I'm Awesome
You won't hate it. You won't be madly in love with it either. Its issues have to do with pure luck and how well it has been maintained. My truck was well maintained for the 20k that it was running in my ownership but most likely wasn't prior to me. Unfortunately it died at 104k. I bought a 98 off of a guy that had meticulous records since new and it had a valve fail at 79k. My wife's chassis donor had it's 6.5 die at 125k but I don't know it's history. There are multiple issues that should be addressed to have a potentially happy life but those aren't a guarantee. I honestly feel that a purchase of a 6.5 is a roll of the dice.https://eastnc.craigslist.org/cto/d/1998-chevrolet-silverado-2500/6561484763.html
@skylark , how long would it take me to hate a 6.5?
All of that being said, that truck that you link looks like a real pile of crap. I definitely wouldn't be interested in it if it were me even if it were a 454.
