What to look for

[Brooklyn Tow]

There was a lot of oil on the bottom of the turbo, and underneath on the exhaust manifold, so I assume the CDR is really bad. The ODO reads 235,xxx, but I'm not sure if that is right

Could be truck has alot of blowby........

Still worth $1000 all day.

I messaged the first owner, and she said that it was pissing all fluids after the accident, but I don't know exactly what that means. I pulled the dipstick out and there was quite a bit of oil in it. Obviously im sure the antifreeze all pissed out, but. What do you guys think, is the motor junk? The frame rail is bent on the driver side where it hit, so could that have hurt the motor that bad?

I wouldn't think the block is hurt but some pic's would nice to double check (hint, Hint). I don't think you could go wrong with it at $1K. just the bed alone is almost that.

My dad went this weekend without saying that he knew me and offered $750. She refused.

The frame doesn't really look that bad from what I can see, motor/tranny is probably fine, frame is definitely fixable. if you want to take the time to part it out piece by piece, there is wayyy more than $1000 in parts there, probably close to $2000.

some of the things on that truck i might be concerned about, the person selling it was also selling another 6.5 truck, a white crewcab 5 speed truck. So just make sure to check EVERYTHING out

I know. She said she wants to buy a duramax instead. She has like 3 vehicles in her driveway. I think she just buys stuff and tries to make money off of it, since she bought both of them for 4500 and is now trying to sell them separate for a combined like 7000.

that makes sense, because when I had asked about that truck She couldnt give me any details about it other than "it's not fixable"...
