if it's worth it to you, go for it... None of us can really say if it's worth it because we can't see it or drive it, ya know? But if it has a pusher pump, gauges, and trans upgrades you should be set.

diesel pap trucks around here go for good money everybody is selling cars for trucks after the first snow fall. im not worried about the condition of the truck. more or less im worried about the powerplant i will slowly put upgrades on it. whats the recommend upgrades for a dd besides chips and hp fuel pumps.
