LLYs are awesome. I'd get one over a 5.9 cummins anyday.

Just know that the Allison will need upgraded if you decide to start really upgrading stuff. The 48RE behind the cummins will need upgraded as well, but it's much cheaper to do so.

It currently has a exhaust, unsure if it's been chipped. But I won't be modding it, no point.

Also to add I don't know anything about diesel's so this is why I'm posting. I was going to buy a gas truck but I don't feel like dealing with one while towing through mountains.

Forgot to add the GMC after it's been driven idle surges like a DSM... Judging by crawling around on google searches it seems it's just a FPR which is cheap enough to not warrant walking from this truck...

As long as the GMC isn't an LB7, I'd go GMC

04.5 so it's the LLY judging by the 2 in the VIN.

So I have been looking for a tow rig for awhile, posted a similar topic on another site but it seems that more truck people are on here.

I'm looking to tow a car and a boat, nothing crazy.

Here are the two trucks in question:

2004 GMC 3500 Dually, 6.6 LLY Diesel with Allison trans 110k miles, 19.5 Alcoa wheels, airbags in the rear, 6 new tires, side exhaust. Way overkill but I loved the turning radius, it's actually really good compared to other trucks I looked at.

2006 Dodge 3500 Laramie 118k miles, cummins 5.9, stock. Leather. Auto

I drive 10 min max to work so I would like to drive the truck to work on most days as well, MPG isn't really a factor in deciding.

Money wise the Ram is 1,600$ more and needs new tires, it has four un-matching tires which makes me wonder how it was taken care of... The added costs to purchase the Ram do not matter, just throwing it out there to gauge the price on both trucks.

Any input would be appreciated

sad thing is, walmart sells oil cheaper than the parts store.

The only reason I step foot in the place, buy 20 gallons of rotella t6 and leave.

Wow! It sucks to see this kinda shit happen in family's. My step-grandma took everything from my grandma and dad. Then just in the last few months family member took 10K in cash when a key was given to them to help my uncle get home after a surgery he had.

People are fucking slime balls

2,800$ doesn't seem bad for a whole new unit.

My compressor was just replaced two weeks ago, 1,800$

Charlotte is a cool city. Columbia SC has Pawley's Front Porch which has awesome burgers. It was on Diners, Drive-In's & Dives. Also depending which way you drive down there, you'll drive through Point Pleasant...hit up the mothman museum :dumb:

 

I'd probably just book it down to Hilton Head and spend as much time there as possible.

Charlotte a a fun city, have to know which places to hot though as with anywhere.

Hilton head isn't near myrtle beach, if avoid myrtle beach and go somewhere else. Charleston or savannah.

Hilton head is a bore, isn't much to do.

Does anyone have a ballpark price estimate of what a shop such as Crawford or Accelerated Performance gets for one of these built monsters?

Probably in the 60k ISH range including the car...

Be ready to search for one, and don't think they are cheap, the Limited BRZ at Byers Mazda Subaru had a $5000 over sticker availability charge which took it to $32,000.

These have been sitting at my local Subaru dealer.... I assumed they weren't selling..

Aventador

Haha.

I see this guys signature and can't help but laugh at the thread title. I couldn't imagine getting out of a rattle box Evo and into a aventator if I wanted

But considering I've had a EVO I would suggest one over the Golf R, people seem to regret purchasing the golf r it seems.

Evo has way more potential in every aspect as well

 

go home shawn, you're drunk

HAHA :lolguy:

LOL, I know. A dollar is a dollar right now, believe me, it's not my first choice. I already have 2 cars on deck at this point. This is just a brainstorm because it's available.

I've had 900s, 9-3s and 9-5s. All ended up with electric gremlins. Unless it needs something minor that you're 100% sure is all that it needs then go for it, if not run.
