I've had 2 of them, first one was a 2001, 24v 5 speed, 2500. I worked the snot out of it. Decent all around truck. I did quite a bit of work to it. Did ok til 150,000. At 150K put a front end in it. That was 3500 bucks. At 165K had to put a head on it, truck had never been hot on the gage but the head was blue and warped/cracked. Puking oil out of the radiator overflow bottle. Put injectors in it while the head was off and then had to put a pump on it. All of that and the the clutch started slipping. For what the head and injection work cost I could have bought a 460 long block, new, in a crate. I sold it with 289K on it for 10. It needed a transmission and a set of bearings in the front differential. Got about 17 mpg stock, 16 with +40 injectors.
Bought a 99 for the same money, 3500, 11 foot flat bed. So far its been a good truck. Nothing done to it but the front end so far. What Ive learned is that even stock, if you work them hard, put a pyro, boost, and fuel pressure gage rack on them. It surprising how hot the pyro will run in a long hard pull, even when the truck never lets on like its running hot up top.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
