I've been repairing a few other issues with the truck. A new rear window latch was installed. The transmission pan is leaking due to a bent design in the Derale pan. The truck is now having the stock pan put back on to avoid leaks. I'll include the Derale pan if you'd like to try and fix it yourself (or send to them for a replacement). |

I washed the truck of pollen today, and am in works to schedule a detailing job. I took some more exterior pictures, and a large number of under-body shots. These shots were designed to point out the weak spots in the truck: scratches and small rust marks. Check the gallery for the latest pictures. I've also taken a few more videos today, posted to my YouTube account here. |

This inspection ensures that you, the buyer, do not have any major additional out-of-pocket expenses. The Maryland Safety Inspection is required by law whenever buying/selling/transferring a vehicle in Maryland. Sometimes the buyer pays, sometimes the seller does. I stand behind my truck 100% and am paying the full cost of inspection and repairs. Maryland has one of the most comprehensiev inspection routines in the entire country, so the truck should be ready to be driven in your home state immediately! |
