If you like the truck then it is only worth what you are willing to pay some people like to low ball on prices others look at what has been done and account for that within there price .

I paid 6K for mine and have put 3K into it so far, with a bunch left to go, but I wouldn't sell it for a penny less than 13K. Perfect interior, almost perfect outside. It's a keeper.

I love my truck!!!!

Thanks for everyone's advice. I drove it around shifted good. A liitle slugish, but I drive 24v all day at work. I could have talked the guy down to 7600, but I decided aginst it. I really want a 5sp

Why can't there ever be any nice early cummins with manuals in my town , all I ever find are autos. O well the wait continues

What is it with all the hate toward auto's here, i've owned a done up 2000 cummins with 450hp with a built auto and I would never trade it for a stick. Those guys are so slow, I easily pull away from similarly built manuals.

Though I do agree alot of stock auto trannies suck, I have burnt up a few in my wheeling trucks, but once their built right they kick ***.

It's the lousy stock torque converter. Fix that and it's a whole different story.

I think thats not to much. if the auto goes you can upgrade or go manual NV4500 its not hard. About the same $$$ as a built auto.
