Trading in with mods

If i were going to trade my truck in within 3 years will my value go down faster if i put mods on my truck? Should i leave it with just my exhaust if i want to get a new 6.4 in a few years?

Don't trade it, keep it. Nothing wrong with the 6.0L

I dont think you get your money out of the mods if you trade early, in fact it probably erodes the price a bit for performance mods and lifts. Of course, it might be the thing that seals the deal for a buyer. My last truck had several useful mods like driving lights, box liner, canopy, switches ect, trailer and camper power plugs ect. I got lots on trade for mine.

Most likely you won't til their released either. With the ammount of info I have seen so far on the emissions equipment (available for reading in the 6.4 thread)and what it takes to make it work, it will be less than the 6.0. Probably the ammount of difference between the 7.3-6.0.

I've got the same rules, caught an employee of mine standing on the rim to reach over the dually fender to get something out of the back and I all but about lost it. Needless to say he scratched the rim and I had a terets momment with a few choice words spilling out uncontrolably.

Problem is I've known the guy for 16 years or better, what I really wanted to do is polish the rim out with his damn head, but didn't want to go to jail either. lol
