Common issues are BALLJOINTS....SIGH, Fuel Pump issues and glass transmissions. If you get one. Build up the transmission at least.

ya i looked at gibson, but theyre overpriced IMHO. i really want the 6 speed manual, but those are hard to come by, and then i seen that trx, and i was like thats the one. the unfortunate thing is the truck will be sold by the time im ready to buy

ya the balljoints are because of the design of the axles, IMHO.

Yeah I hear ya on Gibson, also they hide alot of stuff. I know for a fact. I was lucky and got mine from an older guy orginal owner traded it in for a grand cherokee and only had 33k on it 3 years ago. Only thing Its missing is a manual with stacks.

ya, that truck you posted is pretty much about what im lookin for, something from 04.5 to 07.5 i dont want the 6.7 that has to much emsissions bs. and ya, i looked at that truck they only replaced the uppers, when you do ball joints you do them all! and a tie rod end? haha, you do them all too. 32k i think is too much for that. id pay 15k cash, and 25k finanace. you can get a new base model cummins for that.

sweet. thanks. let me know. im currently just lookin, and diggin up as much info as i can so that i know what to look for. do the 3rd gens still have the 53 block problem, or was that just a 2nd gen thing?

what do you think about this truck? id for sure try to talk him down with cash, because the carfax shows it was in an accident, though no frame damage.

I bought my truck for almost that same price non employee discount. Bought it 3 years ago with 33K on it. My true price, out the door was 27K then my 17K trade and financed the difference and paid it off in a year.

PLUS IF YOU BUY AT NATIONS YOU GET A FREE AK-47, LOL NO YOU REALLY GET A GIFT CARD TO SHOOT STRAIGHT OR GANDER MOUNTAIN.
