The pickup has the 5.7L and about 163K miles. It needs tires, has just a little rust, but otherwise isn't too bad. It's also an extended cab 4x4, which is more desirable around here. It doesn't leak anywhere.
It has started to miss a lot in the last couple weeks. Sometimes (after it warms up) the miss isn't bad and it runs almost normal. Other times it misses bad.
