I was thinking that too. I have to go pick up a suit from the tailor next week around that way if you want me to see if I can track it down.

Yea, well let me see if I can figure out if it's BS or not. Hate for you to go through the trouble. Awful low price for that truck....somethings up lol.

JP, you could make a quick 10 flipping it...If everything is right...flood victim maybe ?

Well checked it out, best I can anyway. Can't find anything on it without communicating with the owner. Not what I'm looking for, plenty of power, but really need more payload, but it's easy money to flip that one if in need. I imagine it will be gone quickly...those miles! An easy sell. I'll run it by my kid...she may be interested in making a few bucks..if you don't feel like it lol. If so, I'll back her on that one, contact the owner for the part of the story that hasn't been revealed...yet lol.

Loaded trucks like that usually don't have much of a payload for a 3/4T. Which is why I'm going 350 Supercab...much more versatility. The model years I'm looking all have the power, but payload ? The larger beds are nice, but only when in need. DD comfort is a factor..more so, specially if you have a utility trailer or can rent one when in need. This is how I narrowed it down to the perfect truck available....one I can get the most use out of.

Haha, nope, it gets's down to freezing at night but 40's during the day, 50's next week. I was hoping for warmer, have to do wheel bearings on a G6 and service the truck next week out at my kids place. Heated garage, but still, would rather work outside. Calling for a lot of rain next week though.

It had been that warm this last week until last night when the temp dropped and snow started to fall lol... supposed to be highs in the 50s and lows in the 40s starting Monday and into the foreseeable future.

Checked weather.com and it looks like Indiana is ahead of you guys in the snow...keep an eye on that system; if it sticks around it'll be hitting MI in a couple of days.

I hear that... we were only supposed to get 2" and currently have 7" and still falling. Shadow has been enjoying every second of it. May bundle back up with ski goggles and take him for another walk. Current state is heavy snowstorm/light blizzard... can't hardly see more than 25ft away
