2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Any 2wd 12 valve owners near Los Angeles?

[BLottman]

Howdy,



I'm new here and lacking the most important thing that causes most folks to want to be a member of TDR (check my signature). I'm looking to buy a 12 valve. I currently drive an old Toyota pickup and am used to small trucks. The new truck will be my daily driver and only form of transportation so this is going to be a pretty big change and one I'm going to need to be happy with.



Unfortunately, I've never driven one. I sat in the passenger seat on a day trip in a friends 1995 4wd almost 10 years ago. That's all the seat time I've got. Everything I'm finding for sale is going to require flying out of state to even look at. Before I make that kind of commitment it would sure be helpful to have some more experience with these trucks.



Are there any TDR members with a 2wd 12 valve 2500 near me that would be willing to let me take a look at their truck? Even a short ride in the passenger seat and a look under the hood would tell me a lot about what they should sound & feel like.



If you've got a few minutes and interested in helping a newb out, PM me. I'm in Torrance, CA and willing to drive up to an hour away.



Thanks,



Brent

Brent,

Welcome and the only thing I can offer you since I am on the other coast is this. You have joined a great group of owners who I have seen go to greater lengths to help each other than ones mind can comprehend. Remember this as you surf for your dream ride,you have over 25,000 friends here and that gives you alot of eyes,ears and opinions to aid you in your search. This will help you widen the spectrum of your search and may help you get a touch more truck for the money you wish to spend. I know its not much but happy hunting... ... ... . Andy



P. S. -You may want to start here in our classifieds as many guys have been stepping up for the new 3rd gens and their old rides usually find happy homes through there.

Brent,



I was in Torrance about a week ago delivering a trailer to the USC med center. The company I work for has a storage yard in Perris so I am in the area pretty often. PM me with your number, if you want, and I'll give you a call the next time I am out there.
