[QUOTE="RandysMJ, post: 499512, member: 3038"] Ok. I currently have a 2001 F250 CCSB 4x4 7.3 and 6spd and 148,000 miles. It has a air intake, DP tuner chip, 4" Diamond Eye exhaust, level kit, 33's and 20" BMF's. I've owned it about 8 years. Now a friend of mine is REALLY wanting the truck. He has been bugging me about selling it to him for about a year. Well he actually made me an offer of $17,500.00. I'm thinking very seriously of selling it to him! Here is the reason why. I have a camping spot on Kentucky Lake next to my parents. So i'm thinking sell the F250. With that money i should be able to buy a decent 28-32ft used camper, and a decent Chevy or GMC 2500 or 3500 with a 6.0 or 8.1. I'm looking at CCSB, ECSB 4x4's. Would love one with a manual trans but that's a LONG SHOT! What worries me is that i have never had a GAS tow rig. I tow my Comanche with 1 tons and 39.5" tires on an all steel 18' trailer maybe 4 times a years tops. A 20' Stratos bass boat and a 22' Lowe deckboat. The only time the camper would be pulled is if the lake floods or the camper needs work. What i'm getting at is- Am i crazy for thinking of doing this?? lol Also do you think a 6.0 would fill my needs or would i be happier with the 8.1? This is the truck.
