2005 Chevy 2500HD extended cab longbox 4x4, 6.6L Duramax / ZF6 6 speed manual transmission, NP261 floor shift t-case. Rear gov-loc, power locks, manual windows, AC, base model dual zone heater controls and sound system. Approx 80 000 miles on the odometer.
She has one glaring issue however. The transfercase front output and front pinion bearings are both beyond shot, major slop in the both of them. The dealer has had the truck since about January, and isn't about to move it any time soon becuase of the damage to the 4x4 stuff.
Besides the shot bearings, the truck is in extremely good mechanical condition. Rear axle is solid, good bearings, IFS / steering is tight, and well maintained. Brakes are very good, and she has no shimmys or shakes all the way up to the speed limiter. Clutch was swapped out with a dual friction disc assembly and a solid flywheel to stand up to the Duramax, it has never been chipped, and is bone stock all around.
What do you guys figure it'd be worth? I am easily able to source the parts and repair it myself, there are a ton of these trucks in the wrecking yards around here full of the stuff I need for it. Since the truck has the ZF6 instead of the Allison, the t-case is the common / cheap one vs the expensive one behind the 6 speed auto.
I have an 07 LBZ Duramax reg cab / long box with the 6 speed auto with 50 000 miles on it now in the last two years. I paid 30k for the truck, and would like to see it last a bit longer. I commute about 1000 miles a week as I come on and off shift up North, and the miles are racking up quick. I also don't want to be paying full comprehensive coverage on the truck every month with it sitting 4 days out of the week, nor do I want to run it during the winter (-70 is fine with a beater, but I don't wanna do that to my nice truck!)
What says CK5? What would she be worth to you guys?
