    Before you commit, friend or no friend, get it on a dyno and do a blow by test, then get an ecm dump and have an independent mechanic go through the entire truck.

    waste of money on an almost million mile truck, put it to the rebuild and buy it as needing a motor,

    That's how I'd view it considering its best days are behind it.

    I wasn't considering the mileage, but the process. Many get burned by buying junk from freinds and family and someeone they once hung around with, but using the same method and having the mindset that any truck that you can consider to buy isn't being bought on the word of the person selling it but the verification that it can be used 'out of the box' or need to be fixed <<< if that makes sense to you guys?

    I would be amazed if that's the original OneBox on it. Usually 600K to 700K max.

    I know a lot of guys inframe them at about 800K irregardless of how they are running, and will then run them to 1.5 million and beyond.

    Replace the main wiring harness with it.

    Go maybe $30K. Between $25K and $30K for it, if the body and interior are nice.

    That's what I'm saying... We have almost 18k hrs on one D13 and it's running like new with little blowby and zero oil consumption. It's been maintained on synthetic oil since new and never neglected on PMs.
    I'm sure it will very easily go another 18k hrs as I've seen truck engines go over 50k hrs before that have been well maintained.
