    Talking in the market for a new diesel work truck!

    Due to my line of work, I am in need of a real work truck! The suburban isn't cutting it. So, I'm looking for 3/4 ton or 1 ton Diesel pick-up truck. It has to have either a pick up bed, or utility bed. Also has to be a crew cab (to fit employees and babies).

    NO 6.0 FORDS!

    I'm going to be using this truck for my home improvement business, and that consists of pushing the white stuff around during the winter months. My budget is $8k - $12k. The better deal i get on the truck = more $$$ in my snow plow budget.

    Let me know if you fellas know of any deals.

    How's that for spelling and grammar SPELLING PLOLICE? haha I'm getting good at typing left handed.

    Being an avid diesel guy, (i own one too) The only diesel to own IMO is a Cummins. I just wish the suspension was better on my 06 Cummins.

    You begin your riding career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

    Cummins is a great block for sure... now if only they could get their frames up to par. Hey big i thought you got yourself a f350 with the 7.3.
