Not too long ago the check engine light came on in my truck. Off to the shop for diagnostics. It seems either the cam shaft or the drive shaft need work. 
Over the last year I've been half-heartedly looking on line for a "new" truck. Time to get serious about looking. I had major sticker shock, but am adjusting. I had an age range and price range in mind. Reality is that I'm not going to find low mileage and reasonably new. So, I'm willing to go a bit higher on price. I'm s diehard believer in a particular brand. I won't compromise on that. This brand is like the Energizer bunny, it just keeps going. My current truck has over 260,000 miles on it. That's typical for the brand. This is my fifth truck of this brand. The only one that less mileage was one some dumb female dog broadside at 50-something miles an hour. Poor truck gave it's life to save mine.
Anyway, I thought I'd post about the hunt and what I end up buying. I have a friend who works for the brand's company. He is helping me by pulling background info on what I find. Sent him info on two. I may go check them out this weekend.
