I was given a Ferd.
My wife's cousin had a fuel related breakdown with his '98 F150. Over the course of a summer I repaired said fuel problem, blown brake line, rear hose, wheel cylinders, broken front coil springs. Installed 4 good used, correct size hoops in place of the oversize bald tires, MAF, and spark plugs.
I wouldn't take labor money 'cause he's family, so when he got his '17 GMC Canyon, he cursed me with Ole Snowball. Snowball: because when you touch one thing, 2 more things break.
Since I got it, Snowball got a full stainless brake line kit, removed the NF A/C compressor with a A/C delete pulley, junk tensioner, split blades on the plastic radiator fan, replaced the leaking heater hose, which turned into a water pump, a Leveling kit, removed the rotted bed and a dually conversion with UTV paddle tires. Because a 2wd V6 field truck that gets stuck on wet grass sucks.
Eventually it'll get a flatbed and some kind of tool box, front and rear hitches, maybe mud flaps and some silly exhaust. Bosozoku style?
I've got about 2 grand into repair parts alone, with another 700 in parts waiting for nice weather.
Best of luck with your money draining project!
