My favorite Irish Proverb is "Better the Devil you know than the Devil you don't".
I have a 2002 Chevy Duramax 4X4 LT Extended cab, long box with a 130K miles. We use it to haul our horse trailer (3 horse gooseneck w/LQ) all over the place.
It handles and hauls well, I have been very happy with its perforamance.
Within the last 10K miles it got new Michelin tires, brakes, a transfer box, and two new batteries as well as new Bilstein shocks. It has had all of its injectors replaced under warranty.It is running better than ever.
So, on the one hand everything is up to date and I would hope to get another season of competion trips on the truck; on the other hand, maybe its time to move on to a new vehicle before their are more repair bills (the transfer case was ~$2K).
If/when I get a new vehicle it will probably be another Chevy Duramax, probably the 3500 SRW crew cab model.
Any thoughts, experience, ideas would be greatly appreciated!
