Sad day....

Well, today was a sad day, I sold my beloved 6.0 I loved the truck, but it was no longer practical for my growing family, and with the economy like it is and my wife staying at home taking care of my newborn twins, I was unable to keep it AND afford to buy another vehicle. I replaced it with an '09 Suburban LTZ 4x4, picking it up in the morning.

I have a few misc items listed in the FS section (scangauge, filters, bilsteins etc) that I kept from the truck, if anyone is interested.

Sorry to hear it is sold Scott, but your circumstances are to be celebrated! Congratulations on the family additions. Hope all are healthy and good luck to you in the new ride (even though it is from the dark side ....). You had that truck decked out pretty nice for someone!

Thanks, Mark! Yeah, I sold the truck to a 20 year old kid... I know it will not get the love n care that the 6.0 requires for a happy life.

Poor truck, it's doomed.

Congrats on the babies...

The Suburban may not be that much cheaper to operate... at $4 a gallon gas.

Did you pull the X3 off the truck? If so, how much do you want for it?
