More truck issues.....

 The truck was still having issues so while we were in Denver we thought we would look around and see if we could find another used truck at a dealer.  It was hard to find what we were looking for and stumbled upon a truck we really liked.  We were so tired of putting money into the original truck we bought, it was draining our savings fast.  So we decided to see what we could get in as a trade and see if we could make a deal.  After they evaluated the truck we were very surprised when they told us the truck had been in 3 accidents, 2 of them major and there was damage to the frame.

When we bought the truck we thought we'd done all the right things, we ran a car fax and it had reported one accident but was only minor.  We have since found out that carfax isn't good.....great to find out now.  Anyway because of the damage they would only give us a fraction of what we paid for it.  We felt like we've been kicked in the stomach.  We debated and stressed about what to do.  I was concerned for safety since were pulling over 15,000 pounds and if we drove it until it died we'd get nothing for it.  So we decided to buy a used 2015 Chevy and take on a car payment.  Not ideal but we don't want to give up on our adventure just yet.

Now we've got a newer truck with a great warranty......praying for a more peaceful journey!
