That 3.8L in Arkansas is a Canadian spec truck. Interesting.

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.

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.

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 Im 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 Im waiting for the title on. Monti has 280k miles
