Sweet find! When I look at used vehicles I take my scanner so I can read "Historical Codes".

You don't hear many stories where the dealer's customer actually comes out ahead on a deal! Congrats. Does it have the 5.3? How's the interior?

 

[Fosscore]

So do I. I have A creed scanner. Boy has it saved me a few time from buying JUNK

It had shift solenoid trans code and flex fuel sensor, multiple misfire codes. But that's all been fixed and cleared out of ECM. Only code is for flex fuel and dont care since im not stupid to run E85 in it

Thats about the right price around here for that truck if 2wd. Very good price if 4wd!

Ya this one I found in Garland, Dealer wanted $2500 but after a few hours of becoming "Friends" I drove away for $1200

Past few weeks seen some burbs go for STUPID cheap. Possibly cause of the virus everyones out of work need money for bills/rent ??

I like having the option, myself. If you don't use it a lot -- in my experience -- it lasts a good long time. 4WD has saved my bacon at least once, and has helped several times. So, no, it isn't *needed*, but it sure is a convenience.

 

[Matthew Jeschke]

Dang that's sweet

 

[1BADI5]

Nice score, know you could turn around and flip it and double your money

If it has no issues I would gladly pay much much more for it.

It rained here yesterday... I've managed to talk my wife into using 4WD high when it rains. We skidded less than 10 feet, and the front wheels kept us pointed straight.
