Part 4/11:
A significant portion of the update focuses on the recent acquisition and maintenance of a new truck, affectionately dubbed "Big Dog." Standing nearly to the narrator’s shoulders, this massive vehicle has been brought home for the weekend, but it’s still a work in progress.
The truck, a 2012 model, initially suffered from damage due to theft and misuse by a previous owner who cut off catalytic converters and caused dents. Despite this, the vehicle’s core remains strong with a robust 70,573 miles. Major repairs have been undertaken, including new brakes all around, a transmission fan, and a thorough fluid change.
