Gears have been a nightmare, the dumbass didn't do a good job... Finally sold the truck...

And bought it back last week :)

It needs an oil change and check the abs light, otherwise it drives fine.

It has a 8.8 with 4.10 gears and limited slip...

I have 265-70r15 tires I will put on in the spring.... Can't wait

Sold it to my father in law, told him all about the rear diff, it was shaking and whatnot...in December of 2017...

Bought it back from him, my other truck will be a trail rig...

I found and picked up a good replacement diff for him, his friend installed it, he told me he wanted to sell and needed the pictures, I told him I wanted it back... I was shopping for a DD...

He wanted to go back to a diesel vw.

I think it's the cold more than the French. To my knowledge speaking French does not make you prone to buying and selling the same vehicle multiple times.

It makes the story of it less clear, I don't think there's anything bad buying back a vehicle....

I understand you just fine. I also don't usually get rid of a vehicle before the recycler is the only person it is any good to.

I sold it to be able to buy a house, Wich I've done in January last year, I daily drive my 98 b4000 for a year and I was in search of a DD. my old b4000 will become a second vehicle, mostly for mild off-road, I want to explore the region around my hometown...many lakes, dirt roads... It is my desire to do so, don't know if I'll have time to travel around...
