They bought a truck from another state and meet them half way to buy it. It has a new paint job. Were i work they bought a 09 t300 Kw i was told some things it needed done so i went to drive it down to the shop i had to cut it sharp to get it out between to other trucks and it felt like the front tires were rubbing on the springs but that wasnt happening something is wrong. On the way home they said the temp gauge was jumping around so they wanted a new thremostat so i drained the colent the last bucket had about a cup of black oil on top with more comeing out of the petcock.

    Sounds like what my current employer does. Buys pig in a poke machines pretty often taking previous owner's word as gospel. Not such good luck that way.

    This truck has been a headack and the guy that pushed them to get one has used it some he dosent like or trust it. Every time something happens he tells me about it in disgust. To day he started it up and was geting ready to leave he comes runing over to me and said theres i worning beeper going off something he never hear before but theres no dash lighs on.I said i will look at it in a second he leaves and comes right back saying its ok. Later he tells me that the trucks radio has a alarm on it and it went off some how.
