Well, bad went to worse, and I may well have to sell off my baby. The next week will make the decision on what happens.
Kelly Blue Book, and NADA show the truck in stock form plus a few extras (bed liner, running boards, radio) between $25k and $27k as private party values.
I need honest estimates for the truck with everything listed below. I will probably try to sell it here with everything for a few weeks, then return it to OEM, and sell off the goodies separately.
