here is what i would do go to nada.org figure what it would be if running then figure a couple grand drop for rear end and new comp at least that is what i would say to you if i was buying it.

Actually id say fix the computer to get it running then we will talk but im not buying so....

Not trying to be rude or anything but, I do not think i would say $19000. You could almost buy one running for that much I bought mine for a little more than that running excellent but mine is a ford i would shoot towards something like $16000 or have him fix the computer then do $19000. Just my two cents on what I would do.

I posted it in the for sale along with the NADA quote of $11,000. $7500 or best offer, VERY open to negotiation. I don't have the money to fix it. So I am looking to sell or trade. I wouldn't be surprised to see it go for less than half that. Just trying to get rid of them. An engine only deal down here is going for $850 and needs rebuilt.

but your engine isnt in need of rebuild is it? just needs an ECM, a new ECM could be had for under $1000, infact i know of a fellow that sells ECM's that are tuned for about $700

that $7500 is a steal for that truck its an LLY with the VGT

And the dealer says the engine is good, just needs a computer. Yeah, I just don't have the money. I got two of these, so I am trying to get a little cash to work on the other one. Heck, I would even give one away to someone who would get one running.
