Re: Wish I hadn’t sold it?

Yes. I ordered it Jan '92 after reading how the 6.5TD was a completely redesigned new engine . That one actually was a good one. Never an issue till it dropped dead at 335k. I always like the Woodland Green. I had owned a variety of trucks in it over the years. I was hoping to order it in metallic gold like the other two trucks I had but it wasn't offered. Had everything spec'd out when we went to color. I didn't want that Sandstone they had. The salesman was flipping the pages around trying to find any other choices but they were all the other models. He flipped past the fleet colors page and I had him go back. There was the green, but he said those were only available on fleet orders. I asked him if I had a fleet and one truck got wrecked can't I order just one to replace it? He called GMC and they said I could get it if I waited for another order in that color, so I did. I picked the truck up in June. It was almost a '93!
