Sounds like a good tow rig. If you don't mind me asking, how much? To compare, we just got a 99 SD XLT 4x4 with the 7.3L auto for $8500. It had a few dings in the bed and a 5th wheel attachment, but it was just installed and only towed with a few times. It had 149k on it and had the tranny done at 125 (supposedly- no paperwork). Only thing done to it was a chip. Been to NJ with it and it has given no problems so far. If it is an auto, be sure to snoop around it for any signs of being apart. Any signs of sluggishness going into gear? The trans is the weakest part of the truck.
