yea the dude i got the truck from said it was a fleet truck (from some big company) so im guessing that it probably got serviced more frequently than needed. and i know they work it caused the wheel wells are dented way in and the front of the bed is ripped on both sides from too much weight shifting from side to side on the racks that must have been on there before
