CAR HUNT! or BOF & me car shopping!
Not a bad looking truck . . . should be able to flip it pretty easy. What's wrong with it mechanically? Rog
Well, right now, I don't hear a fuel pump running. It needs a new battery too. It will be getting the battery today and then I will be able to trouble shoot further then. I'm going to take in the new battery I just bought for the S-10 and return it for a top post batt for the ranger. If I can get to the fuel pump easy I will swap it out myself. I really hate dropping tanks though! On my old Dakota the book said to drop tank but when I stopped by the dealer they had my bed off and jacked up where the tank was to allow easy access to pump. I would even buy new bed bolts if I have to cut the old ones due to this being so much easier than dropping the tank. Bed lifting is the way to go for this job if pump is inside tank.
So I will be checking that out first.
It was bought cheap enough so it may just be taking another ride to the dealer for a diagnostic. They charge $75 for that but applies to repair. They only want $150 max labor to R&R fuel pump and I get the parts myself. Sometimes it's just cheaper and easier for me to just drop it, pay for it, and pick it up fixed!
These trucks around here are really holding their value. In our area this truck will be easy sell at $1500.
Today is going to be nuts. I will be over in KY to drop the S-10 and hopefully have my check in hand by 8:10 AM. Then I have to drive about 30 miles and the auction starts at 9AM. The dodge caravans I'm wanting are towards the end of the auction so I should be good there. But I won't have time to look at the tow away line up. I would rather buy one of the repo units due to them already being detailed and title is on premises. I could actually start trying to sell one of those repo units right away with no work involved due to them already being detailed.
I am really needing something to flip like 6 weeks ago. I'm against the wall for a few of my bills right at the moment. The S-10 check will take care of those.
