Jay, different states have different taxes... Some states charge high for your HOUSE... some charge more for LAND... some charge for CARS, TRUCKS, BOATS... etc.. Depends on how the state gets its income. In Illinois you pay a tax on the value of a truck when you BUY it... Then you get a $100 liscence and need insurance each year. In Kansas and so others, you pay about $1000. EVERY YEAR for the value of your truck ( assume about $60K)... then you need to get insurance also. In some states you live in a apartment and don't have a car... They STILL WANT YOUR MONEY, so they have to have different kind of taxes.

That's the reason I bought an 02 Chevy 3/4 that is rust free. Took me a year to find one. Property tax, sales tax, tax taxes, rust free tax etc. Still got tags for $800. Full coverage insurance is $40 for 3 months.

$40 for three months of full coverage?!  That would cost over $125 PER MONTH here!

Had a weekend place in MO for several years. Every year they would send me a form to fill out and list everything they could tax, livestock including fowl, boat trailers, anything with wheels or an engine and you could eat it except your dog or cat, everything.... Don't fill it out and they would charge you for that too. Not sure if it was an out of state thing or not.

Figuring if you go new a vehicle would be around $50,000 to replace what you have .
My 2000 GMC 3/4 ton 4WD - I just replaced all the fuel lines on , brake lines about 2 years back , just repaired front differential bearings and now replacing the transfer case .
Figure to replace that truck would be around $55,000 or so and figure even at couple thousand to keep it running is still cheaper than new - just put tires on it also another $550 - but with 96,000 it might run a few more years .
Then figuring I just replaced 3 injectors on it and a coil pack last year still cheaper than new .
If it gives up any more to rust - I have a 82 Chev out back that will have a 6.0 engine in it along with 4WD drive from a 77 Chev 4WD running gear frame that i saved also

Cheapest truck you will ever own is the one you are driving right now. I have an old one. 26 years old in about six more months. I would not even blink an eye to drop a new crate engine in it tomorrow if needed. Fix it.

Get yourself a 2002 - 7.3 you will never be sorry. I have 2001, bought in 2003 2 wheel drive. I haul skid steers all over the country, have 22' gooseneck and I haul 2 - wd45s one gas and one diesel to tractor pulls and shows from Minnesota down to Kansas and to Iowa. I am going on to 270 thousand miles. the only large repair was a transmission overhaul early on after I bought it. other than that it has only been tires and batteries. O ya I had to fix the radio volume control.
buying a ready to go truck will give you a lot, a lot of free time to do other fun things.
Wish you luck, and Merry Christmas
