New Truck

Well new to me. Friday I looked at the third truck that was available, and even though it was last used by a smoker, it was a lot better than the previous two. It only took about three hours of cleaning to get it to be something I would be willing to sleep in, the last truck I had to clean up took six hours. I only went through two buckets of clean water versus the six the other one took.

It still has a few things wrong with it mechanically, but only one thing that is potentially serious, a major wobble in a steer tire. It feels like it is unbalanced. I also need to do some serious adjusting to the nose mirrors, one is way to low, and the other only shows me the truck. The worst things have been taken care of already, it just had a service done on it. The engine is also spotless after having a head gasket replaced as Cummins, which is where I picked it up from.

They are still saying that I will be able to get my other truck back once it is fixed, but I will believe that when I see it. Now if this truck goes faster I might keep it, other wise I will probably still want my truck back.
