Mine is a 95 3500 flatbed, that was literally a wreck when I made a mercy purchase from a friend in New Orleans who owned a small hotshot business.

He just put the third clutch/tranny in it and it already had the fuel pump rebuilt. A couple of the injectors were shot and the interior and paint job showed its mileage. It had over a half million miles on it. He fleet maintained it and it had mostly highway miles.

He wanted 5k for it, and eventually dropped it to 3k over a year. He finally asked if I were interested, and I really wasn't, but I played with him and told him I'd buy it for 2750. He bit.

He showed me all the recent work, and it was more than the check I wrote. I figured I'd run it into the ground, but I just can't KILL this thing.

I've since put in 40hp Bosch injectors, and just recently put in a 3k GSK and #10 plate. She literally runs like brand new.

I have one of the new high efficiency cone-type Amsoil air filters (BHAF replacement) and syn oil/filter on the way.

Oh. She currently has 604k+ miles on her.

Since she's kinda grown on me, I've given her a paint job, a new interior and is looking darn good. I think I'll keep her and see how far she'll go.

I'm in the process of getting pics. I'll post them as soon as I can.

For a flatbed, she's a head turner.

I'm thinking of getting wheel adapters for semi rims.

HEY MONSTER B,
i can help but notice that in your sig you say you dont have a thermostat............ why not? How does it run when its cold??
it runs really good, warm-up takes a little longer but stays cooler, the power

and response feels like it's has a small shot of nos or propane, quicker spool

on the turbo, it gets a little warm in traffic but nothing in the hot range, and

i live in calif. and it's hot right now, i think the sun is about 2 miles from

my house.:lol3:

I have a 93 with 367000 kms on it. That converts to about 228k mi, with a tranny rebuild/clutch replacement about 50k mi ago. I happen to know personally a 91 with over 500k mi of very, very, VERY abusive miles. Cab's been welded back together a few times, but motor is still strong. It's a 3500 4x4 tow truck

I'm the happy owner of a '96 3500 dually with 53,000 original miles and NO mods, at least at the present time. I love this truck! I don't know if I'd change a thing on it. The engine runs really strong. The interior and exterior are in fairly good condition although I think the previous owner was real cheap with wax and taking care of the paint finish, in general. :peelout
