That was one long test drive
 

My family and went from Portland Tn to Temple Tx to pick up a truck this weekend. We left friday at 6:00 pm and got home Sunday at 5:00 p.m.
That is 855 miles one way and on the way back we rented a u-haul trailer and towed our van back.
So the test drive on my new truck was 855 miles and towing 6500 pounds. The only trouble we had was a trucker that was pissed off because we made a wrong turn. After he figured out I was about foot taller and about 75 pounds heavier than him we had no more problem.
So here is a pic of my find. It is a 89 GMC crew cab 4x4 with a 6.2 diesel and a 4 speed. This truck also has tilt,power windows,power locks,cruise,working a/c,and 86k actual miles and i bought it from the second owner.

Hey I saw you at the light on ave M in Temple .I was in my gray, lowererd 84 I turned in front of you at the light. very nice truck btw

Sweet truck! Love the color. I like seeing a nice crew cab, since most ended up being work trucks.

Re: That was one long test drive
 

Thats strange a 4-speed with all those other options. But I guess if it was bought to be a luxury puller than it makes sence.
Wish I could find one of those?

Re: That was one long test drive
 

The person I bought it from said that the original owner, special ordered it from gm.

I seen you, you have a nice truck. I had just bought my truck and was getting back on the interstate.
I am coming back in about a month to pick a 72 lwb from the same guy.

Re: That was one long test drive
 

Man thats one nice truck!!!!
I thought 87 was when they quite making trucks but apparently up to 89 in the #3500s in the 4 door version still were built like the old ones?
Nice clean truck I would leave it the way it is.
Hey does it have the dana 60 up front? 205 transfer case?
Really nice truck!

Re: That was one long test drive
 

yes it has a dana 60 front and a 14 bolt rear and it does have a np205.

Re: That was one long test drive
 

Good looking tow rig!

Re: That was one long test drive
 

Does it have a turbo? Friend of mine has a banks turbo on his 6.2. Pretty much doubled the horsepower. I think it has a cold air kit to but its about the same power as a stock 350. Gets great fuel mileage to.
Sure think your truck is worth it.

Re: That was one long test drive
 

I wish it had a turbo. as soon as i can save the money it will get one.
