Thanks for your help. I bought my 96, and brought it home yesterday. The only problems I found were the fuel gauge sender is inop, and the power door locks not working. Fixed the door locks. Switch in driver's door had lost contact. Cleaned it and installed dia electric grease. Works well, Sure feels good to drive something with TORQUE!!! Looking for an after market fuel level sender.

Hey MIKE, Good Purchase.
My son has my old 96 and now has 242,000 on it without any problems. I did the tranny at 118k. Since then, one fuel pump and one relay for the fuel shutdown. He knows about the KDP, but has not done anything yet. Gets 21mpg on the hwy at 70mph. This is one of the best packages on the road for reliability.
He had a paint issue that DC would not take care of because he was not the original owner. They would not listen to me. It was a case of wind peel on the door front leading edge and roof leading edge. He has had the truck repainted.
Edit; Mike did not see you were in Scottsmore, send me a e-mail if there is anything I can help you with.

Thanks for the reply Dave,
My 96 also has dull paint on the hood and cab roof. My son has a shop in Fort Pierce, and he will shoot it for me. This is a one owner truck, that was well taken care of. Was driving a gasser for the last three years, and looked for this truck for about two years. I'll change the filters, belt and do the transmission bands, and drive it forever! Do you know where Scotsmoor is?

Big Mike; Your just south of Oak Hill, Florida. I'm in Melbourne.
If it has high mileage, which is not a problem with the exception of the Killer Dow Pin, and you can't balance a tire, you may have a rim out. My son just put aftermarket rims on last week. He said its like a differant truck.
