i liked the rims
i would love to have 4wd but i have made it thus far without it... surely there are advantages somewhere of not having 4wd...right?
i didnt even look to see if was automatic or manual...guess i will do that this evening.
really???
anyway, the third gens are really strong, the 5.9 and the 6.7, however the 6.7 has a lot of extra emmisions stuff on them which really makes the fuel milage suffer, but there are programmers avalible to "delete" most of that crap, and get the milage back, my personal prefrence would be the 5.9 with the manual, these cummins seem to have a very large appitite for auto transmissions.

Personal opinion, if you like them then that's all that counts
Not really what I'd call advantages. I suppose the truck would get slightly better fuel mileage because being a couple hundred pounds lighter due to not having a transfer case and being lower to the ground than a 4x4, and if you decide to re-gear it, (which is highly unlikely because it's foolish to lift a 2wd truck high enough that you'd get big enough tires to require a re-gear, especially in a diesel truck) you'd only have to re-gear one differential, and then there's always the chance of having a problem with your transfer case, which will not be a chore with a 2wd.
It was a 6 speed manual. Said so right on the window

But I love the p-pump. And 100% mechanical isn't a downside really. I just like to stack electronics

i would def go for a diesel. and a 6speed manual. 4x4 is an option, if you dont need it now will you need it in the future. now the question i would ask for on the white diesel, is do you really need a dually? do you tow that much? those things suck to park. or get around basic everyday city driving in. only plus side to a dually is beffier axle, but that wont be a problem with a 2500 either. and thats also two extra tires to be buying when it comes time.

very true...but i dont know if i will find a 2500 for that price...i have him down to 14200. i do alot of hauling in the spring and summer and dont mind the parking. buying two extra tires is a downside...but 6 street tires compared to 4 oversized mudders is probably about the same price...lol.
