I'd recommend saving a bunch of dough and buying a high-mile late model Express....lots of businesses pile on the miles and it's easy on the trucks (vans). I bought my 2005 Express 3500 6.0L from a gas pump service company that ran from their headquarters to a service hub twice a week, a 900...

I was talking about yanking your 5 cylinder lump and putting in a used late model small block V8....replicating the H3 Alpha The 5.3L Alpha was the exact same motor/accessories/harness/computers they used in the V8 Trailblazer, Envoy, Rainier, Canyon, Colorado, SSR, and Saab 9-7x. Finding one...

Almost everything has been covered in this thread, but just to pile on, I had a 2007 Crew 4x4 6.0 Powerstroke and never had any issues whatsoever in well over 100K miles. Great truck! I'd prefer a 2005-2007 Super Duty over the earlier trucks (coil springs turn tighter, better brakes, nicer...

$18K budget. So what is your truck worth now? $12K? $14K? Then that's $4-6K 'opportunity cost' towards sticking a V8 in your own truck....easily done

The easy choice would be a V8 Grand Cherokee.....why is that not on your short list? At 5,000 pounds and a huge aero load, I'd skip anything with a V6. The Tacoma, Frontier, etc will not cut it. In my opinion, the Toyota 4.7L V8 isn't strong enough either. The 4.6L is much better, as is the...

Don't overlook the offerings from GM and Ram....they have fantastic trucks this year as well.

Kermit- I never had any issues with spark plugs, and I did have them replaced with no issue. That van did have coil issues and I replaced a few over time. It also had a very slight crack in the passenger's side exhaust manifold that would pfft-pfft when cold then seal up when warm -- I never...

Again, new Unimogs are not available in the USA

Do you mean 7,600LB Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)? Because no factory half ton truck -- ever -- has had a 7,600 pound payload rating. Ever. Ah, no. GM never produced a RPO locking front end in 99 Suburban. Definitively. Absolutely. Never. Nor did a '1992-1999 Suburban ever have a factory...

Did I read that right? '96 with 215,000 miles? $25,000?

I had a 6.0L gasser 3500 Extended, and it did not get 18-20 mpg. It would do 16ish pretty easily though. Bone stock truck, including tire size. It's altogether possible that a larger tire might change gearing enough to help fuel economy. I was happy enough with 16ish freeway. Sold it with 260K...

The Passat does use DEF, and the new engine for 2014 will use DEF

You may have to do a cam phaser or two in time, those years were notorious for it. And wheel bearings. But otherwise quite solid. If the price is right, it will likely serve you well.

I assumed the OP's query was for bone stock pickups available for purchase in the US today If we can count vehicles sold in other countries, vehicles no longer sold, conversions, swaps, mods, and aftermarket solutions.....then my answers will change :D

Powerwagon Payload:

The Raptor's total reserve axle capacity is 1,382 lbs, which means the springs (weakest link) are giving up 336 pounds of payload potential. Stiffer spring rates would recover those 336 pounds. When the vehicle is loaded 336 pounds heavier, it would retain every bit of its "fancy factory...

A base 2013 Ram Powerwagon Tradesman is $43K Really depends on the model, right? A regular cab 4x4 is $24K A base 2013 Raptor Supercab is $45K, and well equipped Kinda..... it's an unassembled KIT and you need to supply the engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, etc... The kits...

I'm known for the dissenting opinion, so not to disappoint: Stock tires: Raptor 35" vs PW 33" Min ground clearance: Raptor 10.0" vs PW 7.1" (2.9" advantage in min clearance) Fuel tank: Raptor 36.0 gal vs PW 31.0 gal (5.0 gallon advantage) Steering: Raptor Rack & Pinion vs PW recirculating ball...
