    Tranny problem/question 01 ram 3500 dually automatic

    Is it a good engine?

    Hi, Looking to buy a 2000 Chevrolet 2500 turbo 6.5, auto with 55 K miles for $13,500, extended cab, short box unfortunately. Are they reliable engines? I've always had Ford, and not familiar at all with Chev. It's a used truck dealer, and quick to point out that's the asking price.
