You are not the only one who is cursed. I purchased my truck from my uncle in January. An impulse buy for me as well. I saw it and fell in love. I was told that the engine is strong and the transmission was just replaced and it pulls great. Guess what. I haven't been able to drive it yet. Got it home and changed the plugs, wires, trans fluid and filter, oil and filter. Then filled the radiator with coolant to find the rad had 2 major leaks. Tried to drive it any way, just down the street mind you, and the trans just has now power. And I won't even mention the brakes. Just my story. Finally able to get parts now. But you are by no means alone in your troubles. Hope you get her going soon!!
