Everyone , TAKE IT EASY !!!
My only point is you cant bash the truck if you may have cause some of the issues..
The thing is the truck was bought second hand with 50K on it.....
The previous owner could have beat it to a pulp.... Also to me 9 i may be wrong) ben is not a mechanic, so issues seem overwhelming....
Ben, if you fixed it your self it would be a lot cheaper, But if you cant then with buying any used vehicle it is a crap shoot at to what your buying....
-Rear End went out ( no service, filled with water, previous owner did something stupid
-4x4 module, Poor battery replacement procedure, or faulty part
-Starter Sounds like the truck had some sort of electrical issue. maybe connected to starter
-Both back door handles broke (how does that happen?) They are plastic, kids break them all the time on owners.....
-Fog light switch Maybe abuse from the previous owner, to rough with the switch
-Back Window motor that is a common issue, I will give that
-stock stereo straight crapped out (head unit and stock sub/amp) THE WHOLE THING ??? Sounds like the previous owner had some other stuff in there and switched it out prior to sale.. That could damage electrical parts like the 4x4 and switches..
-Gas tank - You did
-Fan Clutch Could be a bad part, or from the off road stuff.....
honestly To me it sounds like the previous owner beat it to death and sold it before it died...
But they way i beat my ST, if they were problematic and junk, mine would be dead, and sooo would many more on the board..
