Default Deal on a 04 dually crew stroke or stay with my 94 crew idi

Im kinda torn what to do, I can get this 04 crew lariat diesel for 11900 clean 150k , 4x4 dually I've been reading alot about the the 6.0 mileage and people say 13 city 16 17 18 mpg highway. Im not really impressed as my 94 idi 5 speed gets about that now, Another wrench i know has a 00 crew 7.3 and he says he get's 20 all day on the highway. Also the dealer says he has no intrest in taking my truck on trade in, I just bought mm push plates, new rear leafs new hubs,new tires n rims etc etc for the 94 but havn't done the work yet, This dude said he would finance me with 1400 down and i can keep my 94 for private or keep the old lady will love that ...Ohhh and massachusetts bones you and makes you regiister commercial GOAT show for a dually, I wanna hear from you 6.0 guys and the old idi's Thanks on advice that comes my way

Right on the interior has it all day. We had a 2000 excursion that came from alaska v-10 clean, Ole lady took out some telephone poles, with no scatches to the kids or her inside, so Id say if she was in her KIA she'd be hurtin, Love'd that truck, now thats all she wants, maybe if she antes up her own wallet for another.. Yeah I love my ole 94 but the bench seat and the leg room for me iis kinda back wrenching, at 6'2.. Also in mass anythin over 10k gross they make you register once a year 20bucks per 1k gvwr, plus full dot inspect and your supposed to get a medical card which i have but not the point, Ive also heard the the 04 early 6.0s are the most problematic, my friend who runs a diesel shop said stay away from early 04 build 6.0s..

Dunno yet, illl see this week he said the starter was gone in it, so he was gonna get one in it today, My buddie does the egr cooler tubes all the time, so that wouldnt be a issue, just effect my offer price, It is after all, a buyers market these days
