12v or 24v that is the question?

[MWilt]

if you had a choice to buy a used 24v or a 12v and they both had the same miles(100,000) which would you buy a why??? and would you take a 12v auto over a 24v manual?????



say you would also only pay for one up to 20,000

I would say a 12 valve, you won't have all the electronics to deal with.

I'd also take the 12 valve and take the money ya saved and upgrade the auto.

keep them coming guys, convince me so i can go and get a truck!!!



is it worth getting the 12v even if it has a auto, when i could get a 24v manual???? i would only be towing max 12,000 once in a blue moon

Sure, I pull anywhere from 8-15k, but is mostly seasonal, and most of it is under 40mph (farm implements or very short distances mostly). The truck doesn't care, the only exception would be torque convertor lock-up clutch. I can slip it ( only if I'm not watching it) with only having the mods. listed in my sig.



Planning on getting a BOMBed transmission and a plate for the pump when the truck is paid for (should be by Christmas, if not before Oo. Oo. ).
