This is a good running truck that I recently drove 1,100 miles round trip from SC to MD and back. No major issues that would prevent someone from daily driving it (I currently do).
Specs:
Reasons for the low price:
I also think that there's an issue with the vacuum system. The HVAC will only blow defrost if you have it in the "recirc" position and the brakes feel way harder than you'd expect.
The trans was rebuilt by my ASE certified brother and myself. It has a pretty strong "kick" when you shift it into drive, but otherwise shifts well. The check valve to the cooler has been removed so it has to idle in neutral before shifting to drive.
I use a switch to lock the torque convertor but will also include a potentiometer that is pre-wired to plug into the TPS.
Also have some extras to go with the truck:
I'll add more details and pictures as needed.
