Thank you all! It's interesting how the 3VZE is viewed. It seems they are either bulletproof or time bombs, with not much in between. Here's hoping this one leans more toward the former than the latter!
A couple notes:
-Glad to hear the consensus that there are a few MPG's left in it. Now if I could just remember to order the sensor...
-The (PO installed (I've used some choice words in their direction)) fender flares do hide the only noteworthy rust on this truck, in the rear doglegs. On the project list for after winter.
-The e-brake works fine, the fluid was slightly low. I'm an idiot. THe pedal has good pressure so I don't think there is a leak, but I'll be keeping an eye on it. In the meantime, no more warning light!
Also a few more pictures recently:

As usual, I am incapable of taking a direct route to anywhere. Took these on my way home from a company holiday party in Manchester, NH today.

Speaking of snow... we are getting our first real dose of it in the Northeast and I happened to have the day off. You know what that means.. more pictures. Sorry not sorry. laugh
And finally, re-fueled with the ideal cold weather comfort food - a Green Mountain Coffee Maple Supreme and poutine.
