Hey all
54 and recovering with mobility impaired,
I had a nice k1500 I shoulda stored better than in the driveway , and its unfortunate my primary mechanic for the garage stuff had a brother that I was also friendly with and we were gonna re skin it when the rust got to it - but he died of cancer while i was recovering from ankle / hip injury.
- but two months after turning 50 - ouch hip and amlke surgery and then not a good luck guy sometimes, but the good news i am looking to get back on the horse, and I got melanoma when I was waiting for surgery I got interrupted by three unreal ! biopsy say wha? I digress..
last truck I bought I was laughed at by everyone I know for paying too too much, we were all kinda tight in 2008 - I got a 1998 k1500 from a local garage 4.3l for $3500 one owner , the garage fella was his local and had receipts, 80k - at the time my buddies were buying $2000 trucks and so was I previous - but the times were changing, maybe population density ? but i had it 10 yrs
I am an odd duck my favorite trucks are the
1 - 86 K1500 305 5 speed wo/d
2- 97/98 - k1500 w/t 4.3
3- Ram ??
I had a wagon that was parked on the legally parked on the street, that got hit when parked - the loaner , I got a great Ram 5.7 that had snap the head omg laugh with a heavy foot oof - what was it ?
but the drunk driver thought they were home but not that was one more driveway
I test drover a 5.7 pre pandemic hoping it would be such a fun truck - but it wasnt -
I swear the loaner, I could take it around the corner after work bout 10:15 pm and cold rubber.. turnin the wheel right into the four lane edge of suburbia two lane each way w crowned roads , stomp it ...I might get a hop or two and some rubber and a big old laugh outta me with a little head snappin' back fun ( reminded me of the 440/6 pack buddy had) - - then we got a coating of snow and I just rode a big loop around the lot of the church on the way home
the test drive truck was 32,999$ on the window - I asked if the would install a lower rear gear in the pumpkin they said no
what was the last ram 5.7 that snapped the head before the 8 speed ? thank you
if ya got one of those or a 4.3 w/t interested
