A buddy of mine stopped and looked at a 94 2500 dodge 4x4 that was real rusty and had about 150,000 miles on it. The guy wanted $4800 for it. My buddy asked hm why so much and his only responce was that it had a cummins in it and that it was worth it just for that lol. I told my buddy to find a good IDI and have more for less lol. After the trip to go get the other bronco and plow I bought he is thinking about an 6.9 IDI.

my only question is what type of brake job costs over a 1000 bucks. I know labor prices are high but holy cow. are the pads made of gold!

We just had a woman at work pay $1600 for a brake job. She had every thing replaced front to rear.

it's cheaper for a lot of folks to just get a new truck sooner.local ford garage here= $75 hr!
add the parts/markup to boot onto labor,and you can have more wasted $ before you know it.
i feel bad for people who can't work on their own rigs.
