Runs excellent
Confirmed mileage unknown, however supposedly it came from a motor home with 30k miles on it and has only 10-15k since install I have compression tested and everything checks out. Plugs are good and the engine runs flawlessly.
Automatic C6 transmission with approximately 30k miles on rebuild
Has a performance shift kit and torque converter
205 transfer case - goes in an our of gear smoothly.
4x4 works as it should and truck is equipped with Superwinch manual locking hubs
Front disc brakes, rear drum
Dana 60 high pinion front and Dana 60 rear axles
The 60 high pinion is the what was used for heavy duty and is a very sought after
This truck is a real awesome truck for anyone seeing where these markets are going on these years of pickup, as well as someone who just wants a cool truck as is to run around. It cruises down the freeway at 70 mph no problem and rides comfortably. Being that is is factory loaded it is a very desirable configuration for any owner. Hard to find in this type of condition with no restoration done. These trucks are skyrocketing in value and I wouldn't sell this one but I have too many other projects in the shop that are demanding my time. Perfect candidate for a restore with the condition and status it is. But again, just hop in it as it is or do few cosmetic things to it and use it just for driving around. Truck rides nice, sits great, and a unique and cool vehicle.
