    Hurricane to La Mesa may prove to be a bit of a challenge!!

    Seriously; if you look at the older trucks and find one that has been well cared for (and documented) they really will go a long time.  Mrs simicrintz's vehicle is diesel as well and uses DEF; try to avoid a vehicle that uses DEF if you find a diesel.  I could replace my truck with a new one for around $80K, or I could spend the occasional few dollars on it as needed to keep the old gal running-I choose the latter!

    Good luck in your search!!

    2005 Duramax 2500.  Bought it new, sold it to friend that last time diesel went crazy ('07 as I recall) and bought it back from him about 7 years ago; won't ever sell it again.  Turned 285,000 miles today.  Chipped (450 HP) and lifted and it will pull anything I throw at it (and I pull a lot of trailers).  This is pre DEF.  Put in an alternator and just finally had the trans rebuilt; other than that nothing but oil changes (and one set of brakes).  May be more than you want/need but will be the last truck you'll need to buy and you won't regret having the power (side note; filled up today-282 miles on the odo and it took 16 gallons; not bad for a 6,000 pound vehicle!).

    My buddy did sort out the 500, it was the main ground wire not grounded well enough so he's getting a better grounding cable, and going to make his own grounding point :)

    What year is his bike?  There was a thread on here some time back about the seat sitting on the ground and messing things up.  I have some pics (somewhere!) if that's the place he's having trouble that I'll dig up if needed.
