narrowed it down to two trucks, and I am confused
I finally decided to paint my 93 dodge diesel and sell it. Low milage of 126000 but need a real rear seat for my growing kids.
Drove out to Tucson this weekend to look at a Dodge 3500 diesel 4WD and like it a lot. Compared to my old 93, it was day and night. It has plenty of power and it was sooooo quiet. I drove my truck out there and half way through, I needed ear plugs. Oh, its a stock truck. the ride on the new truck is soooo much nicer. Even though its a 4WD, the ride was firm. Its an 05
Now, there's this 06 Chevy Duramax, also 4wd. I found 15 miles from my house. Owner seem to really want to get rid of it because he bought a Megacab Dodge. he's spend 14000 bucks on new injectors, pump and a bunch of front end parts making it reliable.
Both truck are within 1500 buck of each other, but I hear the Chevy is a better riding truck with IFS front suspension and a great transmission. The dodge is a tank with the good-O-Cummins in there.
I need to decide but are having a hard time doing so. I know the Chevy is a better truck overall compare to Dodge's legendary built quality but I really like the engine. Those are the last years without all the smog crap. the mileage on them are acceptable, under 175k.
What would buy?
