If you could do it over again
If you could do it over again
Knowing what you know now, if you could do it over again - what would you do???
I really like my truck - 8500+ lb truck that gets 20 MPG is great.
But if I could do it over again I think I would go with the 6 speed and a 4.10 rear because of the E-brake issues. I bought the truck with towing in mind and all the lit said an E-brake would be available, now we know better. Other then that, I would keep it the same.
What say ye....

Re:If you could do it over again
That's a great question.
1. Woulda got a 6 spd.
2. Woulda got a while Dually.
3......I THINK MY WIFE IS GETTING THE ABOVE FOR ME FOR CHRISTMAS!! 8)
I keep telling her I want to upgrade the tranny (ATS) and get some power mods...she asked me the price...she said why not just get a new truck....anyway, she's got some top secret stuff going on and I really think she's working on a new rig for me. We'll see. She said I'd be VERY surprised

SRW 3500, not 2500
probably not silver, just too many of them out there...
aluminum wheels, can't stand these chrome steelies :-X
would'a got my Rhino sprayed somewhere else
would love to have dual climate control, but don't really want the rest of the "package"
and I go back and forth about wishing I had the 4.10 so it wouldn't be a mileage or power hit to put on the 315s

Re:If you could do it over again
1) Would at least considered a 3500
2) Would have tried to negotiate to get the trailer mirrors
Wish I could have gotten a dually but I am pushing it with the truck as it stands. Our company is very conservative and likes very plain vanilla vehicles. Oh well, soon as it is paid for I am going to add the training wheels, park it and get another company car to put boring miles on.

Soo many would go for the six speed. And white dually. Wow, are you telling me I did something right the first time - - for the first time in my life? :P 8)

ps: I would repeat exactly the same - - just wish we could get some nice captain's seats like the other guys.

Would have got a 4X4. That's what I really wanted but I was being *practical* this time and said I didn't need a 4X4. Actually I don't but it's still what I wanted...the mileage sucks so bad on this 4X2 that I might as well have gotten the 4X4. At least then I could have said "Oh well, it's got the front differential engaged so what would I expect?"
Otherwise the truck is awesome. And I got it for a great price too. Hard to beat $24900.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

Re:If you could do it over again
Would get exactly the same except add the e-brake. As Rob said, would love to get the dual climate control but do not want the rest of that expensive package.
Re:If you could do it over again
I would have held off for an '04 as they are all HO's. I don't mind my SO, but now I feel the need for MORE power! And I would have gotten the aluminum wheels, these chrome wheel skins are lame :
