Aight guys..need some advice from some fellow truckheads. 97 F250 HD with 4wd. Bummer is it is an automatic, and with the diesel the autos rarely last over 100k, I am at 90k miles currently. Should I trade it in on a new one before it frags, or just bite the bullet and get the 3 grand wicked tranny from BTS that is unkillable?? I am seriously leaning towards a new truck..but I kinda like not having to worry about scratches and stuff. Plus a new one will be easier if they send my ass over seas since it will not be fucked with emmissions wise (too late on current truck)
Leaning towards a new F350 reg cab like current setupw ith diesel and the 6speed, or perhaps even a jeep rubicon wrangler since it has factor lockers and dana 44s.

those f350's are NICE. My vote would be to pick up one of those

i hear the rubicons are too extreme for most every day use

why not just get another auto tranny and buy another 100k?

Tony

Jesse, likely will do that, and get a nice new shiny motorcycle when I pay this one off, but I keep drooling over the new super duties. Wonder why they consider that jeep too hardcore for everyday..oh how I would love to beat the hellout of one offroad..haha

f-350 sounds like a killa-go for it

apparently its just too rough of a ride etc its great as hell for off road but on road its supose dot be terrible

Tony

Ahh, gotcha, plus with the 4.10s it is prolly useless on the interstate.

F350... or, actually, the Ram3500's are NICE!!!

I'm not a big fan of the dodge truck as a whole, although thier diesel engine is pretty nice, an F350 with the cummins would probably put dodge out of business.

I've never been a Dodge fan til I drove dad's 2003 2500 Ram. I'm impressed. The Hemi is a beast.
