Hate to do this, but I have come to the realization our family needs a bigger truck. 2 adults, 3 small kids plus 2 dogs doesn't play well with a ext cab truck. I have another tow rig in the wings, so this has to go. I know values on used 6.5s aren't great, but I'm hoping for the best. I bought the truck bone stock 1 1/2 years ago, so all mods and maintenance have been performed within the last 10k. Always has good oil pressure, I have ran synthetic 5W40 since I've owned it, changed every 3k. Fuel filters changed every 5k and 2 stroke oil in every tank.

Trans seeps from extension housing. Loses less than 1 quart every 6 mo.
Clutch jumpy when hot. Still shifts fine, but on takeoff it jerks.
