great info guys, thanks. i will visit the boards listed above and nose around a bit. i would suspect i will prolly have to go 02 back to find the low mile unit that would suit me and my price range. in speaking with my pops he mentioned the troubled transmissions were, as far as he knew the manual, not the auto. the 4 wheel disk brake 01 and after is great info. just the thing i was hoping to find out to narrow the search focus. keep the stuff coming if anyones got more.

a couple things specific. i don't suspect the 1500 comes with the cummings? the brakes bigger on the 2500/3500? looking at a short bed with xtra cab of some sort. my buddy's is the long bed and rides great but seems like a nightmare to park, its just soo long.


cliff,, i ve had toyotas for 10+ years now and in being in my friends and dads truck recently i am looking for the additional room and auto transmission. the towing thing is a MAJOR factor as i will use it for more than just possible car trailer set up in the future. my toyota only gets about 18mpg freeway, my dads z71 chevy get 22, and i think the cummins is close to that. my truck may sit for a week or 10 days between running so its very much a part time vehicle.
