Basically the same truck , any warranty left? At 500k Injectors, Turbo and any other major components are ready to take a dump . The DD15 itself is a reliable powerplant. Have at least 10k put aside, market is a tough right now .

I would pull the ecm ....does either have an apu look for lowest idle time and highest mpg......I also would look at the rears but with the 12 speed I bet it's like 2.50 ish .......I have the best luck when idle time under 15%
With an apu in the current market do not give any more than 30 for either of those trucks ....I might even push hard if you have your own financing and try to steal it for less than 25krachi Thanks this. -
16 with less miles.
Reset the ecm software. Nothing governed.
Those motors generally come with 515 horses. Much better fuel economy. -
Get one with a metal bumper.
