Prepare for rambling!
I like the new suspension and really need/want a crew cab fairly often. Although not having a CC has led to my 04 only having 72k on it so far... :rofl: Can't make up my mind... Because I really do like my 04. It could use head gaskets and studs, still pressurizes the coolant and pushes a bit out if I fill it full but it's done that since 30k and never gotten worse so I've never fixed it. Trans could use built, does limp more easily on the 5-4 downshift lately under full power. No reason I can't keep driving it the way it is though, and a paid for truck is nice... Plus I put new 18s and tires on it a while back and couldn't put those on the new one. Well the wheels anyway, the tires I could, all the 12s I am interested in have 18 inch wheels. A new truck would have the CC I want, better suspension, and more power than my LLY unless I build the trans and bump my tune up. Payments, and possible shitting itself on the DEF deal would be downsides. Bigass long thread about the terrors of the regen cycle over on derpelplazen that kinda worries me. I don't drive far/long enough for the regen cycle a lot of the time from what they describe. Although H&S isn't that far from here. Maybe I should just post it for sale on here for someone that wants to build a race truck or something? Thought about keeping it and putting a flatbed with the welder and stuff on it, but too nice a truck to do that to it really.
