i took pics tonight, but they all came out dark **** camera

 

nice truck congrat's it has the rails where you can get ahitch for it i believe the type is made by reese

 

Purty truck!

 

Sweet ride congrats

 

The dude says its lifted but i don't know and is it really a tan interior? Still a nice truck. Check the transmission fluid for color. It shouldn't be too dark. With the automatic trans I wouldn't buy the truck if it had a power box, too risky.

no its not lifted, i asked about it. what is a power box...now i am worried. the interior is like a tanish gray kinda color. but it is very clean inside.

 

Did the bed have a 5th wheel hitch in it? Have them give you the factory floor matts. Nice truck.

 

what do yall think i should do as far as steps go...im a short petite girl so i need all help i can get. would you do a step for each door nerf bars or what? also what about lights on top would you get a set of those? never thought i would get into trucks so much thanks for ruining me guys

 

Nerf bars look the best and, if you get the ones that run the full length of the cab, they work for both the front and back seat. I have the Westen chrome plated stainless bars on my truck and my wife loves them. They also give your truck a little parking lot protection from people opening their doors into the side of your truck.

 

Probably the lowest/best I've seen for the trucks have been the AMP power steps. They really drop down low for better ability to step up, but they are expensive. I would also make sure it comes with 2 keys and 2 Fobs.. A power box/programmer, etc is just something that plugs into your trucks computer which gives you more power. Most don't like buying used trucks with them because of the obvious abuse someone could have put on the truck with the additional power, of which, the transmission takes a beating and you can have some problems with.... it is a nice looking truck...

 

I was looking for that color when I bought mine, but I had to settle for black. I really like that gold/driftwood, whatever they call it. That is not a bad price fort the year/mileage. 20K miles is awesome.

Made 12/04. I think that one might have the plastic intercooler ends. You might want to get the newer/older all aluminum intercooler. Those plastic ends have been known to blow.

 

Cool! Another member of the dirt color truck club!

Nice truck aggiedieselgirl. It's tough deciding on a new truck, but now you can start dressing it up and enjoying it! Don't forget to share pictures when you do.

 

Nice looking truck... Looks kinda like mine. If you go to get a bed liner done, ask about getting the lower part done in it too, the same way that my truck has the silver, do it in line-x... I bet it would look sharp. That ain't a current pic, but you see the 2 tone...




Look at the exhaust manifold, see if it has been tapped. That would be evidence that there was a box on it. It looks like it was pretty stock, but I could almost make mine look stock if I wanted.

See the two silver rods coming out of my maifold just above where I'm pointing? Those are EGT probes. Look for them, or holes in the manifold.






Before you get floor mats for it, go get some vinal cloth, and unbolt the seats/4x4 shifter cover, the trim around the doors, and slide that stuff in there. You'll keep that carpet looking brand new...







Not a bad looking truck for the miles and the price. Ask what has to be done to switch the remainder of the factory waranty over.
