The Duramax is actually a fairly reliable light duty diesel engine. And the modern GM 9.25" IFS system is actually just as strong as a Dana 60. They solve a lot of the IFS issues with the GMT800 and 900 platforms. As for rear axles, Ram and GM use the same AAM 11.5" axle. That said, the Ram does...

Motorcraft sells ones for the 350s that are greaseable. Had to change them out on one a little while ago. Sent from my Vortec-powered Droid Turbo using Tapatalk

No, look on the rpo list in the glove box. If it has posi, you will see the code G80. However, it is very possible to see all the stuff the vehicle has by using a VIN decoder like compnine. Sent from my Vortec-powered Droid Turbo using Tapatalk

Yeah, post edited. It will have an NP241 transfer case, probably with a 4L60E, 8.5" rear axle, 8.25" ifs, and whatever engine is in it. Sent from my Vortec-powered Droid Turbo using Tapatalk

Not sure on the SUVs, but some of the trucks had push-button 4x4 starting in '96. Seeing as its a manual transfer case, you will have an NP241, which is the manual version of the NP243, which is the push-button 4x4 (not to be confused with the Np246, which is the autotrac) Sent from my...

Clean looking truck. What you questioned him about is what I would have done too. Sent from my Vortec-powered Droid Turbo using Tapatalk

My 02 2500hd has stock 16s Sent from my Vortec-powered Droid Turbo using Tapatalk

"Like New" is a relative term when it comes to military equipment, especially vehicles. Those vehicles tend to get the ******t beat out of them. And as for mileage, that's only times it actually moved. Military has a tendency to let vehicles idle for extended periods of time Sent from my...

I think all 3/4 and 1 tons bad 4L80s in them. I would just use the Vortec. More power, better fuel economy too. And there are fixes for the fuel injection system, in the form of an updated injection assembly with electronic injectors as opposed to the stock poppet valves. Sent from my...

Or you could have the best of both worlds... Find a truck with an 8.1! You'll have he rugged reliability of a gasser, and the power of a diesel. Fuel economy may be just a wee bit below your desires though.. Sent from my Vortec-powered Droid Turbo using Tapatalk

I think you should find a truck with an 8.1 :D But seriously, it all depends on what you're after. The Duramax will have more power and better fuel economy, but are you willing to spend the extra on maintenance that diesels require? Sent from my Vortec-powered Droid Turbo using Tapatalk

Perdonally, i would go with a DCSB Tundra, simply because I like the versatility. I can tow one day and off-road the next. As for trim, I would get the TRD if you can afford it. The locking differential will help a ton off-road, especially when you get into trouble areas. The suspension will...

Aside from that, looks okay. Would I get one? Probably not. If I get a midsize, I wouldn't want to sacrifice the solid rear axle, or the body-on-frame setup. Sent from my Vortec-powered Droid Turbo using Tapatalk
