    It's a money pit. I still wonder if it was worth the lettuce.

    My truck is to the point where it's not a daily driver and not sell-able if I had to.

    Lol but you don't understand. You live in Iowa as long as you don't care to sell it to some aspiring young redneck that thinks because its lifted on 33" its awesome. But in all seriousness I'm worried about my frame it seems sturdy but idk always worried lol

    I should rephrase. I could never sell it for anywhere near the value it had to me. The parts are worth more than the truck, but no one will pay for them what you would want. You gotta be dedicated to that truck because it's yours forever now.

    I know lol. Get ready about to get emotional here. But I always have this idea of my truck looking as good as a truck you would see in a car show bit sadly something always goes wrong :/ like my fender and bed. Granted fender will be easy and I'm thinking of bobbing the bed it would get rid of the damage there. I mean I never haul long items so might be a project. Idk lots of little things

    True but I guess every part I replace will be one more new part and I plan on buying a car as a beater. But I really need to get the body straightened out and my 60 gal compressor to anti rust the entire truck ^_^

    It's hard to hate on the 400 series OEM system that has lasted this long. There are no doubt more corrosion resistant types of stainless like 304. For daily driver duties I will keep the extra cash required for a 300 series system for hookers and blow. ;)

    Has the dealership checked it out for you? You know about the frame recall correct? I had a 97' that ended up having the frame rust issue and they bought it back for 150% of book value.

    Since the buyback ship has long since sailed do the hammer test on your frame for piece of mind. Any areas that fail can be repaired.
