Everybody's going to the small displacement, turbocharged engines. Great fuel economy and crazy power. The Ford F-150 V6 3.5 liter EcoBoost is a power house. Basically putting the V8 engine out of business

My 93 s10 with the 4.3 gave up the ghost the other day with 276k. That truck made me a ton of money.
Rebuilding it with a crank kit and a new tranny. Not interested in a car a payment of buying someone else's troubles. |

I had one of those. Square body. Black. Heartbeat of America on the side. Camaro rims. Blew blue smoke every time I started it. Still a nice truck.

Manuals are part of a new vehicle. You should have received one. In 37 years of selling new vehicles, I have not delivered one without. Oh, CP just got back a car guy!

Don’t worry, I won’t be contributing to this slush fund. My new Land Rover was built in the Solihull Plant, United Kingdom. |

I got the new Chevy Trailblazer and it only has three cylinders, but is turbo charged, so you would never know it.

Figured I'd click on this thread after driving my 2001 4 Runner with 325K miles.
Still going strong. Went to get an extra key made. $5. |

No hard copy owners manual on a 70K rig? Yeah, I would have made them throw that in, that's horse shit. The are not going to crater a 70K deal over a $50 owners manual. At this point, keep checking for your manual on ebay. |

Yeah that would be the ideal solution and they damn well should provide one. With that said, you know how some of those outfits get after the sale. If they tell him to go pound sand, ebay would be a lot cheaper than spending the 50 bones, plus shipping.
