Well the ole B2 has finally became more expensive and in depth repairs needed than I can afford.
I found that the flywheel is damaged...thus the starter grinding issues, and so as a result it might start and it might not. I'm through throwing parts at it that I can't afford. The place I work has decided to close on Saturdays so now, I'm screwed even more for pay on an already low income. Its time for the B2 to go . I don't have the time, patience, knowledge, shop, tools, etc to do the work needed to fix it then find out that might not fix it and need something else type thing. Its just time to let it go. Its been for sale for a week now, and haven't had any offers so I'm thinking if I can get it started one last time I'll drive it to the salvage yard .
Why is it, that its just a truck and I didn't buy it new, yet I feel so sad about having to let it go? Its a pile of crap inside and out yet why is it so hard to just let it go?
