hey guys, the opportunity to buy my first truck back has come around. ok first things first, bought this 99 cummins with 234k on the clock when i was 15 years old with my money, dad paid the tax and reg. for me. for the tune of 6200$ i was driving my first diesel home. it had a bad oil leak, which i fixed, did the radiator, hoses, coolant and t-stat on her. she needed shocks i blew all 4 hauling logs and pulling stumps. i loved this truck. it was a rusty pos though, like all 2nd gen dodges. i sold it 6 moths later for 4500, it was time to cut my losses. its on CL today for 2800, the motor is out, new head on it, kid blew the HG, POR 15'd the frame, 4 tires, and a whole mess of other things. now, cyl 6 was knocking, pulled the new head off, and cyl 6 piston, rod, wrist pin and rings all need to get changed. i want the truck as a project for myself. but my parents say no, its a rusty POS and its time to cut my losses entirely, that its a waste of money. since then ive bought myself a duramax, lifted it and love it, its a great truck. i want my first car back, and for 2000 < i know i can get it for 2,000. would you guys go for it? btw. everything i sell, thats perfectly fine for me always ends up blowing up. i bought a wrangler for a grand with 83k from my dads buddy, sold it the next day and it blew, my quad, which i babied, sold it, blew. now this truck, which i tool pride in owning, and maintained it meticulously, it blew. now i can buy her back. should i do it?
