    I did the deal on the 387 today. Almost bought a brand new 780 but came to the conclusion it was to far to extend myself so I bought the used truck. Couldn't find a good used 780 I liked so the Pete was the best deal, lowest mileage, dyno and leakdown couldn't have came out any better, and it has a brand new APU!
    Thanks to all for answering all my dumb questions, even tho this is my 3rd truck its still a hard decision to make and great to have a place to gather info!!
    Thanks again!!
