Just a quick note of thanks to everyone that lent their time, talent, and knowledge in my somewhat frantic search for a truck. I've won an ebay bid on what looks to be a very nice 2001 GMC 1500HD 4x4 rustfree texas crewcab loaded with all the goodies, regretably not a diesel, but it will suit my needs. I'll be back to post a link and pics as soon as its in my driveway. :)

Congrats!

Well Max, I made the trip from Dallas to Philly in the Ebay truck. Very nice, though it does have the two most common 6.0L GMC problems, slapping cylinder on start up and pesky fuel gauge sender wackiness. other than that it's a mean running machine and should work out just fine. FWIW I got over 16 mpg on some of the stints. thanks for all the input
