If you've got a couple grand of 'other' work that should be done, then maybe the re-man route is the way to go.

I guess it all depends on how much you're willing/can afford to spend at this point.

SIDE NOTE: Bravo for hitting 280K!

Thanks it hit 250k like 4 years ago, and has not been used much the last few years. But what they want for nice 4 door duramax's... 7k to keep what i have thats also paid for makes sense, just cant afford to replace the old girl
