I dislike the truck but I love the engine. I'd never touch any vehicle near 100k miles but that is just my preference. I know the cummins runs forever, I just don't trust that many miles on anything. I like to put the miles on there

Yeah I understand that but if you can find a cummins of that year with below 100K it does more harm on a engine to sit then to run it over the years.

So when i see a car or truck with low miles under a 100K over a peirod of 12+ years I usually run. Unless you know them personally and they have started it everyweekend and drove it at least twice a month.

More things break when any car or truck sits. They were made to run not sit as a garage qween for years on end.

I am glad in a way... The f250 really appealed too me but more justifing to my wife. The 12v I just wanted because I know how good of a engine it is. And have always loved them.

Plus it is pretty cheap too bump up the torque on the all mechanic engine. Its more of a basic truck but if i want bumpers and a bigger lift and tires i can do that later my self
