Among the vehicles I'm looking at some of them do in fact say that they're having a little issues with the engine or they come with high miles and that knocks a full digit off the cost and all of a sudden we're dealing with thousands of dollars instead of anywhere from mid-teens to 20. This...

So you regret not having done the Allison six-speed I assume you're talking about not the six-speed manual? As of right now I'm actively but cautiously so I don't have any buyers or mowers looking for a new sled and some of the things I'm considering have to do with whether or not I should just...

Shopping for a new sled... Actively yet cautiously I'm not in a hurry to have buyers remorse.

I may be in a situation when I move that I may have more time than the none I have now with my current position. It is not just a move, it is a quality of life move. The idea behind agal biodiesel is to make small batches until you get your mix right. The strain always produces the same quality...

Perhaps I was a little overpowering. Let me break that down. 1. 3rd generation trucks that have 200 to 300,000 mi on them are still pretty expensive considering everything else that needs doing on them. Industrial injection will give you a nicely built long block for around 8,000. I haven't...

I have been doing a bit more shopping and I must say these trucks really retain their value. The cost of a 2007 is equal to or greater than what I paid for my 2004.5 over 12 years ago and the cost of a 2004 or 2005 can get up there too. One thing I have been noticing especially up around my...

Sorry for the late response, but since I'm looking for a third gen it looks like the mid-year 2007 introduced the 6.7. As I understand it's a bit more difficult to delete some of the emissions stuff was also the first year that they introduced that engine and the last year for that generation of...

Again good information. When you're looking for a 20-year-old truck you don't just go shopping for one and come back with it that weekend it has to check some boxes for you in other words you have to be ready to get it when you meet the right lady. I was keen on getting a larger fuel tank for...

Considering my vehicle will be more of a daily driver as well as something I intend to add a bit of performance to I wonder if I should stick with the 2500. Extra spring means extra stiff suspension and if I want the tail end of the truck to stay up I can always just put some airbags in. I just...

I hear you. Thank you for the information. To be clear but I meant to say is due to how hard I'm working and how much of my financial resources are going into preparing my house and the logistics involved with moving I don't intend to take on a project until after I move. I hear what you're...

All excellent points. The damage is done they weren't going to give me what my vehicle was worth but I was able to haggle with them to get them to raise the cost of the buyout. I decided not to opt for the salvage for two reasons one I'm moving across the country and I work like a crazy person...

Just searching really quick on 3rd gen good years, the internet said 2006 and 2007 were less advisable years. Why would it say that? I was keen on trying to find the right megacab.

$2k buyback, $8k payout minus $1k deductable. I have always wanted a megacab actually. Plus the cargo bed needs changed before paint and she has been kind of a money pit. I am talking them up on a few more things and letting it go. I can't drag it from FL to MT. I will keep all the Edge Gear...

Received and thank you sir.

I guess we'll call that one lessons learned. It was also recommended to me that when I make upgrades to my vehicle to report it to insurance right away. And that's going to have to be the route that I go considering I just don't like newer trucks. At any rate I was able to wear them down a...
