500k miles on and 03-must be a texas truck

This is definitely a hot shot truck. I live in Houston and I see these all the time. Just the shear brute of a Cummins. Like Energizer, it keeps going and going and going and goin..................................Have a good one to all. Aaron

They are building those drivers seats a little better I see.

My brother in-law's '97 gasser had 78,000 miles on it when he traded it. Seats were GONE, you could see foam on the drivers side.

The body of the truck and the paint looks to be in HORRIBLE shape....no way they can get that kind of money for that truck. It would be neat to see what has been done to it. Anyone have carfax???

I wouldn't give them 1/2 that for it. Cab corner folded in, hack job for the gooseneck hitch. Not to mention it's about 160k over the average life to rebuild for the CR engines. 2 thumbs down.
