If someone can't even take the time to vaccum the f'in carpet in a truck before they post a for sale ad they'll have to pay me to take it off their hands- if they can't clean the carpet then chances are they can't keep up on some of the more important stuff either. I wonder why it has so many new parts? Probably because the owner didn't do crap to it, it fell apart and now he's trying to off it and cut his losses.

Points.
Thats an oldie!
Show of hands! How many here have adjusted points? And how did you go about adjusting?
Maybe the truck had a carb rebuild to go along with it.
Carb? Whats that?

Good old Flea-Bay

Well, since you asked I for one have done both. Points and carb rebuilds .. lost technology in this day and age. Heck of a lot easier than changing glow plugs and injectors. A lot cheaper too. Good old days gone and now only computer controlled.

No offense to anyone in the here in the Northern US, but I would never buy a truck from Pennsylvania. Im a Georgia native and I found out the hard way that even the nicest trucks from the Northern states are average at best by Georgia standards. And I am referring specifically to rust. If somebody in Georgia says "no rust" he means 'not any rust". Someone in New york says "no rust" he means "hardly any rust compared to other trucks around here."

Im spoiled I know, but I have been burned once before and now I shop no farther north than Tennessee.

I have as well. By eye and with a feeler. Also set timing by ear and with a light. I would rather work on a PSD anyday!!

Toyo you are exactly right about northern salt belt trucks compared to southern/western trucks. Very different animals!
