I am looking at a 04 with 6 speed and modified clutch. It has 20" wheels. I need a truck to tow 10K reliably. Will these 20" wheels hurt my tow capability?

Bob4x4 I see your point. For another 10K I can go to an much newer truck with much lower mileage. Maybe worth the up front cost.

Buying anything used is always a risk. However even new isn't perfect but does have a warranty, of course you have to be able to afford the cost of new. I can't. Thanks to TDR to show me where most of the pitfalls are and how to negotiate them. I don't mind the cose of modification and repair...

Would the possibility of busted rings show up by burning a lot of oil and smoking? How about a compression test. If the rings are busted it should show up when it is running. I believe the PO got a code for the injectors but I don't know what it is.

The PO says that one of the injectors is stuck shut and the idle surges as the other injectors try to compensate. That pretty much answers my question, if I buy this truck I have to change the injectors before I can do anything with the truck.

PO says it runs rough. He replaced the injector pump. My question is will it be ok to wait a few thousand miles so I can get the truck home or is this something that can cause further damage?

This one is a 04 with 200K on it. The PO wants $13K for and CC, auto, 4x4. All options but not many after market. I can use the work shop (after hours) to change the injectors myself. If I go for doing them myself how much time do I need and where can I get a guide for the install...

I am buying a 2004 auto with 200K miles. The PO says it needs injectors and is willing to cut the price so that the buy (probably me) can pay for the new injectors. What is the cost of these new injectors and their installation? At lease a ball park guess will do. Thanks
