I have a 2006 duramax 3/4. I either need to dump some money into it or sell and buy another... It needs 2 front wheel hubs and the torque converter done. Other than that, the truck is getting pretty rusty... I won't put a new box or 1/4 pannels on it.. the cost just couldn't make sense. Truck has 300,000km's on the orignal injectors. So part of me is thinking why dump 2grand into it right now just to have to do the injectors in it within a couple years...
So I'm sort of shopping...
I don't buy new... And I don't buy anything that hasn't lost a lot of value through depcriaition. Hope I explain that well. For example, I bought a 2008 duramax back in 2012 for 25,000$.
My requirements for a truck are
- 1 ton single rear wheel preffered, but will do 3/4.
-crew cab
-long box
-not spending more than 25,000$.
-I'd rather a GMC....
From looking around on line, its difficult to get long box crew cab's... Seems that whats out there for long box crew cabs are dodge's.... Fucking hate dodge's... I got screwed over buying a brand new dodge truck once.. So I turned my back on them... But maybe its time to reconsider Dodge.
What's the 5.7 and 6.4 hemi's like?
I keep reading the 6.4L really gets bogged down towing over 7,000lbs.
My memory tells me the 5.7 had lots of lifter failures, which is an expensive repair. 6.4 hemi's have the same issues?
Is there years to avoid dodge trucks all together?
any input would be appriciated
