Ok guys ive been gone for a while and am getting back into the diesels, still have the one in my sig but the rust of indiana winter has gotten the best of her. I was going to just redo the truck but im finding that i can actually buy the same year truck with zero rust for about the same price as what its gonna cost to redo mine. so the truck im looking into is a 2001 qclb 4x4 auto with 275,000 miles on it, leather interior sound system and a fass fuel system 5" exhaust and a brand new torque converter. i have a fully built tranny that i can put in it and my juice w/attitude will plug and play also. My only concern is the 275,000 miles what do you guys think??? thanks in advance for your opinions

 

I wouldn't worry about mileage. As long as it was cared for.

 

Sounds like you have a GREAT donor truck. I would pull the trigger if the price is right for you!!!

 

Well fellas i bought another 2nd gen, 2000 excb sb 4x4 nv4500 dual disk, with 190,000 on the clock over all a pretty decent truck, think i will look for a new bed from down south the wheel wells are starting to rust but she only set me back 9,500.. do have a question and i need to check what gearing it has but at 70 on the interstate it is turning 2000rpm is this normal?????

 

70 mph at 2000 rpm is 3.55 gears. Congrats

 

So is 2000 rpm at 70 normal for these?? I didnt wanna run what i normally would on the interstate was affraid of what the rpm would be

 

These engines are fine to run anything less than 3200 all day long. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

ok sounds good thank you for the info sir
