They blew up the 4.3, then smashed it with hammers.  ;)

Blow up a 4.3? Impossible. :pee:

I think GMC is going to be the first to go. As soom as I fix the AC, it will sell like hot potatoes.

A 2000 Durango, 5.9, 2wd, would actually be a reasonable vehicle. Except the 15 MPG highway rating.

Schit, might as well get a Caravan. Dogevan.

I'm seriously talking myself into a Doge Caravan ... 01-07 year, with the 3.8.

I have this place... it's like a house, and I live in it.

NADA retail values for my GMC:

Low
$1,580
   
Average
$3,608
   
High
$5,218


so, I should start high and work my way down, right? :lol:

srsly, I was thinking $1800 is fair considering how ugly, but mechanically sound it is

If you had a garage, you could give it a spray job, maybe get a couple more K for it.

Don't they have these rental places nearby where you can do a cheap spray job?

Yeah, but as it turns out, those aren't what I thought they were. At all.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

I'm still thinking about a Caravan, or Town & Country. Why.

Did the 01-07 T&C come standard with the 3.8? I need dat horsepower.

Naw, it had the 3.3, too. Eh, 3.3 is okay. I mean, the cylinder walls are thicker, so that's better for a turbo, right?

Mang, now I'm thining Stow-n-Gow is a good idea. It would be so easy to just camp for a night by flipping all the seats down and rolling out a pad and sleepin bag. And there woild.be plenty of dog room

Stow n Go is awe zum.  Just don't get a VAN with electric rear Stow n Go.  It's frustratingly slow and annoying compared to the 3-step strap setup.

I see all kinds of '05-'07 Grand Caravans with stow-n-gos for $1800-$3000. This is the next big thing. Big things sre coming.

I think I'll put GMC up for sale this weekend, since it will be basically ready to go after a wash and vac. Then I will focus on finishing Ranger and selling it. Then I will buy VAN. Shirley, VAN will need some maintenance and performance modifications. After that, I will swap Dakota's stereo over to VAN, and sell Dakota.
