I was driving back home and noticed it on side of the road for sale. I'm going to call about since the year wasn't posted on the sign and get a thorough overview of what all I know to ask the owner because 1. It's a farm truck for sale 2. Has gooseneck hitch 3. 4wd 4. How much as it been abused as towing most of its life 5. Is the 6 speed been at all giving any trouble that he or she is willing to admit.
My question before I get the wrong answers is which of the 6 speed trannies either the NV5600 or NV4500HD is more favorable?
This for me would be a farm truck in my case and since this truck caught my eye I had a gut feeling that this would look great around this farm. I Have been considering getting in to the cattle farming way of life because prices are on the up and up and may get better and better. For me the goose neck would come in handy for me as well. I would rather have a used dodge with the cummins anyhow and the sheer ruggedness and toughness of the cummins is my itch.
I will obviously get mileage, but my input from any of you dodge guys and girls is a clean truck that looks to be around 2006 or newer with the stick shift worth the hassle??? I do know the 5.9s are more favorable than the 6.7s but I don't want that to deter me from considering if this truck is the 6.7. The 5.9s just are beasts.
I looked under it and saw no visible oil leaks on the pans I thought I would definitely look into considering an offer if it checks out from my list of questions.
So in a nutshell is the single cab 2500 long box 4wd with 6speed from I dunno what year and 4wd floor shift worth it?
It will be strictly a tow rig but the 6 speed stick is doable, but an auto in this truck would definitely be more appealing. Remember I'm kinda just wanting a jest of what could be?
And if he has close to 200,000miles on it or 150,000 miles on it what ballpark of price you think it will be? I know that is really hard to determine because I dunno what mileage and year. But just humor me on an honest opinion? No [censored] responses about that I obviously don't know much til I just call tomorrow.
Thanks.
6 speed good or bad
