If you can buy a "pretty nice truck" for $3000, So can everybody else. Why would they buy yours instead for $3500 -4000 ?

Sorry to bust your bubble son, but thats no $4200 truck !
In the real world what you have put into it or are going to put into it, doesn't amount to a pee hole in a snow bank.
Would you pay $4200 for a 13 yr old truck with 262,000 miles on it, rusty cab corners and tailgate. I sure as hell wouldn't.
If you wound up getting your $2900 back out of it I think you would have done damn good.
It's still a good looking truck, keep it and run the hell out of. Get all your teenage foolishnes out of your system on this truck. It will make you and let you appreciate your next truck even more and then you will take better care of it in the long run.

I just sold last week a 97 Lariat, 5.4 loaded with every option for $4000. It had 217,000 miles, but it looked great on the inside but had a few dings and dents outside, I put it on Craigslist and sold it in one day, It did not have any rust anywhere and was a good solid truck.

on 87 it has a major ping. we also had a 98 expy 4.6 that did the same thing. it also does it with 89. ts enough of a ping with 87 that i thought i threw a rod.
read your manual to. it says the truck needs a minimum of 89 octane.
taking pics today. trucks going up for sale.

#2) What kind of gas mileage is your next "nice truck" gonna get ? unless it's a 4cyl chebby S-10
#3) If it pings on 87 octane, you must disclose that to any prospective buyer or you may inherit more issues
