20 or so yrs ago regular cabs were on the way out big time every one wanted crew,or extended cabs and paid a premium for them back then anyway. One might show up close to what your looking for usually when you least expect it at least that's what happens to me.
Searching for a truck I may never find?

If someone wasn't a diesel snob (

I’m actually finding a few trucks now. Might just be with the new year, some guys are letting go of excess inventory?

I went to test drive a new Dodge yesterday and came home with this. 36,000 miles, one owner that only used it to pull a camper. They got tired of the camper thing and he traded it on a 1500. I really didn't want white but that's how buying used goes. I did test drive a 24 but in the end I couldn't see 35 grand more for a new truck. It just boggles my mind that people can afford to spend 100K on a pickup truck.

Thanks. The dealership is doing that next week for the first round as part of the deal.
What type of oil do you run? What mileage interval?

Curious how reliable pre aisin auto transmissions mated with the sought after 5.9 pre def Cummins? Is that truck in your wheel house? I'm definitely not a Mopar/ ram guy just wondering rarely saw those 3/4 and one tons plowing, towing or much of anything else regarding commercial fleet use.
