If I didnt love my truck so much.....

I'd sell it.
had the truck for 3 years with never any real issues.

been in NC 11 months and have had nothing but problems.
always lil stuff, i think thats what frustrates me the most.

2 months ago the outside door button falls in the door. no biggie it still opens.
2 weeks ago the inside handle linkages pops off, now door wont open from inside and cant really reach the outside butten from inside real well.
spent the whole time since then climbing in and out the passenger side.

friday i go to truck at lunch and there is a huge puddle of gas under the truck, leaking fuel line.


take truck home it sits till sunday, not a drop of fuel since. so sunday i decide to fix all the issues.

changed fuel line, changed door handle. the inside door linkage was twist tied together. so i fixed that too.


Today coming home from work as i get on hiway i hear a loud bunch of noises banging around near tha back of the truck, as i reach hiway speed it goes away. im thinking hmm, i will check it out when i get home.

get off hiway and driving and noise comes back, so i pull over to check it out.

the rear u-joint is missing a cap and is about to come loose from the rear end.

babied it home and looked under truck, barely hanging on and the straps holding them in are both broke.

go to parts store and pick up the parts. wouldnt you know it, that none of the parts stores here have the tools to change u-joints.

still trying to figure this one out.



sorry, needed to rant a lil bit
