i bought my 95 1500 5.9 4x4 with 186K. had 4.10 gears installed, new beefed up tranny, fuel pump, radiator, and wheel bearings
ive put in a port an polished modded intake with hughes plenum, intake/valve cover gaskets, plugs wires, coil, cap/rotor, shackles, all the suspension, exhaust, ball joints, fluid changes for everything, water pump, fan clutch, thermostat, door/rocker body work (rest of the truck has no rust), wiring problem figured out, starter, belt, and now i need to do the front u-joints.
its at 197K runs perfect, 4x4 works perfect (except for bad ujoint) and she gets 13-14 city, and 17-18 highway(if i set CC to 70)
I love the truck, its my DD, i put about 800 miles on her a week, and gas is really not a big factor. i get about 350 miles per tank doing 20% highway 80% city on a 26 gallon tank.
and i like my 4x4ing, so i do off roading a bit
and i got my truck for only 1800....so deals are out there make sure your not paying to much.
