Holy Cow! I want one! I want one BAD! I'd give asking price for it if it were me. They are sporty looking, are they not? 2WD reg cab dually........wow.

Some day I'm going to trade in all my trucks for one. I just know there is one out there....down in AZ, with 68,000 on the clock, with my name on it.

Its worth that.

Check the rear axle over real good for loose bearings. It is a 3:08 gear ratio. They are all most impossable to find complete or in parts. The 3:08 axles are there own breed. No other ring and pinion will work in them. Unless you have a lathe and a lot of time on your hands.

Swap the turbo. For the second upgrade find a trans with OD, preferably with a lockup converter.

I wrote that wrong it has dents and dings .

A truck that year without dents and dings would be abnormal. :lol:

Don't let the rear axle bother you. Just keep the oil changed and listen for noises. Repair as soon as you hear any.

Back the fuel screw out about 1/2 a turn, that should fix it!
