Been listed since March 25th 2025, there's only 2 shops in that town that do ppi and I know for sure the dealer knows them personally because it's in a tiny town. Makes me worry about for how long it's been listed because the good ones sell within a week or so. I'm 12 hours away drive time. The closest airport is 1.5 hours away and tickets are close to 900 round trip
. A buddy of mine has a 2003 1500 5.3 4x4 with 86k miles and only 1810 hours. The one I'm looking at has 96k miles with 4900 hours ...I think I'll pass
If you do not NEED a 3/4 ton, then a 1/2 ton is fine.

I found where the auction site was, the first link is in Eu I think. The second link is from Spokane, it says clean title but also says total loss vehicle. I don't see any front end damage from the auction site. The odometer reads 96,972 but I noticed the cel and brake light, also the busted rear driver window (dealer says he replaced the motor). On the dealers site, the vehicle is listed with 96,981km so it got 9 miles added onto it after the dealer got it from the auction.
I bought a Carfax and it isn't much different from the free one but here's what I've gathered...
2nd owner purchased it on 1/25/06 with 5,151miles. The vehicle has had 9 oil changes until 06/04/09 ending with 17,370 miles. Which would average 1,357 miles in-between services granted they were all done within 2-4 months. I guess that would be why the truck has such high engine hours but also makes me think ...was this truck used to plow snow?
Sorry for the long post, maybe I'm getting too much into my own mind or maybe it's the whiskey talking
You are right, that is likely a wise decision.
I knew you were comparing. I was and am curious if you are going to use it on the side business and need a 3/4 to haul with that.
What year/brand/model of truck are we talking about that reset the engine hours on battery replacement? That seems sketchy
Or a problem with the cluster but, like you said, that does not sound right.What year/brand/model of truck are we talking about that reset the engine hours on battery replacement? That seems sketchy

I had it happen on my 2006 LBZ and a buddy had it happen on his 2005 LLY. Found this thread about some of the gassers experiencing it also. Mostly consistent with battery being changed.
I have texted and emailed the owner of this truck, with no response yet. Maybe had Saturday plans and will get back to me tomorrow. The price is pretty good if the truck is as good as the ad says.2002 chevy silverado 2500hd for sale by owner - Damascus, OR - craigslist

Here is a beautiful one that has low mileage and looks great. I would likely go look and buy this one if I did not have mine.
That looks like a pretty good deal, nice truck.
Yes, depending on what the inspector says. Likely can have seepage or leaks at the transmission and oil cooling lines. If you need the shell, that is a plus or if you don't, then you can sell it. If you buy it, will you fly out and drive back or have it shipped? I zoomed in on the one tire and looks to be ok, and hope the others are too. What are you gonna put in the dash in place of the ashtray? You may have found the one truck you need and want. If you do get it, I hope you negotiate a satisfying price and then posts pics here, asap.
