There is a 98 2wd Splash 4.0/auto available to me for $1500. I know it runs, but I also know it leaks fluids. Not sure which ones, neither does the owner. It's his daughter's and they don't have the time/money to fix it and want to cut there losses. . The body and interior are very clean, only the "splash" stickers are faded and peeling, some clearcoat issues, but otherwise a solid truck. What are the potential ailments of this truck, and is this the good 4.0 or the Bad one. Is it worth trying to whittle him down to $1,000 and trying to get it road worthy
