knowing that the engine needs to be replaced, I don't think i'd want to sell it to some poor soul and f*&^ing him/her over, so I'd go to the dealership.

I figure at the stealership you should be able to get between 5k-7.5k due to having 205k miles on it. Truck is in great condition as far as the body and interior...

good luck, curious to know what you get for it...

and by the way, did i call it or not on the belt!

So I took it to the dealership... The guy showed me a 33k truck and was wanting me to do a trade in for it, wouldn't give me an price on my truck until I knew I could buy the 33k truck. I then took it to carmax who then proceeded to offer me 3k for my truck... my tires and wheels alone are worth half that.

Just a question, but did you check the balance of the tires. I know from experience that anytime a vehicle front end starts to shake at 50 MPH the first check is the tires. Yes, they can become unbalanced real easy and the check is really cheap compared to replacing parts.
