retail is 18k private party is is 15k. i am guessing it is a work truck dues to the flat black bumper.

 

 

You'd be correct, its the base work truck model with no power options.

 

if he put in the ogm-1 it is worth it... lol

 

 

I thought he would have put a killer sound system or at least head unit in this thing but no, stock radio (and assuming speakers) based on earlier pictures.

 

Be ready for the 'Cats Nov. 3 Cowboys!!

 

 

Oh we'll be ready!! But seriously Klein is looking even better this year, and I believe that the Big 12 is going to be left up to you guys or Western Virginia (And for the love of god I hope they burn, still bitter about Holgerson but worked out best for us.)

 

Found an earlier post from him - http://stillwater.cr...3246476765.html

Yep 2wd. I know.
:rollin: Least of your worries dude....

 

I've contemplated giving him a call for a test drive just to see how bad it is, but i'd probably just end up making the kid cry and it would be awkward for everybody.

i wonder why he would dump that much money into that truck... at least we know that it has never been offroad... i bet it couldnt even spin those tires in wet grass

besides the fact that it has the stupidest rims in this world on it..... i hate rock stars

I don't think there are many people in the market looking for a lifted 2wd truck. No point in lifting a 2wd othen than looks and deception. Good luck selling it though.

 

Not that im defending the guy but I see no problem lifting a few inches so I can go through some of the cross ditches I encounter on the mountain trails when im hunting. Sometimes I wish I had 2-3 extra inches for those. You don't HAVE to have a 4wd to go off road or through some mud.

 

His truck is ridiculous and obviously a "highway princess"

there is a difference in putting level kit on a 2wd to help with clearance like you just mentioned. But there is not need to all out like that in a 2wd truck. I know some people do it for looks, but its not for me to make a truck look functional and not actually be.

Its a nice looking truck!! I would say just be a little more negotioable with price and it should go.. The worst part i would say is the 2wd part, Regearing would be a huge help with the v6 and big tires..

V6? I'm curious if it was regeared...otherwise it goes 0-60 in what....4.3 days???

$20K? I think not.

 

 

ROFLAO!!!

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
