Chevy 8.1 truck with low miles?
This is not a for sale add, not my truck and don’t even know the guy, but for anyone looking, there’s one with 70kmiles for sale on Seattle Craigslist right now. Ext cab 4wd. Not many of these aroun...

Grit posted a good find for someone in the market.
Lot to be said for the old 8.1 gasser. May not compare to the new rigs in many ways but probably a good balance of remaining life, ability, entry cost, and opex. I'd be willing to guess that the old 8.1 has fewer computer chip/electronic parts to fail like happened on my 2009 2500HD with Duramax at about 120k....the iron is fine, but engine and tranny electronics all took a hike within about a 6-month period (8 - 12 different failures, one at -20 that convinced me to drop serious coin for a new rig).
