OP has dropped us like a bad habit, so guessing he’s either got bolts and parts laying everywhere now, or has decided his eyes were bigger than his tummy.
Valhalla is right, although current market for vehicles is definitely skewed from what we’re used to. Speaking for the average person who isn’t super keen and motivated with vehicle projects, the money is generally best spent on something that is capable and not almost a classic vehicle to have a good towing and life experience.
I'd have to agree with every word here, I have a lot of time invested in some very nitpicky things on a lot of my cars that the average guy would never entertain. I also didn't realized OP had dipped out. Cummins swaps on these trucks are not for the faint of heart. Same goes for a Duramax swap. I figure I can buy a lot of gasoline for the cost of the swap.
