Advice on which truck to buy

the used truck is like uncut watermelon. you can get bla bla bla reports for $25, do dyno, get DOT-ed( hahahaha), ask for maintenance history from Jose or Ivan.... you won't be covered from future disasters. Buy a oem offered warranty for engine, aftertreatment for 1 year/100000 miles.

 

Is because they have a hard enough time turning a short truck much less a hood.

 

Find a decent 379 long hood with a rebuilt series 60 and a 13 speed

 

A visual inspection and a road test is good enough if you know what your looking at as well. If your staring at a Volvo with a Mercedes or some crap you might as well flip a coin.

 

Dude, if he's asking what kind of truck to buy he doesn't need a hood. He needs something with good visibility.

 

You might have a point strollinruss

 

Fair point but I was talking about Petes in general, not hoods specifically. Pete 386 wheelbase is almost identical to Cascadia.

 

Hmmmm I would stick with the aluminum hoods.

 

Got an aftermarket fiberglass one on a 94 exh. Can't tell any difference

 

Until the cracks come. The 386 hoods break around the hood hinges all the time.
