And the Very Bad Thing I Know About:
Vehicle was towed to Smith Company Motor Cars (LR Dealer) in Charleston, WV for diagnostic and engine teardown. Vehicle was overheating. Dealer invoice (included with purchase) states:
"Performed coolant system test. Found that there was too much coolant system pressure. Performed block leak test. Found exhaust gas getting into coolant system. Performed tear down on engine to remove both cylinder heads. Found that 3 cyls slightly dropped. Found that cyl 7 had scoring on back of cyl wall due to coolant spraying side of piston. Boy cylinder heads are warped. They would need to be checked for internal cracks at machine shop and head to be machined and reworked."
Dealer recommended replacement long block as best course of repair which was declined. All parts removed are in the cargo area as pictured. The heads and block have not been checked any further and may or may not be repairable. The vehicle was also partially diagnosed for an electronic gremlin which was unresolved due to the larger engine problem. Dealer requested more diagnosis time. The bill for this diagnosis and teardown was $535.30. Vehicle was towed home and has been parked as-is. WILL NEED MAJOR ENGINE OVERHAUL OR REPLACEMENT.

Includes all original Owner's Manuals and Two Remote Keys. I will include all repair bills I have (listed above) from the previous owner who drove the vehicle for approximately two years. Total of bills is $6,657.69! Also included is a new rear air bladder in box and a replacement sway bar (pictured). The rear air ride is fully functional to the best of my knowledge, however you can see clearly in the pictures that it is 100% deflated. I have been unable to find a safe way to inflate as the vehicle sits without risking electronic component damage. Normal operation inflates the system upon startup which is, of course, impossible. I am not aware of any other problems, however I bought this vehicle as-is from the previous owner with the intention of repairing it. I have decided to let someone else take on this project! This will be a great truck when it is repaired.

This vehicle will have to be towed or hauled from zip code 25702. I am also willing to meet a truck if you would like to make shipping arrangements. Please view all pictures carefully and feel free to contact me with any questions. This vehicle is being sold as-is, where-is, no refunds. Be prepared to turn a few wrenches. Thanks!
