Well my 85 suburban is starting to show its age, so am I and so it appears I may need to upgrade.
I have been looking at 1 ton dually diesels. Im cheap so nothing new.
I would like to have anybodys opinion on the following trucks I am looking to buy.
1997 - 2002 Dodge 1 ton dually Diesel prefer manual trans 2WD over 100,000 miles ok. Do not have 4 door cabs. Known issues with these are front end issues, some transmission issues. Let me know what your experiences have been.
1999 - 2002 For F350. 7.3 powerstroke, prefer manual trans, 2WD over 100,000 miles OK. Prefer the 4 door. I have heard about rear end issues mainly wheel bearings.
I intend to add some go fast make more power goodies. The Fords seemto be more well appointed for the money. Looking at spending between 15K - 20K.
So My question to all is what have been your experiences with these trucks good or bad and how did you like the vehicle good or bad. Please feel free to ask any questions or point me in the direction of a possible good deal.
Thank You
