My Chevy 3500HD, great for hauling the broke down Bonneville hearse home

It is a 95 with a 6.5 liter turbo diesel, standard tranny. It won't just pull stumps, it'll pull the whole tree down, roots and all.

Diesel Torque, FTW!!! My dad has an 05 2500HD with the Duramax, i know it's apples to oranges, but that thing has torque everywhere!!!

This is the first diesel I have ever owned and was surprised by the tremendous low end torque, but also surprised about how quick it is on the throttle, even more so that it goes from a standstill to 85 as quick as it does. The truck as well as my Bonneville, and the lawnmower are being run on Shell Rotella oil. Everything that I have ever owned has been run on Rotella including my since long departed Chevette. More than once I have started off in 3rd gear in the truck and it never complained one bit. I paid $4,000 for it with 136,000 miles on the odometer, it had just been retired after 10 years service with a nursery who took extreme care of it and because of it having been so well taken care of, I still sank another $4,000+ into it. I should think it will last a 20 more good years. Thanx
