this truck today. If my mechanic gives it his blessing, I'm going for it.

1 owner 2004 Screw Lariat with 91k. I'm dreading the plugs, but my mechanic swears he can do them.

By the way, my name is Mark. I've been lurking for a while now doing my research. Just wanted to say that I think this is the best forum out there for any vehicle I've ever come across. Awesome info here!!! Looking forward to being a part of it.

Any advice or tips for a "new" owner will be much appreciated,




-Mark

Thanks. I'm not getting my hopes up until after Monday, but from what I saw I think it'll be a go. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Well it's a done deal! My mechanic gave it his blessing. Found two minor issues that needed fixing. The rear differential has a slight leak and needs a bearing. Other than that, he told me it was a solid truck. Dealer has agreed to fix anything my mechanic found, so we're good to go.



Looks like I'll be picking it up Wednesday night (hopefully!)
