I will keep this truck until I die. I was about to buy a Nissan frontier yesterday to have a 4x4 but damn I left the dealership thinking about how much I’d rather just get a RCSB gmt 800 in 4x4.

Probably not the best place to ask but need some life advice here. As someone who likes things basic, analogue and repairable as possible, I’ve been a fan of the frontier from afar. Well with some nice rebates going on I decided to start shopping for a crew cab base model s 4X4. I managed to talk a dealer down to 38K (this is after taxes and everything out the door). So monthly payments of 670 for me and I’m stuck debating. Part of me thinks I could keep my old vehicle going and save that money for retirement. The other part is scared that this is the best price I’ll see on a truck before everything inevitably keeps inflating. I am an electrician and have a legitimate use for a truck. Right now I drive an 04 Silverado which I love to death and will never get rid of, but it doesn’t seem like a terrible idea to get its replacement now while it’s cheap and drive both.

Of all the upgrades I’ve made to my 2004, nothing has given me as immediate of an improvement as this right here. I’ve long been annoyed to the bone by a constant rattling that I thought was coming from under my dash. I’ve tore my dash apart trying to figure it out until I read about the steering column clunk in these trucks. People recommended this column bearing from Wolff engineering and damn did it work. Can’t recommend it enough
