I bought a truck with a salvaged restored title. No problem with insurance. Insurance pays 80% if wrecked or stolen I paid less than 50% KBB. I brought a mechanic with me to look at the truck we couldn't find anything wrong so I took it home.

I think I bought one of those with the red clay, never really had any problems with it though.

Well, this is interesting. Not only does it apparently have out of place parts, there is some damage after all. There is also some reference in the auction information referenced above to flood damage. Seems now that the ad is misleading.

Actually, I've been helped more than once. But I don't know what you mean by SUPPORTER. Fill me in and I'll be more than happy to help.

Become a member, a supporter- go to the top of the page, click on Misc, click Club FTE, read the description of the benefits and at the top of that page there's a tab "Join"- 3 year membership is only $60 and I have gotten knowledge here that far surpasses what that's worth. PLUS you get a cool T-shirt and a groovy FTE decal. Oh among other things you get that sweet blue box next to your name. The site and knowledge are free, but it helps to support this site so it's around for a long time.
