Theres a buddy of mine whos kinda thinking of getting rid of the old family farm truck. Its a 96 K2500 regular cab, long box, 4x4, 5 spd manual with a 6.5 diesel. Im seriously tempted, its got 400+Km but its in fantastic shape. Lots of work done to it and meticulously maintained, Im kinda thinking a DD with better mileage for myself. Only thing that scares me.....the engine is OE, thats a lot of KM for anything.

Those trucks last a long time, the only truck ny dad ever bought brand new was a 92 chevy 4x4 and he still has it today. Its got almost 710,000 kms and has only been rebuilt once! Ill try find a pic

Yea if these trucks are maintained they last a long ass time. My chassis has 490000+ KMs on it and my Engine is just over 400000. The only reason the original engine is out of the truck is because the oil cooler line came out and it spun a bearing due to oil starvation.
