I am not trying to be a smart a$$, but do a search because someone posted a PowerPoint once that detailed what they do. It's not much. They basically pretty up the truck. On more rare occasions, they replace major components (e.g., engine, transmission, t-case). This was the exception, not the rule, from what I have gathered. I, myself, have had several RRAD rebuilt trucks, and I have not been impressed with many of them (I did have a really nice RRAD M934 that I mentioned in another thread on this topic). Sure, they look pretty, and have a lot of nice stuff (e.g., new tires, new seats, new windshields, new paint), but they often hide serious flaws. That could be true of any truck, but a new coat of paint on an engine, for example, gives the buyer a sense of getting something they may not be. I don't feel like going back to quote some posts I have made on this, but here are some of the problems I've seen with RRAD "rebuilt" trucks: serious valve tap (truck had a few hundred miles since RRAD got done with it...this engine had a RRAD rebuild tag), noisy accessory drive, rear engine main seal leak, seriously dented hood that they just beat out and painted, leaking radiator, electrical problems, toasted alternator, etc. These were all problems I uncovered within a short while of owning these trucks. Keith, your front oil drip is another good example. RRAD says "Build it like your life depends upon it; theirs do," or something like that. I am not so sure that is true. Other guys have had better luck, but I have not been impressed. Would I buy one again...probably...if the price was right. But, I'd go in knowing what I know...that the truck, overall, has been prettied up and may not have had anything else done to it, or not much mechanically.
