Mtnmanky...aka Leon 72 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Why does it bother me so much that the questoin is a concern over age of a '91 truck? I thought "old" for cars was before 1959! Could it be that I am getting old??? Say it ain't so!!! :bugeyes: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arthuruscg 34 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 The cars were built worse back then.Changes are the posi trac clutches are worn out. The AOD trans shifts very harsh. If i remember correctly, the odomoter only goes to 99,999 so it could have 140k or 240k.The cabin is noisy. Oh and the EFI back then stinked. In 92, there was a big improvement and then again in 96.

Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Well that thing was a piece of junk. The only good thing was the engine. Till it stalled out burning coolant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Well that thing was a piece of junk. The only good thing was the engine. Till it stalled out burning coolant. So you bought it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 So you bought it? Nope. Sil and I were discussing it while it was idling. I decided to give it a drive because it was all cosmetic issues. I sat in teh driver's seat and touch the steering wheel and the engine shut off and wouldnt start again. I looked at the the high school kid who was trying to sell it and said " yeah I think you have a little more work before this thing sells. Good luck". and we went to get pizza.

LOLI don't know what your budget is. But if you can find you a ford with the v-10 in it that is a beast of a motor and are know to make it to 300,000 miles. My work truck has one in it with a little over 100,000 miles on it and it runs like a top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

By then I hope to buy something new. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks. I will take a look at those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wak648...Bill 94 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 What is the weight of the pop up? You may have better expanded results if you look at 6 cylinders in some of the midsize SUV's. Also if you are just using it for towing or fair weather driving, you might also expand your selection if you drop the four wheel drive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Pup is 1500 lbs. I don't care about 4 wheel drive too much would prefer a truck though for runs to hardware store and dump. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beckers 1,136 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I have nothing helpful to add (besides good luck!) but seeing the links for autotrader reminded me of a story.Brian loves the free car magazines you can get at grocery stores/gas stations. We stopped at Wawa and I ran in to grab some hoagies for us and some drinks , on the way out I grabbed a car magazine and put it in my bag. While we were driving I told him I grabbed him one and it was in color! So much better than the black and white ones. He gets this funny look on his face and asked to see it. Yeah I didn't grab a free one I took one of the ones you are supposed to pay for!! Oops Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arthuruscg 34 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 What are your current vehicles? My Subaru outback tows our Coleman Taos just fine. How many people does it needto sit? I use to want a truck for HD runs, hauling motorcycles ect, but after borrowing my brother 4x8 trailer, i will never again lift concrete bags 4 feet in the air or deal with narrow loading ramps.
