Considering first diesel buy
Been considering a diesel for some time now and have been doing some research mostly on ford's 7.3l and the 5.9l cummins I-6 12v. For the cummins, it would mostly be a daily driver with hardly any towing (for now at least). I'd assume it'd hold up well if it's maintained properly and not worked incredibly hard but was just looking for some first hand experience on the matter. Thanks for any input.

Also, I have found this 1996 for $6800. Lots more to find out about it, but looks pretty decent to me. 1996 dodge ram 2500 4x4 cummins Anything specific to look out for when buying one of these 12v's or certain problems to look out for?

That's a good price. As a daily driver that engine will last forever, and down there the truck probably will too. The main thing to be concerned with is the Killer Dowel Pin, do some reading on it here so you know what to ask. If it hasn't been addressed, it should be. With 232k on it I'd think it would have come out by now if it was going to, but you just never know with them. It could be any second, or never. Best to eliminate it as a potential problem. Sounds like most of the nickle and dime you to death stuff has been done, at least for a little while.
