I have internet searched all weekend and found locally a 2001 GMC 1 ton dually 4x4 with 6.6 litre turbo diesel and Allison auto tranny. It has 132,000 miles and asking price at dealership is 12999.00. Truck appears to be nicely equiped. I really was not looking for a 4x4 but used you can only be so picky. It's an extended cab which is something I'm wanting. I did some internet searches on the truck and engine/tranny combo and for the most part everything seems quite positive. Some fuel injector issues ( $$$ ) and an occasional blown head gasket but them seem to be quite stout.
On the flip side also found a Ford 350 dually with Triton V10 and 5 speed manual. Only has 79,000 miles but is not an extended cab but they are only asking 6999.00 but the interior is quite spartan. I know the V10 will not be as good on fuel but the fuel is cheaper and the 6000.00 in price difference buys a fair amount of fuel.
I've never owned a diesel so you guys that own them help me out with a decision. Thanks
