I have the identical truck in a 1998.5. Very similar modifications. I paid 9500 for mine with 160,000 miles on it. I would say its a little over priced. But thats entirely my opinion.

That is WAY over priced. Mine is an 01 with only 70,000 miles and KBB only puts mine at $12,000. With that many miles its just not worth it.

You gotta remember aftermarket mods don't make the truck worth anymore. People think because they put on 10k in upgrades that a truck costing 9k will be worth 19k it doesn't work like that.

Too much money for too many miles.

i would be comfortable buying that truck in the 7000-7500 MAYBE. depending on what the truck looks and runs like after driving. thats still a lot of miles, cummins or not. still gotta worry about the truck parts not just engine-wise
