Hi everyone!

Havent been on this part of the forum before, but just purchased a 2000 base 1/2 ton 2wd. It has the v6 & auto with towing package(interesting) Has 218,000 miles on it but the motor purrs like a kitten. Drove to Rochester Minnesota (300 miles) to get it. Only cost $1300 bucks! ($700 cash & $600 trade-in for my old Buick) Its got its issues with dents & dings & a little rot, but all in all a decent truck for the money. Don't plan on customizing or fixing it up much. Just got it for a daily driver & something to drive long distances for parts or lumber or what have ya.

Welcome to the "quiet" side of the board! It sounds like you got a smokin deal on the truck

99 -06 trucks are new to me also...just picked up my 02 about a yr ago. This side runs a bit slower , but there are some pretty good guys to help with the questions ,or problems with this Gen truck.

Quiet?! you sure are right!

But you did get a damn good deal on that truck. That is a steal i would say. Nice color too! I always liked that blue.
