Last summer I bought a 2002 (Arkansas Truck) 3500 crew cab with 8.1 and Allison 1000 . It had 42,000 miles on it. I was told it was used a few times a year to pull a small trailer and race car. This thing is a cream puff and a super truck. Pulls the 45 Ft LQ 3 axel Eagle trailer with ease. It developed a miss and started to stall at times. It threw a code on the CPS and when I replaced it the mileage went up. It does have some VT noise when cold and a PS pump whine when cold. I probably paid a little much for it, but it was nice and what I wanted & kept me from spending my retirement on a brand new truck. I'm very pleased. I'm thinking about some sort of tuner and on the fly O2 monitor before I hit the road racing again.
