    not stoked about it but glad to be getting back into a truck. $10000 for a clean 02 with 3 yr old new factory frame with 100000 miles on it. Not where i envisioned myslef being a month before the inspection man gave me the bad news but not as painful as it could have been i guess. Hopefully get 4-5 years out of this one wiht some value still left on her and see what happens with the new frames as they get older. Could nt replace my old truck with a new one and was scared sh$ttless of buying 2008-2010 because of the frame issue.

    What happened to your old truck? That would be an ideal rig for me to steal a body and bed from!

    Thanks just hoping to get 4-5 year out of her with no issues and some value and than will be looking o upgrade. The 2011 frame replacement was the big draw. Will wait and see how the frame issue plays out with the 2nd gens and hopefully upgrade but feel like i got decent value here without breaking the bank.
