Core BERND
I have more problems than I thought.
1. Oil residue in air hat on top of throttle body fins (leaky head
gasket???)
2. Hole/leak in passenger side exhaust manifold at block.
3. Power steering pump leaking
4. Leak on both sides of transfer case seal (front and back).
5. Leak at both ends of transmission seal
6. Bad heater core
It looks like after 159,000 miles and 11 years, I'm going to have to trade
it in. I don't have the money and time to keep putting into this truck.
With the need for reliable transportation to and from Detroit, MI each
month, I need something newer.
Not sure if I'm going to get a brand new vehicle, or a slightly used one,
but my hopes are to get another truck.
