    Good luck!

    Go over it with a fine tooth comb. Then have a mechanic go over it with a fine tooth comb, following that I would go over it with a fine tooth comb once more.

    That's OK...everything for a reason! I hope this one at Harrelson shows some promise for you:) Like the wise soul above suggested, study this truck hard and with a fine tooth comb. I sense that you cant be easily fooled Will:) That's a good tool!

    dude......i just got done at the dealer at 9:30, then had to go to the lake for a bit!!!

    and actually, though its the last time im gonna buy from them......i got it at harrelson!! i saw it there sunday, then looked at it a few times, but it wasnt their stock. so, after the test drive today, and me going over the truck with my beady lil eyes........we made the deal. so they bought the truck from the guy who worked there, and i traded in outta the shithole lease!!! i may get the truck from service and detail on saturday, but hopefully,they take their time and i get it back on monday!!!!! damn..........i see alotta mods in my future!!!:D
