Any idea were i can find one. Ive been looking all over the internet to find one and most i have seen are even more money with nearly nothing done to them or there pos. To be honest id rather have a stocker if i could so i can build it up like i want.

I saw this truck looks great! As other members have stated i would look into it a bit more though, there's not enough detail. Personally i'm a bigger fan of buying a stock engine and modding it yourself, so if something goes wrong you can know how it was done, and how to fix it as well, also you'll know the engine hasn't been beat to ****.. My friend bought a 02 cummins, the engine was modded out when he bought it, a month later he cracked the head, and then it happened 2 months after that, its just better off doing things yourself. But an amazing engine is definitely the cummins sometimes i prefer the 12v because its more mechanical, but hey to each their own both are great engines!

15 k for that truck there must be an issue. I would be safer and buy something that you can look at for a cheaper proce and do the same mods and save the headache

a buddy of mine has a 02 dodge with the 6 speed in real good shape here in arkansas if your interested. good luck on your search. only buy the truck you absolutly want. when i bought my truck off ebay it was rust free, ac and heat worked great. got the truck, rusted more than a 99 should have been, ac nor heat worked, and had the 53 block that was cracked, so make sure yu look at it closely before you buy anything. jmo

If I had to do over again I would spend a few extra bucks and get a 03 or 04 Cummins. The CP3 pump on the Common Rails are so much more dependable than the VP44 pumps. Its also cheaper and easier to make power on the Common Rail.

Good Luck in your hunt!!!!!

i also agree on buying a stocker. I bought mine and chipped it with bhaf and exhaust. Its better when you know what is in the truck and it has bee through. But i am looking to sell my 01 now and get another gen 2 and start over.
