I sold my 98 12v, just got done resealing the timing cover, frt seal, side cover, replaced the power steering pump input seal, frt brakes, new set of 285 tires, replaced the rear flares and painted the bottom of the truck below the body moulding, sure looked and ran great again. Some guy asked if it was for sale, I said it could be and away it went. Diesel was just $1. 05 a gallon more that gas up here, winter is coming and it never had really good heat, so I bought the wife a 98 1500 QC short box with a 318 and a smoked 46RH to replace it. Got a third less money in it and won't have to here all the complaining about being so cold all winter. When the missus is happy everyone is happy.
