Hi I'm Travis.
recently bought my first 2nd gen just over 2 years ago, half ton V8. I really didn't know much about the gassers and didn't really need a diesel as i do not haul much at all, so after some research, i found this 1998 on marketplace for $2200 with 180,000 miles on the engine and 4 year old rebuilt transmission
. Worst issue was fuel would leak out of the top of the fuel pump housing when you filled it up all the way, but that was due to someone not putting the lock ring on correctly, it basically cross threaded or only threaded on half way. So a new fuel pump and the ring installed correctly fixed that, then a new windshield was needed. Put a waterpump and new hoses on it and thats been over a year ago now. She's gotten me to and from work and everywhere else i need to go with no issues. So far the intake is staying free of oil so the plenum gasket appears to have not taken a dump yet
Put a relay harness and sport headlight swapped it last year, boy what a difference in lighting!
The only trouble it gave me where i couldn't drive it was the 02 sensors went out, put some NTK sensors back in it and she's been great ever since.
Outside cosmetically she's a 5/10.. clear is peeling and hood and roof are faded some. But it's a work truck and i don't need any prizes
And my dad has a 01 24 valve, which i will probably needing some advice on at some point.
