Past Ontario Chapter Leader
Wife and I have been toying with the idea of trading our 3055RL and have been looking around at other models. I found a dealer that has 2 Landmarks for me to look at and we went to see them on sunday. While I was there I spotted an 05 chev 3500 crew cab dually that looked absolutely mint. The truck is equipped the same as my 2500 HD with about the same mileage. I took it for a drive and liked it a lot. Would make my decision on a trailer much easier as I would not have to worry so much about weight issues. Dealer looked at mine and wanted $15000.00 difference. I near choked!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Truck has done nothing but pull a huge Escalade so it has seen some hard miles. Oil was down a quart or so and black as all get out. Top rad hose was collapsed (sign of overheating on an LLY), seemed to shift ok but different than mine (maybe a different rear ratio, they did not know what it was), would have to change out the turbo mouthpiece ( did all that on mine already) , front end was pulling big time to the right and the brakes were a tad spongy. All would be repaired by dealership I was assured. Wife said she liked it (for what it was) but that I knew what I had in my truck and did not know what I would be getting in the bigboy. I walked away from it ( price difference alone was reason enough). Nice truck though.
