Just my 2 cents, but nope noda never. Smelly nosiy rattle cans. That said you are prob much younger than me and like that stuff. The 95 would have to be mint.

Love the smell of diesel but can't justify paying 3 times more for parts if something needed to be replace. For what I use my truck, the 360 has plenty of torque I need.

How many miles are on your truck if its over 100k, I would be all over that trade, mileage on the 96 is alot for the body, most suspension and stuff should have been replaced by now and possibly on its second go around.

I personally like the older interior better, and genos cupholder will be a nice addition and take care of stock holder, seeing how mine isnt in my truck and it never bothers me

But yea, 4x4 12 valve, for 2 wheeler that is no down grade.

See, thats the thing too. I have no doubt that there is some things that need to be worked on on it, but I have done SO much to my gasser, it almost seems pointless to start completely over. ... Maybe im in over my head lol. It is a farm truck, and been through hell and back. I am also in the process of buying a house, so anytime soon would not be a good idea thanks for the input guys

Later down the road, a diesel may be considered...
