Gas is for washing parts
As the title states I am giving this some serious thought, my 95 is in good shape with a low mile engine and t case but the rest of the drivetrain has 420000 km on it I have an opportunity to buy a complete wrecked 02 dmax truck for 3000, or just buy the axles and upgrade my burb from the 3.42 gears that are in it now. I could probably get the 2 axles for about 500. I'm not sure if it is a worthwhile adventure, I plan to tow a 6000lb travel trailer. The dmax truck has 3.73 gears in it. Will that along with an upgraded turbo make it doable in the hills,will the tranny last (4l80e) once I tow with it? Or would I better off taking the dmax route with the Allison and the bigger axles and have basically a 95 dmax burb like thefermanator ? I don't plan on selling the truck in the near future so either way I'm willing to invest in it, but , just want to do it the smartest way possible.
