I always wanted a diesel truck. I am only 17 and I finally got one :D I got a 1998 GMC 2500 6.5 Turbo Diesel Dark blue regular cab with only 95k on the clock.. Did I get a good deal at $6,500 Nothing needs immediate attention. I also understand these engines were made by Detriot Diesel Correct?

That's a nice looking truck. If it runs as good as it looks, I'd say yeah, you got a good deal. Good luck with it and spend some time here. There's a lot to be learned...

That's true, I am an Elite poster over on Benzworld forums and I know that these forums have a lot ot offer and I want to know exactly what needs to be done with this beast. It runs like a top.
