That is very low miles for the year.
I know! That's why I'm so upset by all this.
I'm beginning to think that 3 years of shoddy mechanic work by that jerk mechanic (who kept telling me he was doing all these maintenance things, when he apparently wasn't) took its toll, and now I'm stuck.
I feel really stupid for ever trusting that idiot....
Short of zero maintenance by previous owner(s) I would be a bit suspicious of the odometer reading.
I'm starting to wonder that myself. The sorts of problems it's had seem indicative of a truck with 250k+ hard miles, not 105k easy ones! Is there any way of proving whether or not the odometer has been tampered with?
I dunno. I've read about some of the fancy mods you and others have described on these forums, and I'm tempted to make this into a project and have fun with it (I still might, if circumstances allow, because I *really* like this truck!), but I need a solid, reliable truck for towing my horse right now, and I can't be messing around with a half-broken truck when a fire's coming and I need to get out ASAP.
Anyway, since I already have a 4L80E, no conversions are necessary and I should just be able to get another one for $500-$1,000, drop the old one out and lift the new one in easily enough, so I might ask around and see if any friends-of-friends can help me out with it for cheap, because I suspect, as I mentioned earlier, that most of the cost is in the labor.
