Should i give up the goose?
I dont really know what to do. It seems like every week there is something else wrong with this truck. Now its starting to get old. Rt now it needs a transmission and tq converter, door lock sensor,heater blower motor, the ole recirculate door thing, and now this morning i was wondering where all the oil was coming from on the driveway and garage and notice the steering box is leaking too along with someting on the motor.My driveway and garage looks like i drive a 74 vw with all the oil everywhere. It sways pretty bad so i thinking it might be time for balljoint too. Does anybody what a steering box cost? It just seems to be a money pit. I'm wondering if it isnt time for me to dump this thing and move on. its got 70k miles and never pulled anything untill here in the last month or so. Its just all highway miles. Its gonna cost me some change to get rid of this thing and gonna cost me some to keep too. I guess i'm just on the fence.

I don't know what to tell you man, but with those 35's you might want to look at running a steering sector shaft stabilizer. There are a few brands out there, here is the one I bought:

It is a bit late now, but if you get a new steering box and keep the truck I’d consider one. I will protect the steering box and reduce the sway.
It is a tough call, if you try to sell it with issues you’ll have to let it go less that you’d like. If you fix the issues you’ll be out coin and you probably won’t be able to get out what you put in.
