I would never trade down from a 2500 even if that 1500 is in perfect shape.
And all opinions aside value wise that is not a good deal on your end

No. Did you see your list of all the **** youve done to your 97. And then did you compare it to the 02? If it was like an 06 cummins then yeah go for it but your essentially getting a newer truck with less power.

alright alright i wont sell it. instead im decided to re build the motor and get a programmer so i can drive it to college and not kill me in gas. i did find out that my fuel pump will not come on at all (probably will replace it) and i replaced the oil pump today with a high volume one :D
