So our 06 chevy 2500hd work truck lost a transmission today. Not sure if i want to fix or replace the truck. Truck is pretty beat. Motor makes some noise, truck needs brakes, tires windshield, interior is toast. Truck has 250k on it. Truck im looking at is through the guy in California i used to buy trucks from, its an 09 chevy 2500hd with 100k on the clock same exact setup with utility bed and all. Came from the same fleet which was the gas company which takes really good care of their trucks. The 06 went 250k with only oil changes and horrible drivers. What would you do? Hes asking 15k for the truck.
I am downsizing. I still want and need a utilty bed truck regardless. My other option is if the bed will swap i have an 08 f250 with a brand new motor that we dont use. Its a nice truck but its a ford with 200k on it. Knowing my luck we start towing with it and that tranny blows up.You said that you were going to get smaller, do you really need to replace it, if so sounds like you have a good source for trucks.

Tomorrow we are gonna take some measurements. Im pretty sure most are universal but the chevy was a cab n chassis and the ford is a pickup so there could be some differences

You are so right. The last 10 years that I installed, I only did jobs that I wanted. I quit working weekends and I worked by myself. And I made more profit than I did when I had employees.Mornin"
Sell all the junk (all as scrap iron) if you have to.
If you want to cut back do it, throwing together a couple other POS's isn't going to help... just something else to fall apart or get torn up by another "employee". Could you lease one, write it off as buisness expense?
If you can afford it, back off on all the crap work, do the work YOU want to do. Not everything you think you have to do!
