Re: Sons First Ride/My First Post
no he copied and pasted the craiglist ad
nothing really to look out for, the 3.0 motors are strong and last forever
just keep up on the suggested maintainance and you should be fine

Re: Sons First Ride/My First Post
Nice truck. Only thing I would watch out for is the Fabtech spindles. Some people have had bad experiences with them breaking.

Re: Sons First Ride/My First Post
okay i was saying if he actually needed to look out for anything specifically like engine issues... in which case a 3.0 is a strong (and when i said strong i meant dependable) motor
sheesh
if you are LOOKING for things to do it then of course drop a 4.0 in it and change out the gearing
