GarageScout Take

5.3-liter Vortec V8, installed in 2021, drives through a six-speed automatic and a 1.2:1 dual-range transfer case fitted in October 2024. The current owner added Puma-specification steel doors, matching paintwork, replacement weather seals, Explore Glazing windows, and an overland rear storage system with a marine-grade plywood bed platform. An intermittent throttle-to-pedal voltage discrepancy can put the truck into limp-home mode until it is restarted.

Strengths

  • Vortec V8 and six-speed automatic conversion
  • Current-owner door and paintwork refurbishment
  • Documented drivetrain service
  • Overland cargo conversion

Watch For

  • Intermittent throttle-to-pedal voltage discrepancy can trigger limp-home mode
  • Carfax mileage inconsistency noted as a possible clerical error
  • New Hampshire title carries an “Odometer Exempt” notation
