06' 2500HD Duramax 4x4

App-ironworks

97 Ram 3500 4x
5.9 Magnum v-8 4 spd AT
Dana 80 rear, Dana 60 front, 4.10 posi in both (wont turn worth a darn in 4by but it'll go)
NV241 t/c
Heavy duty everything.
11k gvw 15.5k gcvw , curb weight with my welder and tools 8240#
6 good tires, 5 that match.

Truth is I've never been a Mopar nut, but I got this rig for dirt cheap.
It's a gutless wonder with that small block and slush box, but I got it for dirt cheap. The utility bed is real handy but very rusty, I'll build a nice flatbed with as many underslung tool boxes as I can fit one day, soon. Till then if the welding/fab shop goes under I could put the telephone company stripes back on and steel power line copper for scrap, 'cept I'd probably get electrocuted if I didn't fall off the pole first. Truth is the more I drive it the more it's turning me into a Dodge man.

And I got it for dirt cheap

My new "99 Chevy 3500" completely Rust Free, right from Sunny Florida. Cannot find any that are not Rotted out Up here in the North because of the Road Salt. Bought this truck on Ebay to Replace my full size van ,hopefully to be easier on my old ass. So far it has been great- just 72k miles-it was a BellSouth truck so it was very good maintained. Best of all it didn't break the Bank.

Very nice! Good find.

I thought i saw a new rig in your driveway the other day Mike, how much for your van if someone asks me or are you keeping it for a back up vehicle?
Also about the only problem those enegines had was intake gasket problems. That does have the Vortec 5.7 right? You will see coolant seeping down the front of the block from the corners of the intake. They are easy to replace, also watch the heater hose nipple in the intake on the right side as they will rot off too. That truck should be getting 13-16mpg the way it is set up.

I drive a Ford F-250. I'm a fan.

I've also got a Ford F-250. IT is my plow truck & when I needed to haul Lumber for the Business. This is my first Chevy in quite a few years. I have the Dodge van that i am replacing with the Chev......... It also runs very well with the 5.2 liter w/132k on it. So I think they are all good.....

I would love to get the Volkswagen Transporter W/tdi & 7 speed 4motion gearbox! Medium sized van, 40 mpg hwy & all wheel drive, just not available in the states. I still want one!

I just got a 1993 4-door F-350, 4x4. Love the thing, but I'd like to get a utility bed for it someday.

There are a whole lot of great vehicles in Europe that just aren't available here, particularly in the small van segment.

I like that Volkswagon Transporter TDI too, but need to stay within a price range.

Ford has this new euro-van called a transit. I like the idea, but it only gets 25 mpg, and the back is only 6' long.

Ford F250 with the V-10. Cost me about 5 bucks whenever I think about starting it! lol

GMC 2500 Savana 4.8 liter......easy on the pocket!

some of the transporter commercial vans are based on the Mercedes (dodge-sprinter in the states) with a special VW front end. I saw a Sprinter on the highway in Delaware where the VW Transporter front end was installed-interesting look.
