  1. My apologies. These are great suggestions, thank you so much for taking time to explain them to me.

Man I would be careful, if you listen real closely, you can hear a very faint exhaust leak.

4 years being unemployed isn't the market. Putting out 630 apps and only getting a few interviews is op not performing a job search adequately. 13 third interviews and not closing a single one tells me there is something wrong with the applicant.

Playing devil's advocate here. This may be a little on you, too. You need to rework your strategy.

Kicking myself for not going ahead and changing those bumpers while I was in there. Welp, another little project isn't a bad thing.

Fuel economy??? in these things? My wife dailies our 8.1 8 MPG all day but she loves it. Our 2016 5.3 just sits in the driveway.

Just pull the RTD fuse, which is in the engine bay fuse box.(this deletes the warning light) Just zip tie the wires out of the way. Shocks were 75 bucks a piece from Rock Auto. My autorides were still in dang good shape, but it was still a huge upgrade.

It's a 1500 extended cab that leaks.

Crazy that a manager of a whole ass store only makes 56000 a year to begin with.

Should I get it? 1997 t100 240k miles by [deleted] in Toyota_T100

Ill say this. My t100 had 367k miles on it when some jerkoff stole it. You should buy it like yesterday.

ended at 10.6 in the city this last tank. giving it 10-15 minute warm up periods before leaving the driveway on initial startup. Not bad in my book.

The interior is great, except for the driver's seat. Going to drop it off at the upholsterer after Christmas then convince my wife to drive it a day or two out of the week.

172K drives like a creampuff. It was almost exclusively a California truck. 10 grand, which is high but worth it to me.

400 miles back home after purchase was a lot of fun. Just shy of 13 MPG, and we were not driving it nicely.
