Going to try for a new tow vehicle

Starters are expensive. Our here in the sticks, we let ours run more than just starting it more than necessary.
If auto, let it warmup in neutral like the old Mopars. But my Cummns Ram is a 95 thats what 27 years old?

Correct .... when you get a decent price on trade in it makes the purchase price of the new one not so bad. when I ordered my new 1500 last year the dealer gave me a trade price based on pictures. When the truck I ordered didn't arrive for months I purchased a different 1500 model off the lot that had just came in. when they saw my trade I don't think they were to happy even though I gave a good description. My 08 H.Q.C. trade had its problems even with only 55,000 miles : the usual rust starting over the rear wheels, I repaired a rusted trans line a month before trade in, a rusted thru brake line I just repaired with a union as I couldn't get the brake line removed from the caliper and I couldn't even get the brake bleeder free so I just turned it in that way with working brakes but a low pedal, there was a dent over the tailgate latch. I don't think they liked the cat back exhaust either .. but they had no problem selling it a few weeks later. My 08 was a good truck that towed well but it was time for it to go.. I really like my 21 H.Q.C. I don't drive it a lot ( just turned over 4,000 miles since getting it the end of last June ) mainly just to tow , it is comfortable and plenty powerful for my use.
