Has the truck been beat on? I am always weary of trucks that are already built. I personally like to do the performance upgrades myself just so I know its done right.

However, that sounds like a decent price always shoot a low ball offer and work your way up to the asking price. Never know may get it cheaper.

i know the two people who have owned it since 100,000 miles, the guy that built the truck up is a full time diesel mechanic so i know it was done right, the truck has never been pulled or raced. pretty much a daily driver for the past 4 years

I agree with buying an already modded truck. But that is not too bad of a price!
