d1driver said:Put a asking price up, like you are supposed to.
Robbie said:what's the story with the truck? looks like a really clean high miles '94 or '95. broken cargo window, but otherwise that thing looks rust free.

macklow said:It is rust-free. Has 275K miles. exhaust is getting into the coolant. head gaskets are original; last time I did a compression check (6 months ago) it was 150s and 160s. Engine fires up fine and truck is drivable, but the exhaust pushes the coolant out the expansion tank within a few miles.
Work done recently (past 6 months):
new fan clutch
valley gasket
thermostat
plugs/wires/cap/rotor/amplifier/coil
atf filter and new dexron VII atf
oil change (15-40 rotella - not synthetic)
new glass on rear door
Body wise it is in pretty good shape; no rust but the truck has always been in socal and southern nevada.
it has a tru-trac on the front axle, cold-start prom, bilstein shocks on stock springs.
all electrical stuff works: abs, windows, AC, cruise control, radio, cd, headlights, turn signals, interior lights
idiot lights all work as designed (oil, airbag, etc)
diff lock engages and disengages without any problems
no sunroofs.
I am selling because I don't want to spend the money to pay someone to do the head gaskets and after doing the valley gasket recently, am not into tackling the job myself.
I'm saving my wrenching karma for my audi which is due for some sort of repair any day now

TOZOVR said:if your compression was fairly close across all 8, I'd say headgaskets aren't the issue. Slipped liner is more likely?
macklow said:well, I don't know how susceptible the old 3.9s are to liner dropping, but if it's gone 15 years and 275K without dropping one, don't know why it would now...
no clouds of white smoke out the tailpipe, just smells like exhaust.
