Killed the '89 but i'm thinking of a '85 for a replacement

[Shoeboy]

Pulled the codes they are P0136 and P0141 (if i remember right) in any case, they are both codes for the bank 1 sensor 2 O2 sensor. Everything looks to been in good shape, and everything seems to runs and drive nicely, even with the light on. I am quite happy with this truck, and if its still there when I get some money moved from one account to another I'll trade the Dakota and get the F150. They were offering $6250, I worked them down to $5000 including trade in of the Dakota, and them leaving the light alone. I'm thinking this is the cheapest and best deal for me, concidering the Dakota has 253000km on it, and the transmission is on its way out, the heater doesn't work, as I found out painfully how badly you need one in Calgary as its -20C with the windchill. Theres a few other things that are wrong with it and it needs about a grands worth of work, if the transmission doesn't kick it. I'm thinking i'm going to be coming out with the better deal. It looks like no rust at all. I never checked about the recall, but if it hasn't been done theres a Ford dealer about a block away from the shop, and worst case senario I disable the CC as I will probably never use it.

The recall is so stupid simple to do I would go ahead and have it done, it takes all of about 10 seconds to actually do. Chances are by now it has been done, everyonce in awhile you still hear of one going up though.

Sounds like a good deal, post pics if/when you get it.
