Shy wouldn't be the word I would use... I think it's just a matter of preference. One of our mechanics has a '99 24V/5spd, X-cab dually. Black on Black, nearly stock with something silly like 60K on the clock. It's a sweet truck, but it just doesn't feel nasty like my 12V. He talks about programmers and I look at him like he's an idiot. I talk about turning it up without a chip, and he looks at me like I'm an idiot. We're both die hard Cummins guys... it takes all types I guess

 

id give about 9500 at the most

 

I guess rust free trucks aren't that big a deal in TX. Most people up here would pay that just for the rust free shell

 

I agree 100%. And the only cummins i have never owned is a ve pump. But ive had 2 12 valves, 3 vp trucks, 1 common rail 5.9, and one 6.7. And for everyday driving i like the 24v and being able to tune it on the fly. If i had the time and money I would own a 12 valve any day of the week for a play truck. But you are correct... Its all a matter of preference and what you want to have and do with your truck.

 

dont forget about the 24v 53 block too!!!!!! and im jealous of TX when i was looking for my 3500 there were 784326598375698325 of the 5spd 4wd 12v in TX

 

thanks guys! the truck is 4wd, but i dont believe i'm going to look at it for a little while longer. i dont think i would get a 9k trade-in like i thought.. not even going to waste my time yet until i sell a few things.

 

plz close the thread... and this thread should be in potential owners. hope everything works out

 

Why... should it be closed...?

 

he is no longer looking. hes getting his money together

 

So when he does get to the next step with it he can start a new topic and go over it all again?
