I'm not understanding the logic of purchasing a "parts truck", when 95 percent of the parts on this thing can be purchased new.$9000 for a rebuild on the trans and engine, but its runs and drives? if you are concerned, buy a parts truck that runs and drives and you'll have whatever parts you may need as they arise.
I have a 96 v10, that i love, but its got a bad trans, reverse doesnt enjoy working. Yet it stills sits next to my garage, and if my cummins breaks down, i know my v10 will fire up with a jump and be able to tow it home.
They are great for power and gotta love the 8-10mpg!
I'd love for you to keep it, and fix, but at $9k for me personally that is wayyyy to much.
a parts truck would run you anywhere from 200-3500 depending on if its current on everything and usable.
**** wears out, and requires maintenance to stave off entropy. Yeah, it's a big chunk of change - but so is buying a used truck that's not got 150,000 miles on it and already 10 years old.
Even after a major rebuild I can almost guarantee total cost of ownership is lower than most newer stuff out there.
