I am a Ford guy but that 6.0 is a great motor. Brother in law has a 2007 and he hauled a 6x12 dump trailer with about 6 cord of maple in it up a steep hill out of the woods with a 4 wheeler in the bed. I stopped on the hill with my truck and the dash thingy said 15 degree hill! Made me a believer.
Not sure how you all do things down south that far lol. Up in these part 150k is just getting started. The 6.0 is an excellent motor. The main thing that goes wrong is the water pump (I have a brand new one here if you ever need it
). That truck is a fair price if everything checks out on it. I would run a car fax if I was spending that much on it. I'm not sure, but the body line looks to be opening up between the bed and the cab on the top looking from the driver's side. Normally that is caused by a tweaked frame from plowing.
Agreed Cody.

You better have someone who knows these trucks look that thing over.
... where?... out down the valley road to the forest dept clearing section? no... up topside scrounge mountain, 90 miles drive trailer, saws and vans... crew? no... out in the forest other side of the lake? no... where you say? why right next door, actually across the street! imo, homerun stuff... 20 mins later after finding this scrounge and the limbs lying in neighbor's front yard (removed with persmission) cost to scrounge: $0.00! fuels used: $0.00. gasoline to scrounge area: $0.00. time to service and resharpen saws: 0.00! all in all... my kinda scrounge! so u can see it in my 10 cu ft dual wheel wheelbarrow. I consider it a pretty good 'gimmie'... since it will get 5-6 camp fires going for me... and then some oak stix splits, chunks after that for some nice warm heat... on these very warm 90F days... lol

Do you have to do emissions testing. The 6.0 has a lot of CELs that pop up for random misfire, that are very difficult to eliminate. That being said if you don't have to do emissions testing they just keep on running just like you've heard CELs or not. Also it should be equipped with the Allison trans which is just as bullet proof as the engine.
Some of the things that go wrong on this body style are the dash cluster., it's electronic and the step motors go out, or flake out, I have a guy here who rebuilds and certifies them for $125 includes replacing all step motors and all lights in the cluster. The resistor goes out for the heat and the heat will only blow on hi or low, not 2 or 3. They only get about 10-12mpg, but they do that no matter what you are pulling.
I don't like mods on the stuff I buy, but you can find stock exhaust from the diesels, I may have one I can get from the cat back for 1oo that is in very good condition. You better not have to do emissions testing with those mods or you will be in trouble.
They do not come close to a diesel but will still get the job done.
I have a buddy I haven't seen in yrs who is a mechanic down in Indy, I can get in touch with if you need something inspected, he may also know where some deals are.
Here's one right by you that has 228k on it.View attachment 507344
I liked the crew cab, but hated the milage. Wouldn't mind having mine back if it was a 4x4. Mine was from Louisiana and had no rust just a nice layer of red clay undercoating lol.

I found it last night.
), will have had to been changed out to recognize max possible gains in hp/torque. Between the three I would guess you could see gains in hp ranging from 20hp to 40hp. Without knowing what fresh air intake, headers, and cam(and how it was timed advanced or standard) there is now way to predict the outcome and even then it is subject to many variables in the engine and the rest of the exhaust.
I found it last night.
I like stock parts rather than the after market for reliability. I don't do as many mods on my vehicles these days because many of the after market parts are of lower quality and will require more frequent maintenance and I would rather not work on my vehicles if I don't have to(little lazy, little bit I don't like to get dirty LOL). with a long tube header it will typically raise the max hp/torque and it also raises the rpm at which those # come. So if it has 300hp stock it may increase the hp to 310(may lol) and if the 300 hp was previously at 4000 rpm then the long tube headers the 310 hp may be a bit higher like 4250 rpm.
The cam could have the similar effects. The air intake(looks like it has a K&N on it
One of the downfalls of separating the duals is you loose some torque typically which is what gets the work done for pulling and such. I would install an "H pipe", or an "X pipe"(equalizer pipe) in between the two, there is a lot of info about this on the net.
I would guess with an x pipe gains could go up to 30-50hp, but that is speculation only (these results are not typical, volumetric efficiency may increase based on blah blah blah small print LOL).
I would still want to see the car fax for this truck if I was dropping that much coin. Looks good for the price, but you should have some cash set aside for "new vehicle to you" repairs.

Also found these other listings by him.
I copied and pasted "Any questions calls only please. I dont recieve text messages.I'm not interested in trades."
Which was the ending of his post, when I'm looking at a specific item I like to find out as much as I can about the individual or dealer, which he appears to be before even calling and certainly before buying.

Take note: lots of scrounged wood in the Cobalt pictures; this could be an in for a better deal on the truck, another way to work the price down, or maybe a new scrounging site or hookup for more scrounged wood.
Maybe he is the guy taking your hickory
You can also see he has a lot of cars in the background of the Beetle pictures and I see those piles of wood there too
I reduced that copy and paste I previously did to "I dont recieve text messages. I'm not interested in trades." and now have two more vehicles, surely a dealer.
Same here with only "I'm not interested in trades."
Only found one more a pontiac.
Found this in that search also @MustangMike
Needs the trans rebuilt though.

Check out this sweet wood hauler

Not sure if you knew all this before,
Hope this helps
Hope this helps.
Agreed Cody.
I can get those transfer cases dropped and rebuilt for less than it makes sense for me to do.
So you mean that pulling the cab off to do a head gasket is hard LOL.
I still miss my 99 super duty crew 4x4 short box, what a pulling machine with the 7.3
