overhaul will be anywhere in the neighborhood of 25-30k depending on hourly rates at the shop and what all you do back in jan last year my dad overhauled his cm870 for 30k that was all balancing and ujoints in driveline, new head, new cams.

its all going to come down to what is still in spec to be reused on some items.

At the end of it you know all there is to know about your truck vs spending 30-50k for a used truck you know nothing about or 110-150k for a new truck that may or may not cost you money just by the downtime it maybe have under warranty.

I was going to suggest looking on truck paper. I looked it up just to see and im surprised at the miles and prices.

25k gets you 700k miles - 900k miles on truck and motor.

If the head is reusable then that's a big plus!.

It's sort of justifiable to spend 30k to replace anything major first, its just cheaper long term wise. I mean you could get by for a very long time with spending 20k. Sometimes you just never know but you gotta be prepared for anything these days.

You can sell the truck at w.e value you want, most of these dealerships are doing just that!. I would just insure it for 35k-40k.
