2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission A sad day

[CThomsen]

Watched my 97 leave my driveway for the last time today. It only had 220k miles and I'd owned it since 2001. With 4 kids it just wasn't being used-only 4k last year and it was starting to get a little rust. I regally love my 13 but I will definitely miss the old loud smokey 97.

Well, you can't hang on to them for ever. I'm sure the 13 is much nicer than the old 97.

Yours left, with any luck my old 97 might be returning back soon ! Have a very interested party coming to look the 2003 over tomorrow !

It was a sad day as well when my '01 left. I sold it to a guy who lived 2.5 hours away on purpose...didn't want to see it around town. About a year later, it turned back up in my hometown where the new owner added a bunch of tasteless bolt ons...drives me nuts what some people will do to a perfectly good truck. Too bad I don't have a 13 model to ease the pain.

It was hard to sell my 1997, even though I liked the 2004 real well. OTOH, the 2013 is so great, I wouldn't go back. I just wish the greenie socialists hadn't taken over and "given" me a $5000 exhaust system.

Finally someone that is on the same path as I, I would buy a new truck if the CRAP EXHAUST was gone!!! and that's not going to happen, so my O4.5 works just fine.

I felt pretty guilty and uneasy watching mine drive away....... I kept it quite nice, waxed and clean most of the time, in great shape for a 14 year old truck..........I sold it to a concrete contractor, who was going to let his laborers drive it into the ground. I'm not worthy..............
