Now the 97 is the best year for these 99 they did another fuel pump which last like 90 thousand and the poof expence..... The powerstroke with a decent size trailer, 10. Empty pushing 20. 06 and later you could give me one I would run it till the head bolts blew and then give it back. The 6.0 is junk. Back to the duramax the 01 No!!! then on they got the ducks in a row and well they have done very well for themselves out of the box. There is not alot you can do with them but out of the box they are the best overall. In a van you cant beat the powerstroke pre 06.Any other questions bring it on Baby!! Sorry, for what? Thought that's what I had said, just not so elaborately. _________________________ Ken Schwarz Tricky Truckers, N.J. Van Clan Plus One, Canada Manse Vans, Finland Rebel Vanners, N.J.

Carlton addict Registered: April 30th 2011 9:30 pm Posts: 409 Loc: SC	Well, same idea only this one didn;t have the elaborate "Centurion" fiberglass shell. It was cut right behind aft rear side door, frame extended and a full size steel ford truck dually bed. Along the same lines just the cheaper/work version. It had other mods down the road and looked rough but sounded cool I don't know where he got to? _________________________ SOLD 1984 Chevy G20 solid panel van Factory 6.2 DETROIT DIESEL, 4speed manual, dual A/C, cruise, power windows & locks.
