Slight update, worst headgasket job ever, basically every thing that could go wrong did. Took 4 days between typical life activities to get it done. Have pics to upload will soon. 200 miles driven since it's been acting just fine on test-drives ...

... and then today I was rear-ended hard-core. rear bumper is toast, passenger door is acting up, my head hit the back glass - still don't know HOW that happened , the seat was so far forward (i'm short!!!), passenger tail light f'd up, probably have another short now... bed is bent upward at a back corner , tailgate won't shut, blinker is going nuts on the dash (crushed on the back) omggg.

still drives straight though... SUPER WEIRD. strongest toughest dang little truck e-v-e-r!

Huge GMC moving/delivery type truck rammed in to me on the freeway when I hit my breaks to avoid the car in front of me who hit on their brakes. I stopped, the huge ash truck behind me didn't stop until it hit my big bumper. ugh.

Sure glad I didn't just give it a paint job.

overall, grumpy mood.
