TikToker Caylee Penderass just proved that even the most “cursed” vehicle can be saved, after she bought a broken Ford Powerstroke truck for just $2,000 and then spent a brutal two weeks and another $2,500 in parts to bring it back to life. Penderass, who documented the whole painful experience in a viral video, didn’t call it a loss when she found out why the old Ford was so cheap; instead, she rolled up her sleeves and dove headfirst into fixing one of the most frustrating diesel engines you can work on.
This is awful for anyone who thinks a $2,000 truck is going to be a quick, easy flip, but to be fair, you have to respect the sheer willpower of getting this job done yourself. At the start of the video, she jokes about her gamble, “I just doubled the reliability of my old Ford truck with one single part. It’s a key to another old Ford truck. I figured if this works half the time and this works half the time, I have one good truck.”
