Quite a lot. But don’t just rush in.

Do your due diligence - Rig Dig, samples, Dyno etc.

18 is just a 13 that you can split the low range. Drive it like a 13.

 

Will this pre-cowpiss truck fit your application of use. Do you goto commie-fornia? How are you at wrench twisting?

 

Both the 93 and 99 we flew down to Texas from pa. I'd go cross country for a good deal

 

If you don't mind wrenching , and you do the basic pre purchase deal, and a good price , then doing a 18 speed will be simple , they shift like normal, you just split more gears, i think they are great. And there all- right for tamker hauling.

 

Yea mold/mildew smell. Water stains. Mud and dirt in places there shouldn't be any. Like pull the dash apart and its all filthy like its seen nothing but dirt roads its whole life then you have issues.

 

If you are a Cummins mechanic, here's what to do

Buy an ELD exempt truck and yank out that computerized junk.

Sell off the computerized engine and put in a brand new Cummins big cam.

Easy to work on and dependable. Being a Cummins mechanic you will have absolutely zero problems and you'll be able to read these threads and feel bad for guys with their computer nonsense.

 

Pull a few fuses out of the panel, I've seen pickups where it was all corroded junk. A feedmill around here had a truck burn up while the owner was mixing feed, I was told that thing was all corroded and the fuse panel wiring shot from people resting their #### covered boots on it.
