My wife kept complaining that my 2001 Chevy 2500HD 4x4 duramax was too high even though I adding running boards ...well it does have a 6" lift and 315's toyos ATs.. so I started looking around for a something that could pull my boat and be a famiy car the wife would enjoy. Then I came across the H3s and when I found out there was a V8 version....the hunt began.
So I figured the alphas were in the $11k+ range... most I came across where closer to $14k... Well I considered it and would eventually just sell the duramax and have the alpha. Then luck came my way... I was able to pickup a very clean alpha for $6600. Its in very good shape but it does have high miles 200k. Im ok with the miles...it runs amazingly well...and you know the trans and engine are easier to rebuild and get parts for.... I did all the oil changes.. diffs, trans service and transfer case..and engine..put some bilsteins 5100 all around. It has some very good front tires Hankook dynapros ATs in 285's but the rears are some off brand and need replacement.
I like this truck... just ordered a Superchip Flashpaq and it arrives Tuesday...hehehe and the fun begins.
