Freinds in Firewood,
I used to drive as a part of my job. A lot. 300miles a day in a Corolla. I put 275k on in 4.5 years.
So my wife gave me the carrot of if I get off the road, I can get a truck. I got off the road last Jan. for many reasons but she's really come close to renege'ing on the truck bargain.
Well, she's finally thawing on the kind of truck that I want.
I've been really focused on a 3/4 ton Chevy/GMC duramax diesel crew cab & have done some research to know what to look for and what good years there might be ('04 & up seems to be the way to go)
But I saw a local ad for a 2004 Harley Davidson Edition Ford 1 ton Powerstroke SRW crew cab with 104k on the clock and the price is pretty do-able for me.
I've tried to do a little internet research but don't have much other than some website talking about a group trying to get a class-action lawsuit organized about Powerstroke diesel engine problems in the '03-'07 model years.
Do I run away screaming from this?
I welcome your ideas.
Sharp chains! :greenchainsaw:
