Default new to me truck

hey guys i just ditched my gasser for a 99 cummins 4x4 with 315/75/r16s 3" lift new tranny 4.56s and a supposedly rebuilt engine. The clock reads 235k but she runs like a champ!

No 53 block
the trans is new but is stock specs i'm sure
I only paid $5500 for it

I love it so much I will never own a gasser again! I ordered the FASS DDRP cuz I know how horrible these fuel systems are.

and there is a little rust to take care of but I couldn't argue with the price.

wish me luck guys!

Be careful towing heavy loads or upping the power with mods.
