buy new means less down time on the project
If resurfaced - make sure the shop can do a 2 step cut.
heavy flywheel means more torque but less acceleration..
difference isnt huge but its noticieable in back to back drives

Or get one already resurfaced from Marlin or somebody. I don't see a need for a new one, but the one from Marlin makes your downtime less plus you know it's done right.....

Unless the flywheel is bad, maybe cracked or has been overheated, just have it resurfaced. Any good machine shop will be able to do a stepped grind and it's much cheaper. That said, I'd love a heavier flywheel but couldn't justify the cost. I paid ~$25 to have mine resurfaced and they replaced the locating dowels.

How much do they want for that? I've been lookin' for one for my V6. Need to offset the weight of 35x12.5s, more torque is good.

IMHO - its not a LOT of torque its a smidge...
It actually makes the truck feel more like a slug.
Basically it works like this.
On a moderatly steep highway on ramp.... about 1/2 mile long
With a stocker "resurfaced" flywheel I can floor it and there are smiles
With a HD flywheel I can floor it and... it gets there.
BUT
On something like I70 going up Eisenhower Tunnel... the HD flywheel lets me keep it in 4th gear about oh another 1/2 mile furhter up the hill....
