    Nice Score and i thought my truck was on fire

    so i picked up this accent yesterday for 100 bucks, runs great insainly clean should be a easy flip

    runs good, after market deck new front tires, power steering leaks and needs brakes and lines.



    and on to the good news. My truck wasn't on fire. turns out im having alot of blow by. tons of exhaust puking out my crank vent. i drove the crap out of her today taking in this santa fe.

    maybe some fresh Rotella and some additive will sort it out, but at lest my trucks getting a free undercoat from the puke tube.

    sounds like it might be time for a new motor or rebuild.It should hold together for awhile longer though.

    Driver till she dies! What kinda mileage do you have on er? Mines got 385, but its had 35's on for a while so im guessing its more into the low 400s range lol
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    if i had to guess 30-40 bucks not even... was a few peices of random aluminum and shred, i think i stuff it all in the santa fe with a couple bikes. I don't normally take in shred unless i have over/close to 1500 lbs

    i did, that santa fe was from a friend of mine and she wanted them back for her new suv, but no we don't use a tire machine just a cement/quick cut saw with a diamond blade.
