My '96 2500 Overhaul

I found 2 cars I want in the mid west and I can't even trust the truck to get there and back. I guess I know what I have to do this weekend (spend more time on this truck). Ugh
It's a shame. The truck has tons of power for pulling up hills. Granted, coolant temps rise about 20 degrees on some of the longer and steeper inclines, but it still pulls. I would just live an extra 250 ft-lb of torque to climb those inclines with ease. Right now we're screaming at 3500 rpms in 3rd to get up these things with redline being 4500. That can't be good for the longevity of this engine (even though it has new bearings and oil pump).
It's kinda funny, I'm pretty sure I mention to buy a cummins on like the first three pages of this thread, now here it is 30 pages later and $22k in the hole, and everyone jumping on the diesel bandwagon. Lol
Seriously though you will have so much more power and at least double the fuel mileage by switching to a cummins.

new cummins dually with warranty, yes please.
Welp, go to the dealer trade in your V10, tell them you got $22k in it, and laugh your *** off when they offer $3k trade in value and buy you a nice dually.
I liked the look of the ones HeyYou referenced, as well as the thigh extension, adjustable headrest, lumbar and such. My daily commute is about 10 blocks, but I drive to Austin on state busines about three times a month, 200 miles each way - so a lot of highway miles (but probably not as many as you book). I am in late 50's, Yota is primary ride, and just want somehting more co=mfortable that OEM seats. Fabric is getting worn (275,000 miles) and needs replaced, but I think I would rather upgrade seats. Gotta be something comfortable.
PM me with what you recommend of may have available. Yota is black with grey interior and blue fabric on seats. Black seaats would work great. Front seat is 60/40 as is. Buckets would be fine (I normally ride alone) but must move forward enough to allow someone on rare occasion to access back (xtended cab - as extended as a Tacoma (96 4x4) can be!)
Still - damn nice looking truck. I would keep it even if I bought the new one (my wife doesn't complain too much about how many vehicles i have out back)
