lol no.  I drove an F150 for 11 years until it started leaking everything simultaneously.

I had a shitbox 2000 S-10 that decided to do that after only 7 years and 120,000 miles.
pbj:
Mine was a 2001, and I got it up around 130,000 before the leaks started.  Prior to that, the computer system went to ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and had to be replaced ($1,300 and it took them a month to figure it out).  I'm still not completely sure if that was the problem or not... it was still backfiring at 2,500RPM when I left the shop... brought it back on Monday morning and it was fine that afternoon.  Maybe it was just a cracked spark plug the whole time.   :lol  ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- happens, it went another few years trouble free.

Anyway, sprayed the underside with choke cleaner to get all the oil, transmission, and coolant off the engine.  Then took it to a car wash and power washed the entire undercarriage to make it look like an overzealous pre-sale cleaning.  Idled it for an hour, took it to CarMax on a cold day, they gave it a 3 minute inspection, and drove as fast as I could to my bank with their cashier's check.

Jenn, funny you mention that - if I had the space, a 45 playing juke is something I’d love to own.
