Duramaxipads are one of the worst diesel engines you can get


Worst reliability pain in the dick to work on and least power ratings

Just been looking to get a new truck. Always loved the king ranch interior

This is my current truck...

If you give me an asian price I will get it off your hands and replace the F250 at our company.

It's not that you fear blowing up. You fear the $10k rebuilds.

NA is fun and has its place, but you pay to play dearly on this platform when boosted AND you drive your car hard, track it, etc.

KBB is still 11.5 in "poor" id let it go for 9 because of the minor body damage and little issues it has.(power locks dont work on rear doors from the remote and power mirrors dont work) Let me know.

With or without the chip in it. I can sell it either way.

new injectors, water pump, belts, some toher stuff i forget 45k ago, just put on new shocks and steering stabilizer and all fresh fluids. new front springs 20k ago. new high pressure oil lines at the same time due to a leaking seal (also replaced IPR) all new filters (oil, fuel, trans, air) Tie rods and brakes just done in the spring.
Truck has gauges, intake, chip with custom tunes, and 4" turbo back exhaust. fuel rail crossover, and oil line crossover.

XLT trim package with power windows, power locks, cruise control, manual 4x4 shifter (4x4 works perfect) and 6k HID bulbs in the headlights.

any questions just ask.

Not all trucks are meant to carry stuff

Just got back from england. Driving on the right side in a manual through a traffic circle was pretty intense. Then I came home and forgot how to drive regular. Im in shambles. Oh and I had to rent a toyota Yaris. What a POS. Lawn mowers have more HP.

It took me a few mins but I finally caught up to what has been going on. I will haev to say the Alberto's comment about if I told you your life is worthless was the one that made me laugh the most. Followed by the thought of shin tripping on a treadmill. I forget who posted that one. Imso glad the Mid A has picked up again.
