Should I sell my Marauder?

I finally got around to having the other issues addressed today and got everything taken care of:

New Tires: Firestone Firehawks and a front end alignment (which, apparently, it needed). I was on my 2nd set of tires. Replaced all 4 tires with stock BFG many years ago @ about 25,000 miles. Now at 50,500 and the rear tires had almost no tread at all (I didn't realize they were so worn)

Brakes: replaced the rear calipers; ground the rotors, replaced all the pads, bled and refilled brake fluid

Oil Leak: Caused by a corroded oil pressure sending unit, replaced with a new one. Also had the oil changed. Also cleaned degreased the entire underside, which had oil all over the place from the oil leak.

Now, I'm good to go. Glad I listened to y'all and got her fixed. Especially glad I was able to replace the air compressor myself!

All the work was done by stevengerards cousin in Libertyville. He's got a really nice shop in Libertyville.

Congrats!!!!!!! :party:
 
Good to hear that everything was fixed and that all of the repairs were simple items. The car should be good for another 50,000 miles.

:beer: Nice job! glad you're still a Marauder man.
 
Glad you got your issues taken care of :up:
Your mileage is finally starting to catch with me @ 97k
You can't sell without consulting me since you talked me in to buying mine in the first place.
We're in for the long haul. Besides, I think you promised Jett ( before he was born) that he was next in line for that car :D
 
So glad you kept it.

Rick,
Your kids have to be teenagers. I still have a note pad, a "get out of jail free" card and a non-functioning pen from a decade ago when you most awesomely offered cool bling for the Marauderfied! You are like a founding member here, only us old-timers remember your posts from '04! Keep the car!!!!
 
GREAT Job managing through the list--sometimes it is THE LIST that seems hard... and simply starting in on just ONE item begins the journey to completion.

GLAD you got it all done! An inspriation to those behind in thier auto maintenance!

CONGRATS!
 
Way to go friend, been there and done that on the compressor...mine was shot when I got the car with 35k on it.

The tires and whatnot...it's the price of owning any automobile.

I'm glad you dug yourself out of the hole.
