Sorry about your luck. Not to make an example of you, but this is why people need to really do a good inspection of EVERYTHING before buying a vehicle, or if they aren't sure, have someone else look at it. Anyway, good luck with the situation. ...and not to bitch, but proper grammar and use of English makes things much easier to read and understand.

Not making excuses I made a mistake learn life lessons whatever I try to add grammar phone kicks to this layout spell check trying to correct it if I don't get rid of the truck I will rebuild they say it can't be done I'm stubborn in that way

just bought my 03 screw on craigslist but my is damn near close to immaculate (knocks on wood.) everyone that's looked at it says I made out like a bandit. I guess its just hit and miss because for the most part if I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any at all.
Sorry to hear that though.

Looks like the beginning of a frame off restoration, be sure to make a build thread. But yeah, I understand the phone grammar, mine does the same thing sometimes, some people just don't care or pay attention though. Just didn't want you to think im trying to be an a**hole.

I also got screwed. I bought my truck and changed the oil within the first few days. A week later it was making a horrible sound and I pulled over checked the fluid levels and I discovered that the oil was dry as a bone. It was too late engine was running extremely low compression on 5 cylinders
