Hey Carolina (and neighbor) welcome to the forum.

"Maintenance required" means it's time for a new timing belt...every 60,000 miles, the current mileage reflects that. Fear not: it isn't terrilbly expensive, and you have all the information you need right on this forum. (Get a shop manual, anyways...they're good to have).

You paid way too much for your truck

Best of results to you! Keep your eyes out for junk yard or farm-yard parts trucks. Tailgate can run up to $100...maybe for now just leave it off or use a truck jock~strap.

You can find your engine type by looking at the tag on the left side of the firewall. Get us some photos of the engine, wouldja!?

Play nice Roy, you'll spook the noobs lol.

Hi Carolina, welcome to mightyram. These things will run forever if they are maintained. Well the ripped alt belt explains the charge light coming on! There's a thread on where to start in the members introductions section - http://www.mightyram50.net/vbulletin...and-do-it-ASAP
If you suspect the timing belt hasn't been done, get onto it (if it's a 4G64 engine). A blown timing belt will cause a whole world of heartache. If you have a question or problem the answers will definitely be here.
