I just traded my 2011 ford dually diesel in on a Ram 3500 gas. It had just 31,000 miles and it was loaded but I was getting concerned about the cost of repairs as it had never had good brakes and it had developed a noticeable rumble. It was nearly time to replace all six tires which would have been major purchase. Diesel fuel is a pain also because many of our service stations in this area have gas only. Where I live, NY State, diesel is always higher than gas and I was only getting between 11 and 14 miles per gallon of fuel. I was able to trade for $4000 difference [they already had a buyer for my trade in] on a new truck with a window sticker price of $45,700. Yes, the Ford was a lot of truck with great looks and power but I do not regret sending it down the road. I only have a few hundred miles on the new Ram but it is getting 18 to 20 miles with no load so I expect some savings in fuel costs.
The Chevy that you are looking at has a lot of miles and it will need some costly repairs in the near future in my opinion. New trucks are costly but they can last for many years with minimum repair cost. I had a new 1999 Dodge with the Cummins 12 valve engine that I drove for nine years without any mechanical problems other than the brakes. I traded it on a Ford and I but I am done with them.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
