I never would have done a transmission fluid flush of the engine. I know that is something some people advocated at one time but I would avoid such.

The vehicle looks good for a 95.

I would lift that mat in the rear cargo area and see what condition that floor pan is in.

Thank you, the vehicle has had a lot of TLC from me and the paint job was done by the previous owner. The hood is a little misaligned and I don't have the funds ($850) to have it realigned. The seats are all torn up and the interior cloth is saggy.. I might just get it all redone in some faux animal skin [snake or polar bear LOLZ??] (dreaming) but overall I like it. The wiring is terrible, I'll take pictures of the wiring behind the head unit and show you, plus the wiring of my OBDI Box under my passenger seat to show you why I thought the box was broken.

And about the ATF flush, I actually thought it would destroy the engine (because I've never heard of it) but Mike called me and explained how he was an ex service manager for dealerships and BAM! Sold like candy to a baby, but he hasn't given any bad advice so I trust his judgement.

And I'll take pics of the floor pan for you!

Is your truck lifted? Or am I seeing things..... Just looks a little bit higher than stock/factory.

yeah it does look lifted. also for the saggy headliner look in the "how to" section there is a write ups in there on how to take it out and paint it or take it out and recover it with new fabric.

I don't think it is.. Hmmm...I actually want to find out now. The guy I got it from said it's been completely stock since he's had it.

Well keep in mind that a new paint job just before selling a vehicle is often an attempt to conceal something. And the front tag holder says New Jersey, that don't instill a high level of confidence either.

Yeah, that's true. But honestly this truck has given me 0 problems since I've had it. The only thing I can complain about is that the ABS light will not go away for anything haha. Any problems I've had with her is my own fault, but easily fixed. Overall it was definitely worth it. Less than $2k and I have the title and everything is clean and clear *ONLY 149K Miles). The guy I bought it from is a huge Honda/Acura guy and he said it didn't fit in with his other cars. He got it for free or something I think, I can't remember.
