You must drive with your foot through the floor everywhere you go.

I know it's been said, but this is what I think. The truck (if you plan on keeping it and don't wanna do any crazy off-roading) is worth it. If you have any doubt in your mind about keeping the truck for a while, don't buy it. I wanted a turbo diesel so bad, but I settle for a vehicle with smaller payments now no one will buy it, so I can buy my diesel.

And IFS sucks.

I have a superchip and I have it set on performance mode which is why I get such low mpg. Stock my truck only gets 13 city 15 highway which is still horrible.

Go for it if you want, there nothing wrong with the truck. It has high mileage and oversized tires so you just have to think into the future about the money you will need to spend. Parts/tires/gas if you are willing to be paying for all that than get it. Chevys last long usualy but you have to start shoveling money into them once you get to high mileage. You might get to 200,000 befor you se any problems but you never know. Thats why I agree on everyone else's statements as to getting a diseal, they are bullet proof.
