Need some advice on my truck

[travish325]

Just dump some of that HG sealer shit from Napa in it and let 'er eat.

Fuck that guy for not heeding your instructions.

I think this is what Im gonna do.

yes

He blatantly disregarded your instructions while on a test drive. You should spend your time gathering evidence that the truck was NOT in that state before the test drive and prepare to show it to him if (when) he bitches about the HG. Use the down payment to fix it if worst comes to worst and he backs out

I dont really have evidnece to show it was fine before, other than my word and the words of people who were there and saw it. I do have a giant puddle of oil sitting in my driveway lol

with a blown head gasket, I'd be worried about it becoming a runaway.
2nd gen cummings take no time at all to swap te head gasket. Get one and swap it out for good karma.
My honest opinion is you shouldn't have let him drive it without the gate hooked up. It's partially both of you guys fault.

Its not hard to keep the boost down, you just dont floor it all the way, Ive towed well over 14k lbs and never had to go above 20psi. The gate doesnt work anyway and I informed him of everything he said ok. I dont have the time to change a gasket right now or I would.

I also thought I could tell him and say I will have a shop fix it but he will need to throw in the amount to fix it on top of the agreed price.

I made a bill of sale for the down payment which is signed by both of us, also the bill of sale when he pays in full is made up and says 'truck is sold as is no warranty' and will be signed by both of us as well.

Honestly the truck is drivable like this (same thing happened on my brothers truck, didnt over heat just messy) Im just not sure how long it will take him to realize the oil in the coolant.

Honestly, this could go two ways. One, you did warn him and he obviously didn't care what you said. If you tell him now, I guarantee he backs out and gives you crap about the deposit. Best case scenario, he asks for a big chunk off the agreed-upon price (assuming you have one already?)

The other way it could go is you have the deposit and all private sales are assumed to be "as is." If you have a signed bill of sale, it's a done deal. If you don't, well...he might decide to abandon the deposit just to avoid things getting bad.

I hope it works out but I'm afraid that you have more to worry about in this situation than he does.

Ok, Im selling my 2nd gen cummins on craigslist. Guy comes by and sees it and loves it, He puts $1500 down and test drives it. Before the drive I told him the wastegate is not hooked up so dont take it above 35psi boost and dont let the egts get above 1300 (cause shit will start melting). He pulls out and floors it I look over and the egts are pegged at 1500 degrees and the boost pegged at 55psi. I say whoa dude and he holds it there a good 5-10 seconds then says sorry and lets go. Get the truck home everything appears fine. He comes back the next day with his wife and takes her for a ride to convince her to let him buy it. Idk how he drove it with her but at this point I didnt care I had 1500 down so I considered it sold. He gets back they love it, he agrees to bring me the rest of the money in a week.

So after he leaves I see oil gushing down the front end, Im like "fuck turbo blew". NOPE Head gasket completly gone, all the coolant is straight black oil just gushing out of the overflow tank and rad cap. Im pissed at this point, I clean it up flush it and park it. Keep in mind it was fine the day before he drove it the first timem, I didnt drive it once he put money down. I know for a fact that it was fine cause I usually baby the truck since it is my dd and Ive never had an issue.

Key points
-He has 1500 down
We agree it is only refundable if I back out or something breaks on the truck
- I have not told him its blown yet


So do I just let him take it since it is an as is buy and say fuck you you didn't listen your own fault?

Or should I tell him and see what happens? I dont want to have to refund him money and be out a truck cause of this guys ignorance. But there is no real way to prove it was him that blew it (even though I know for sure and I have two people who Know it was fine before). I thought about telling him he did it and I imagine him saying "you are probably trying to sell me a broke truck F U give me back my money"

So what to do?
