All trucks cost money to maintain. On another note is it stacked with stacks and what about the towing mirrors? Sorry had to go there. Good luck with the new truck. And lets see some pics. There is a dodge im our drive way to fwiw.

Uncle Jesse told me to spend $12,000 fixing up a new to me dually (16 years old) to pull my 5er. Did I steer myself wrong? Maybe, maybe not. A person has to do what he has to do. Good luck to you!

Yeah, it looks that way. We got the hood open and were looking at it. I just don't have the time or money right now to mess with it. It's going to have to wait until I get my Ford running again.

Enjoy the new truck bud! You don't have to say good bye though, you can still hang out with us. I'd like to think we are above shunning some body for what truck they drive. Besides, you still have your PSD

I had been in the market for a new truck for a while and my price range was in the 6.0l bracket but I did not want one because they are junk and every 7.3 I could find had either too many miles or were more worn out than my OBS.

So after doing some homework and looking pretty dam hard I found this truck it is cherry and will walk circles around my OBS it is a Laramie and has the HO Cummins with Fass fuel system Bullydog powerpup programer AFE Intake AFE aftermarket turbo 5"exhaust Valair clutch Autometer gauges 4" lift brand new rims and tires new front end and much much more.

I just could not trust my 16 year old truck anymore especially pulling my 5er with my family after doing research the cummins is the most dependable out of all the newer diesels.

FYI William the Dodge cummins hold their value better than a powerstroke believe me I know I have been shopping for months now.
I respect your decision though. =)
It's your money, use it when you need it.
