That 3.8L in Arkansas is a Canadian spec truck. Interesting.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

I don’t know what that means. Like headlight defrosters?

Either way I just think it’s cool you are getting a monti...and likely before I get mine. Still waiting on a duplicate title.

KM/H dominant speedo, some labeling, DRLs. That's about it. It's a novelty more than anything.

I haven't committed to getting anything yet.

The very clean 05 I pointed out to you the other day. The ad is kind of old though.

Yep. That's a 3.8L full size Limited. Better trim, 5 speed AT rather than 4. Looks really clean too. Those rims are hideous, but that's an easy fix.

My wife has made it plain she's fed up with me and cars.

Anyway, cheap 3.8 for RenoSteve.

And a 2 door 87 with a blown HG. Sounds like a donor chasiss ;)

Should I go look at it? Is it worth the price they're asking?

If you really want something like that, then go check it out. I only want to spend about half that much, and I'd still have a hard time turning that down if it was local. If you got it for 4k, I'd call that a solid deal.

I'm not completely fed up with you and cars...

It's just where they fall on the priority list. :)

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?

It's a 6G75. The only difference between it and the 6G72 you know and love is the number of cams. Has the timing belt and water pump been done on time. I think the 75s have a 90k interval rather than 60. I'm not 100% sure. Has it been kept current on oil and trans fluid changes. The only thing that's really unique about these is the motorized brake booster. Those can fail. So ask if that's been serviced. It's possible to rebuild the individual pump motors. That's a couple hundred bucks, but it's a lot cheaper than replacing the whole assembly.

I do t think I’m sold on owing a 3rd gen long term. The 3rd gen I found is beat up so all I want is the motor. Building a 2.5 would be my ideal full size build hands down.

Your last link is the 88 monti I’m waiting for the title on. Monti has 280k miles :eek:
