Considering a new-to-me TV
I have about 10 years until I retire. At that point I plan on getting a newer TV and a TT. Until then I am planning on getting a new-to-me TV.
Today I tow my 6,500b 2009 Starcraft 241RKS with a 1996 C1500 5.7L 1/2 ton with a 3/42 rear end. The truck does fine but I would like some more power and a better chassis. My 20 year old truck has 187,000 miles in which the engine and transmission was replaced 40k miles ago. I have had one brake line blow out and others have corrosion on it. The truck has some issues which are minor like paint and seat motors that need attention.
After test driving chevy 1/2 tons I am looking at getting a 2006-2008 C2500 with the Duramax/Allison combo. Its been 18 years since buying a truck and I already have buyers remorse. ;)
My goal is to find a a truck that will give me 10 years good service, who knows maybe I will keep it through retirement for a while.
I am finding this truck with less than 150,000 miles for a good price. Does anybody have any advice or experience with this vintage, mechanically etc?
Thank you
