    if you use it, dont need the money and truly enjoy it, keep it

    Keep it. That 8ft bed will come in handy for the remodel. Hint: doesn't matter if you get the SC or not, you're still going to be doing that remodel. :thumbsup:

    I think you need to decide if she's getting neglected because of broken parts, you've just not been driving it, you've been occupied with other things, etc.

    If you just haven't driven it enough because you have a different daily or it's just been sitting, decide what you see for the future of that truck. Can you see yourself passing it to a Son or Daughter one day? Do you enjoy the reliability of the truck, easy to maintain?

    In my opinion I'd keep the truck, its got a decent engine and a good history; your first love.
    You could supercharge your younger truck and decide its meh, or you might regret it...then it could be hard to find another clean 12v Cummins Dodge Crew Cab.

    Id keep em both if you can and enjoy them both for what they are. When new trucks fail, that cummins will still be goin.

    If you own it outright and you like it then keep it. As torn as you are about selling it, you will regret getting rid of it soon after the sale is done. Been there done that and have been kicking myself ever since!

    You obviously love it and its taken care of you, keep it and maybe drive each truck every now and then.

    Every time you drive it you'll be glad you kept it, even if its a weekend driver!

    I'd say to keep it, unless of course you want to sell it to me.

    I answered no just by reading the title. Once it's gone it's gone. If you have an attachment to the truck you should keep.

    I would keep it. Your expenses should be way down if you're quarantined like most people. Keep saving, do the kitchen remodel to make your wife happy and supercharge down the road if you want.

    Those 12v cummins bring stupid money these days. I know of some that have sold for 10k and close to 20 in perfect shape. Keep it unless you don’t have a use.

    NOOOOO! That's one of the good diesels. Before the EPA ruined them with DEF and such. Keep it, and love it.

    Give her the kitchen remodel. Keep the truck and get your SC. You’ll both be happy.

    i'll play the other side. sometimes you have to cherish but let go of the past. i'm boosted and i'd do it because...well..supercharger...but i'd make sure i pass it off to the right buyer. maybe some guy and his son or daughter in high school.

    Don’t let it rot. Sitting is absolutely the worst thing for a car. Let another enthusiast enjoy it!
