Morning guys,
Well I hope life is finally settling down. Was at a cabin with family last weekend and then had to go to Georgia for work until yesterday.
Hope everyone has been good. Looks like you guys had a good trip.
Here is a link to the local newspaper article on the fire.

How goes the clean up? Need any help or anything?
Looks like Billy is famous now.
Seems you can't trust anyone anymore.
Were there receipts on the engine and trans replacement?

I told them not to buy that truck...
Nope, there were no receipts. Transmission replacement at 160k I can understand but why was that motor replaced? Those 5.3s are usually pretty stout.
The fact that the CEL was burned out or removed makes me wonder too...

That's not good. I had a friend that bought a car once and same thing happened with the CEL so ever since then when I look at a vehicle I always turn the key on and look for the CEL to make sure it lights up.

Not yet but I have had a lot of calls so I am not worried. Just being a little stubborn on the price with all the calls I seem to be getting. I am gonna try for top dollar!

I can understand the transmission, but like you said, why the engine too?? IMO, it was probably all BS that it was replaced, just to get a little more $$$ on the sale. I can't remember, was a private party sale or dealer?

Private party unfortunately.
My brother is on his way out to Vegas now so my dad brought it up to the tranny shop. I told him to call the seller and ask him WTF? What is the worst that can happen? He tells you to get bent?

I'm guessing the seller knew about it, and that's why he was selling.

Not particularly, looking for something newer, more comfortable to ride. If I can't find something reasonable, mine will get modded to be more comfortable to ride.
