    yea... ZERO dealer history when i ran it on TIS. so mileage is a question.

    like it never even had the trailer harness recall done.. you'd think youd take it to the dealer for that before selling it....

    Trailer harness recall? What is that -- mine has the factory trailer wiring kit installed.

    I have a 2.7 reg cab auto 4x4 with around 30k miles on it. Think it would be foolish of me to manual swap it or should I leave it original?

    They are getting kinda old now, maybe worth preserving?

    If you plan on selling it and want to see these kinds of $ numbers, then dont.

    If you plan on keeping it and enjoying it then do what you really want with it, swap it. Drive it. Use that truck the way it was meant to be used

    I don't buy into the idea of preserving these things just to show them off, what's the point really unless you want to sell it for top dollar.. Enjoy it and drive it, make it your own

    I prefer to keep the value as I collect cars but I didn't add its getting a frame swap and I am adding AC.

    Strangely no AC even though it wasnt a base truck, DXL or SX off the top of my head. 95 model.

    Much prefer a manual and yeah its going to be my backup vehicle for now.
