Hi all!
This is my first post and was really hoping to get some input on what I should do for my next vehicle. I'm wanting a 2006-2007 Chevy / GMC Van (Savana/Express) with the 6.6 duramax. My fiance and I are weekend warriors, every weekend we are driving minimum 2 hours in any given direction to go rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, or skiing. We're getting sick of putting away wet tents then re assemble at home to dry it out, or arriving late to campgrounds and missing the cut of time to get in, or more importantly we're looking to save some money using free camping approved sites and sleeping in the front of our current vehicles is getting annoying. The van will be my daily as well.
I've always loved the idea of a duramax quigley 4x4 conversion, but I'm wondering if I was to purchase a 06-07 express/savana duramax with 150-180k on it, would it be worth doing the quigley set up or would it be a bad investment? I know it's all in what I want and i should not be looking at it as an investment, but I'm curious if I was to set the van up with the conversion, in your opinion would I be able to ask a bit more for something like that in case I had to sell for unforeseen reasons do they traditionally not hold there value?
Reasons for wanting the 6.6 Duramax, living in Ma they are the last model diesel you can set a custom tune and better exhaust for MPG. Also more milage, better resale? I'm not really interested in a promaster/ sprinter setup although I know they are a very nice setup.
Again thank you for your thoughts!
