So rather than a new truck I have decided to overhaul my 2006 xl 4x4 standard cab. I have had it since new and it's the best vehicle I have ever owned. 133k 3.0 Engine reseal to start with.
Then new timing set, water pump, clutch kit, p/s lines, air conditioning system, radiator, and rebuilt head assembly. And yes, it has the underdog 3 pulley set up.

The cooling system elbow(s) at the top front like to rust out, so check them
Timing chain didn't wear out on these, doesn't even have a tensioner, lol, but the timing chain cover does have 2 coolant passages that will leak so new gaskets for sure
And new rear main seal, on any engine when its out
My AC gave out this year. I think we'll do the evaporator coil too since the motors outta the way.
Those outlets are a tad corroded but not terribly scary. Power steering pressure hose was rotted pretty good. What 17 Michigan winters will do.
