Looking at a 1994 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins 5sp manual with 330k miles
NO!! I bought my truck with 212K with a brand new front end, New Performance Exhaust manifold, guages, tranny flush and adjustment, and new optimum batteries for 6750 a few scratches on the truck but i will live and the interior is nice..
OK so he did turn up the fuel pump he also changed the timing in the engine to 18 degrees. The lift pump was changed to an airdog 150 pump that is mounted on the frame rail. He also put in a volcan draw straw in the tank with 1/2in fuel lines.
The engine cabable of 500k as long as its has been maintained well, the tranny can last a while to if they are taken care of, I have 236K on my auto and its going strong. 3-5K is where I think it belongs, because you can buy alot nicer and lower miles for that price of 9 grand... I paid 6750 for mine with 212K on it, and a new front end...
