my first 12v. help?
well due to lack of money and resources im thinking of trading my truck for a 1997 12v with 5.5 inch fabtech lift, ats turbo aurora 3000, new ats tranny, new head, pulled fuel plate, pumps 2 degree advanced, ats intake horn, torque converter, front end has been gone through. its got 350k on it. also the maintance has all been done on time its been previously owned by a diesel mechanic. i know 350k isnt bad for these cummins but what can i expect to replace in the near future? ive done lots of research and what not and to me it seams like all of the main problems have been addressed. im going to ask about the kdp tomorrow when i talk to the guy. any info would be much appreciated :c:

kdp is the biggest thing to find out first but with that many miles on it im sure its been done a long time ago
|
I wouldnt worry bout the motor its the rest of the truck i would look at real closely

and for me STRICTLY IN MY OPINION the ATS stuff is junk I have seen some first hand and heard alot of bad story's about ATS notice there not even a sponsor on this site (there's a good reason why) but just a rough guess he will probably want 8-12K for that truck? look around before you buy and always remember that if you buy a truck WITH all the mods done to it and the driver/mechanic was a dumb ass your investment can cost you ALOT of money real quick I would look for a stock truck with lower miles and mod it your self Brice |

X3 on the ATS crap. We tried to put a 3 piece manifold on a buddys 12 valver and the dam thing didnt even fit. the once side was pressed in to far. Kinda irritating if you pay that much money for something and have to "make it fit".

hey everybody thanks for all the feed back, it helped out a lot! the guy i was gonna meet up with never called the day we were going to meet up. But from what ya'll said it sounds like its for the better. The more he told me about the truck the more of a crappy deal it sounded like. Door didnt open from inside an just little stuff i dont wanna deal with. Thanks again tho all the info, helped me out a lot :tu:

what are u trading for it? the truck in ur sig?
|
it was a thought, but now he never called back or nothing.

no offence to you and your truck :c:
but if he were trading you that for the truck in your sig there is one of 2 things here 1. His truck is a TOTAL pos with no "ATS" stuff on it no "new tranny" ect 2. he is the biggest dump ass I have ever seen and needs to be slapped ---AutoMerged DoublePost--- Just look at your first post here see if you can spot it well due to lack of money and resources im thinking of trading my truck.... 1993 ford f250 10 inch lift on 39.5 TSL's, gasser for now For a.... 1997 12v with 5.5 inch fabtech lift, ats turbo aurora 3000, new ats tranny, new head, pulled fuel plate, pumps 2 degree advanced, ats intake horn, torque converter, front end has been gone through. its got 350k on it |
