A buddy of mine just bought a 96 1 ton dually extended cab 4x4 five speed for 9700 bucks. I told him he got a good deal. was I right? Oh by the way it has 120,000 miles on it. I wish I had the extra money laying around for it.

 

I would say he got a good deal if everything check out ok. If it has never been tampered with then he's very lucky. What plans does he have for the truck?

 

the truck has never been messed with. It belonged to a guy I worked with who just drove it back and forth to work. He will be working it on the farm. Hauling hay,cows and stuff. He said it is staying stock.

 

Did you look at him a laugh

 

About what? Staying stock?

 

Hahahaha.... Staying stock! That would be nice but isnt going to happen. Tell your buddy good luck with the new used truck.

 

I dont think it will take long to change his mind about staying stock.

 

My truck is a work truck and nothing else, stock just dosn't cut a 40' full of hay or a 36' full of cattle.

 

He will learn real quick.Im sure of it.

 

If he loads it down while stock he will hate himself, 4th does nothing. Talk him out of doing that. I see a 10 plate and governor spring kit in the near future ..

 

I am sure I will be asking all you 12 valve guys questions. I know very little about them. His brother and I both have 24 valves.

 

yeah you will first ask what to do to power up his then you'll ask where you and your brother can get 12v's yourselves.......JK and ask away

 

Nah, I like being able to hit a button and going back to stock if I want.

 

yeah i can see the + side of that power at the flip of a switch....... at least you'lll get the experence of working on a 12v right hahahaha have fun

 

Exactly. I am sure it will be a lot of fun actually turning wrenches to make power instead of plugging in some wires. I hope he decides to change his mind soon so I can see what a 12 valve will really do.
