Pullstart 62,795 #1 Posted September 5, 2018 I found a clean truck in Norman, OK that I’m thinking about flying out for, (yes, my Colorado does have limits, need a camper hauler!) was just wondering if there’s anyone available to swing by and look around it for me? I really doubt there is any problems that are too big for me, but you know how pictures can be deceiving occasionally... thanks, Kevin from rusty Michigan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,795 #9 Posted September 5, 2018 I was able to video chat with the dealer and went over the truck together. Working out a deposit, planning on heading out next weekend to pick it up. I have a new set of 10 ply tires sitting here waiting for it, and a camper that needs hauling to the Winchester 400 down south of Indy in October. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clueless 2,976 #10 Posted September 5, 2018 Chris, those older duramax are tough trucks. Neighbor had one he bought new for years, he beat the dog out of it. He decided he needed a new one so he traded it in for a new one a couple of years ago, says he wishes he had his old one back. Good luck. Kevin. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,795 #13 Posted September 5, 2018 Asking price less than 7 grand... it’s easily a 13k vehicle in this area. I didn’t see any rust, has had injectors, new heads,, head studs clutch, and batteries all in the last 2 years. Only power adders are an edge tuner, which I will likely use for egt readings more than anything. It might end up at the big show next year, we’ll see! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I live 10 miles north of Norman? @Daddy Don I appreciate your offer, if you feel like taking a cruise through Norman Mitsubishi, it’s supposed to be off the market and parked out back... but I put a non-refundable deposit on the truck and we booked our flight/hotel/rental car for next Friday, the 14th. Plan to land in OKC at about 9:30 and head to Norman. Maybe we could meet for lunch and a picture on Saturday? it’ll be the Mrs. and I’s 11th anniversary that day! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve, I can understand how you can get Kevin and I confused, other than the 25 + years difference in age, the 100 + pounds weight difference and the color of the beard and hair, we could be twins. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daddy Don 905 #19 Posted September 6, 2018 . I will be going down to Norman tomorrow and will go buy and see what it looks like and let you know if I see anything wrong. The car dealerships down in Norman on the mile of cars are pretty trust worthy. Would sure like to meet you. Have a safe trip. If you like BBQ try Swaldys BBQ in Okc. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
