TX trucks seem to be higher than normal pricing, esp for me over here in NC. I just bought my truck with an 03 motor, 20 over Mahle pistons, and rods, and 25 K on the motor, 254K on the body for a little over 10K. all in what deals you find. I did findout on mine, that it smokes at idle, and I changed the oil and it smelled of diesel. Which means that I have o rings that are bad on my injectors. so I need to change them. some little interior things dont work, like a window motor and lock switches, but ovrall a good truck for the $$.... I would say thats a good deal! Go for it if you're feeling it!
