its really so old I should be looking at a replacemnent  and more common, not all metric and bastard.  It all works, I keep it painted, needs a bed fix but looks presentable and can pass an inspection but really got to come to some terms I got my use out of it. I could put the crane on another truck.  Its not bbad to drive and can pass out in rural area but operating it with the crane is stinky.   I am slowly talking myself in to a better truck.www.urkafarms.com

Reply:Has the used vehicle shortage hit the commercial work truck market as well? I paid $12,000 for my 2002 Powerstroke in 2009 now I see comparable ones going for 20K and up and they are selling! Some are going for really crazy prices like over 30K! If I didn't like mine so much I could make a good profit, but I need a truck and it's such a good one why sell it? Even my VW TDI has appreciated! My granddaughter bought a new Rav 4 and drove it for a few years and sold it recently for what she paid for it!

At that use its ok but its just too stinky to work around and really to drive in a city. Spose the engine could be changed but I am not real up on all the fits.www.urkafarms.com
