    Truck is in the shop, list of problems. Not sure if I should sell her and buy something else or dump the money. 216k miles, 2wd.

    Both front bearings need replacement, Rear axle is leaking differential fluid, Transmission shifter & cable needs replacement, Value covers leak and need to Replace rear brakes.

    Total to repair: $2400.0

    Need some advice ASAP on whether I should fix this thing for the money or sell it for low and get something else. Help!!!!!! Bought it for $1500 2 years ago.

    Thank you!!!

    You’re not loosing anything if you fix it having only paid $1500 in the first place.

    Hey guys! Going to be getting the parts and doing it myself, however. I was told the catalytic converter is clogged. Now I'm hearing this thing about deleting it but how would I do that with the O2 Sensors? Cheers!

    theres a mod where you put a resistor and capacitor between 2 wires and that will send the ecu the correct reading regardless what it is
