Well......

I guess there's still a market for 6.0's that have been "fixed" for shoppers that know what they are looking for.

Long story short after all my recent work , I put a "feeler" add on Craigslist to test my assumed value of my reworked truck . Put the add up next day the first guy that looked at it wrote me a check for the asking price which was about a $8k profit after deducting the recent work I did and my payoff.

As most will say when they are posting their "Thank You" threads I really did love the truck after I got it right , but at the end of the day it just wasn't enough for me to feel comfortable and I still found myself sleeping with one eye open and waiting for the other foot to fall.

You guys are awesome !!!!! All the best and keep fighting the good fight. I'm now shopping for "something"..... It will be gas as again beside the sick power of the diesel I really don't haul enough to warrant the issues you take on to own one !!!!

Happy New Years fellas !!!! It's been real and couldn't have got here without all the knowledge and skills I gleaned from y'all and this site !

Don't be a stranger to the site now that you have no diesel to talk about.

Well ........

Now you can get another one, fix it in half the time, and sell another awesome 6.0!

Happy New Year.

Don't be a stranger, unless you get a Dummins.

I hate to hear you sold it, but I completely understand how expensive a PSD is to maintain if your not using it to it's fullest potential. I'll echo the good luck on the next truck.

The same goes for one of those Duracraps or Come-a-parts.

Thanks for all of your help in the past. Your knowledge from past trials and tribulations on the 6.0 can still be of use around here!!
