Truck for sale. Was "need a mechanic who can work free in TN"

[towcat]

how should I put this I HAVE NO MONEY!!! this truck has sucked the life out of my wallet

hopefully you have learn a valuable lesson from all this. no matter what you buy, make sure you have a budget to fix it. If you buy something that isn't running, make sure the budget is even bigger. If you do seek advice, do park your arrogance and open your ears and think carefully of what has been imparted to you. doesn't matter what you take on in life, opening your ears and mind will help you get ahead.

take some responsiblity for your own actions first.
never ever ever take someone else's word for why a truck won't start up and run. or anything to that matter.
they are walking away from it FOR A REASON.
you bought a "pig in a poke".
if it doesn't run, bid salvage value on the truck/car/whatelse.
have the knowledge to fix it on your own OR DON'T TOUCH IT.
so he wasn't being honest with you, he didn't put a gun to your head and have you pull the money out of your wallet.

hey I told him everything that happened to that truck and he still wants it... I don't understand why he wants it, he's got a 96 Dodge RAM 2500 with the cummins 12 Valve and some 4 -wheelers and some other stuff... this boy has everything he wants... thats why I don't understand why he would even want to rip me off..

it's very simple........you thought you were able to get into a diesel cheap.
like I said before....HE DIDN'T PUT A GUN TO YOUR HEAD TO BUY THE TRUCK.

Either way he should've told me EVERYTHING that was wrong with it....

what does he do for a living? is he a professional mechanic?

 

[FORDMAN41291]

no, he is still in HS he is a Junior I graduated 2009.... his parents are loaded and give him everything...

he's younger than you and you expect him to know more than you?
just because his parents give him everything doesn't make him an expert.
he prolly knows less than you and told you what he's been told.

well he lives on a farm (i use to with a gas mower John Deere riding mower thats how we mowed our 10 1/2 acres) with a lot of diesel engines and he took a diesel class at VOC. ED. according to him it sure sounds like he is/was whatever is smarter than me when it comes to diesels

look at yourself in the mirror. you were taking the advice of an underclassman. so he took a class in diesel tech. did you investigate to see if the class covered IDI's?

 

[FORDMAN41291]

I just think he was after my money to be honest bout it... that's ok hopefully my GG will let me by his Chevrolet 1500 Z28 straight piped and all...

Dude, there's no such thing as a "chevrolet 1500 Z28". Maybe you're talking about a Z87 4x4? A Z28 is the RPO code for a high performance Camaro, like these.
