Anyone thinking of selling their F650?

I know these kind of trucks don't get used much but something to consider is maintenance/breakdown work. Not sure if things have changed since I looked at F650s with Cummins/Cat power but before the only dealerships that would service them were the commercial dealerships which were few and far between compared to regular dealerships. Being in central Illinois, I kept being told the closest dealership for maintenance was in downtown St. Louis on Broadway (which isn't exactly a nice area). Nowadays you can get a F650 or Silverado 4500/5500 with standard diesel power (PowerStroke/Duramax) that can be serviced by any regular dealership. They may not pull through the mountains as good but being able to get an emergency repair without needing a commercial dealership is worth a lot.
A local guy just picked up a new Silverado 4500 as a daily driver and I have to say it's a really nice truck for the little bit of money it costs over a new 3500.

Well basically, it is a small semi without a trailer. Made for weight on the ass end. We used to call that "bobcat" when running w/o a trailer. I would think air bags could soften the unloaded ride.
