You are very welcome. Congratulations on your new truck!

Welcome to the site. I personally think that you deserve an award for being brave enough to rip apart your new truck!!! That is one of the best parts about this forum, is the courage to pull/rip/modify these new (expensive as hell) trucks apart to see how they were built, and then make them your own "day two" truck! Says a lot about the people in the GM family, the pride in ownership is alive and doing well, as long as we survive the Covid-19 crap.....

Kind of feeling that way about myself too...... Made me start thinking about what the protocol will become for test/demo drives on lots, will they start screening people before they can drive a truck? Do they have to disclose if someone who was infected drove something, or was at the dealership? Wonder how much sanitizer the finishes can take before it starts removing/staining them, etc. This the biggest problem with this "epidemic", gives people like me to much time to think about things like this.

Well played sir, now go wash your hands after you sanitize your keyboard.....

You are very welcome. I was referring to when you got home, and parked it for the night, key out and door open to exit.

Good looking truck! Congratulations!

You basically reset the system when you opened your and took your key out for the night. Lots of electronics, next time (if there is one), stop your truck, turn off the engine, remove the key from the ignition, and then open the drivers door. Reverse what you just did, and see if that makes everything work again.

Is there one in the same location on the passengers side? The parts schematic list bushing number #1 having both a right and a left.

Ultimately, no one can make this decision for you. We can offer opinions, past experiences, and some general BS stories, but no one here knows how the truck was driven. If you really like it, ask if you can do an overnight demo. That way you can put some miles on it like you would normally drive, to get a feel for the truck, listening for odd noises, the way it accelerates, stops and so on. If it checks out, and you feel comfortable with it, buy it, you will have a full warranty if something does fail. Good luck, and let us know what you decide.

If you have doubts about the truck before you even buy it, you will always be looking and listening for problems, rather than enjoying it. $2200.00 dollars is really not worth it if you are not sure, buy a "brand" new one.

Depending on your age, and the number of new cars you have bought in your life, what do you feel comfortable doing? This kind of comes down too, if all of your friends and neighbors are buying toilet paper at break neck speed, are you going to do the same? Your truck, do what makes you sleep easier at night.

Wondering how this will affect gas prices, no one is traveling, or really going anywhere, so the demand for fuel will be low going into spring and maybe summer. Will the oil companies make up for loses with price increases?

Are you in the Seattle area? Where does she work?

You say that like it is a bad thing...

Last time I was in the back of any type of Ford, it was a Police car, and yes it was very uncomfortable....

Welcome to the site. Congratulations on your new truck, glad to hear you are OK. Dodge did it's job in protecting you.

Me Too! Defiantly a unique look in a good way! I think it will catch on with others.

That looks really good! Kind of a cross between the 18 and 19 T1 in appearance.

You have met the welcome wagon, pretty good response. Keep asking questions, plenty of help and you will find the answers you are looking for. What year is your 67-72?

Yay for the red hooks, maybe black bow tie too?

Did that with our 16 Tahoe, best move we could have made. But the factory Bridgestone's were pretty much shot in less than 40000 miles, so the choice was a lot easier.

When I take my Alpha Husky to the vet and he tries taking her temperature (you know where), she sits down and growls at him, so they come up with a different plan because she is the customer! Do not roll over and piss yourself and let GM drag their feet if you are unhappy!!! Make calls, let the dealership and anyone listening at GM know how unacceptable this is and make them fix the problem!!!

Step 1 Find the vehicle's VIN. The VIN is printed in several locations. The easiest place to find it is directly beneath the windshield on the driver's side of the vehicle. You can also find the VIN on the driver's-side door jamb. In addition, it's printed on the vehicle's title or registration. Step 2 Inspect the first digit in the VIN. This is the only number you need to analyze to determine what country the vehicle was built in. Step 3 Determine if the number is "1," "4" or "5" to find out if it was made in the United States. Either of these digits represents the United States as the country of origin. Step 4 Determine if the number is a "2." If so, the car was built in Canada. Step 5 Determine if the number is a "3." If so, the car was built in Mexico. Determine if the number is a "J" or "K." If so, the car was built in Asia. "J" stands for Japan, while "K" stands for Korea. Tip There are additional digits that you may encounter, although they are less common. "W" stands for Germany, "S" stands for England, "6" stands for Australia, "9" stands for Brazil, "L" stands for Taiwan, "Z" stands for Italy, "V" stands for France and "Y" stands for Sweden.

Do you have the recall number? Years affected per the letter?

I see them, pretty stout looking!
