I'm getting a hand-me down free car, which is cheaper for me than my 275 payment on my truck, so i'm selling it. I love the truck, but cant justify paying 3500 a year on payments when i can have a nice saab with low miles for free. GM made good bodies, average engines...

I need to get a front end Alignment. I've got a 3500 dually long bed crew cab, and most alignment racks dont fit. I got a quote of 120 to do one. What do the rest of the crew cab long bed guys pay?? I'm talking toe only here...

I bought his truck with 119000 mils on it, it has a new pump at 93,000 under warranty. I put over $4000 since i bought it - new rotors and pads rear, new brake booster, new cat (dont buy a truck unless you know it has a cat still in it... it cost like 800 bucks overall!!) Bought Kennedy PMD relocator (for good measure) Turbo master. K&N filter charger... I paid wholesale at the dealer auction $11,500 in february. It's got 130,000 on it now. I'm asking $11,500 for it. With the Heat Sink and Electronic Turbo Master, That's fair... 1998 k3500 dually 6.5 .

it depends.

If it had the knockouts punched already, then it usually is a $60-80 job. But if the knockouts havent been punched out, then $120 seems about right.

Any commercial truck tire place should be able to align it. Car places (pep boys, NTB, Firestone, Etc.) probably wont be able to.
