I enjoy my truck, but do not have the time right now to get it where I want it. I flew to Washington state about 6 months ago and bought this truck from a dealer. During the test drive, it was a little stiff shifting between gears, but I did not think anything of it at that time. After buying the truck, I drove it home to Peoria, AZ (Phoenix). Within 1 or 2 weeks of owning the truck, I began having great difficulty getting the truck into any gear. At that time, I thought it was probably just the clutch. So, I replaced the engine's rear main seal, flywheel, pilot bearing, clutch disc, pressure plate, concentric slave cylinder, and master slave cylinder. This did not resolve the issue, so just last week I got a second opinion from a local auto shop (Tech 1 Auto). After bleeding the clutch and further diagnosis, they came to the conclusion that my transmission has bad synchros. With work, I do not have the time to replace it, and do not want to pay more for someone else to replace it.

Cons
Transmission needs to be replaced
I think engine needs a new timing kit
AC makes a little clunk after turning it on, but then sound goes away
