hey bombers,
ive been on FTE forums a while and am cosidering getting a cummins. Now id like to see if you guys think a 12 valve is practical for me.
i tow maybe twice a month, anywhere from a 5x10 bumper pull, to a 30ft livestock gooseneck
i drive ALOT on the weekends. i average 500 miles weekends and about 150 a week to work.
i have NO problem driving slow to acheive the best possible MPG.
i live in a small town (800 pop) and drive alot of dirt roads.

now ive found a 98 2500 12 valve, reg cab, NV4500, 130k miles, with FACTORY dana 80 rear end, front end and transmission recently rebuilt, needs paint.one owner. for $6500

when i saw this i thought it was a steal! because im my small town 12 valves have been going for alot higher with tons of miles on them. i really love having the extra power when needed, but im concerned about the cost of maintenance, fuel, repairs, consumables, etc.

 

they are supposed to be the easiest to work on and get good mpgs

 

And the truck IS p pumped..

 

thats a good deal. if u want a simple truck....easy to work on its for u. i love mine.

 

love mine to

 

Buy it I love mine
