Hey guys...
I usually hang out on the gen 6 forum seeing as how i got a 77 3/4ton...
Anyways....
In about a year or so ill be paying off my 2008 Colorado and selling it to buy a real truck...
What i have my sites set on is a 92-97 Crew Cab Dually, or 92-97 Crewcab SRW 4x4.....preferably with a 7.3L...but iknow NOTHING about them...
I have some questions....
As this will be my daily driver driving about 60 miles round trip everyday, what kind of mileage would we be looking at? I prefer a stick shift but will take an auto if the right truck comes along....
I know the 7.3L is usually dead nuts reliable....but how many miles are they usuallly good for....and what are any serious/known problems with these engines?
Since i work nights in michigan cold starting is an issue, i have no where to plug it in (at work) so how do they usually cold start???
I pull a 7000lb camper...what kind of mileage could i expect with the trailer? Right now i pull it with my 77 with a 400M and it has ok power but gets all of about 7mpg....
Any other info on things to watch out for would also be great....
