Almost like a new truck

I bought my truck about a month ago off craigslist, picked it up for 1300 bucks. Bringing it home, I have a bump as I pull into the driveway, and all I heard was a pop. Unamazingly it was the radius arm bushings. So I went ahead and ordered poly radius arm bushings, and 2" leveling spacers. As i'm driving it to the dealership I work at, I slowly start to hear a roar, ends up after putting it on the rack it needs wheel bearings bad and seals. So I pick those up. When we go to pull to the wheels off, ends up the rotors are about to fall apart, and it needs pads. So I picked up all ford motor craft bearings, seals, and brake parts. Then the tires are about slick so I picked up a set of used mud terrains for 75 bucks lol. Also doing all the BG service flushes (trans, engine, brakes, coolant, powersteering, etc.) This truck better drive like new when its done damnit. Can't beat a good full service though.

When one thing goes wrong ur destined to find several things wrong. But at least u caught them when u did.

Damn, now thats a bunch of stuff to go wrong at one time! I thought that only happened to me.................. At least you know what you have done to it, and know that you should be good to go on those items for a while.

I also forgot to add, the bad RA bushings wobbled out on the brackets. Found one at cost minus 50% through ford though. Getting it for like 25% of what it retails for lol. I figure i'll have a 1600-1700 in it once its all said and done, and it'll be good to go for school and the DD beating.
