Pretty much did the same thing in 05' with my new Silverado. I was buying a new truck every year or two running on the credit hamster wheel. I bought a OBS 2000 crew cab for $5000.00 cash. I drove it for 3 years and sold it for $6000.00 to buy my current truck for $7500.00 cash which was a 190K mile Cummins Dodge. I'm going on owning it for almost 3 years and have 217K miles most with a trailer behind it. I have had to replace a A/C hose, fix the starter, and put an injection pump on it for a total of about $1500.00
