TopKick with 3116 Cat, and Fuller 10 speed???
 
I am thinking about swapping out my current 2004 GMC durmax/alison for one of these. It was listed on here before and have a chance to swap.

What do you guys think? I know the topkick is work more, but you have to have the RIGHT buyer. so its not something you can just sell quickly. like a regular loaded 2500.

how do you think it will tow i know it will stop better but that cat does not have as mush raiting as a duramax, but its also has a fuller 10 speed tranny like a big rig!

4X4 as well.

Id go for it as long as its got air brakes.the 10spd will make up for the power and it can always be turned up.im looking for a similar project since i just sold my Fummins but im not sure what i want to start with.

the 3116 are oil leakers and known for head gasket problems..200k expect to do bearings..

Is it the white one that was 25k

mittens 03-23-2013 04:19 PM

Yes it is the white one. Does not look like I am doing the swap now.

Also being told the 3116 is something to stay away from.

another option is a singled out semi. I have a freightliner fld120 with cummings n-14 and 10spd with the small integrated sleeper. to pull my mud bogs with weighing 21k loaded on trailer. Took out matress and put a jacknife sofa in so can seat in back and still drop to small bed for my kiddo to rest. These rigs are cheap to get into, from 6000 up depending on options with them. Was pulling with a dually and will not go back to it.... Also have it insured as non commercial/personal use and full coverage is cheaper than my dually is...

I called them.and they said they sold it for 25k?

The guy at pear 57 had it.

The new owner traded a h1, for it. And now is selling

indysupra 03-24-2013 07:39 PM

how much is he asking. I think the 25 was out of line.

mittens 03-24-2013 07:56 PM

He had it listed for 35.... But was contemplating the trade for my truck.

I was not sure about it as on paper the truck is worth some more but in reality it's a rare and hard to sell item.
