ETC engine purchase question

[Kodiak]

I just found a new 2003 3500 SRW 2WD on a lot that had just about everything I want on a truck EXCEPT, for some reason, it has the non-HO engine.



Is there any advantage to the lower-power engine that can make me feel better about this purchase?! The price is incredibly good...

Buy it. Add a box when they get perfected. It will be fine.

please make sure it does not have the weak 47RE trans... that 47RE was built with thr SO/auto early in the year... its no good, or at least get a REALLY KILLER DEAL on it to beef up the trans before you bomb... good luck



BTY, I have a so/5-spd, and love it with a EZ, more when the TST CRmax gets here
