This truck has been my personal daily driver for the past seven years. Everything works, and all maintenance has been professionally done with best-quality parts. Most work was done at Extreme Performance in Bloomington, IN. Freshly detailed at Ackerman Detail Services in Bloomington, IN, including ozone treatment of the interior. Nothing to do but get in and drive. I would not hesitate to jump in this truck and drive a thousand miles or more without any attention whatsoever. She's good to go.
