New Truck
 

My neighbor is trying to sell his cummins before he goes off to the marines. Its a 2001 dodge cummins with 238k on it. Rear end and tranny were rebuilt at 215k. Has banks intake and banks tuner in it. He is only asking 6500. Is this a good deal or are there other potential problems i should look for?

Thats not too bad of a price for the mileage, and depending on the body condition. Id check the front end out, and if he is running a tuner make sure he has some sort of upgraded lift pump or the Injection pump might need some attention in the near future :tu:

thanks. well it turns out its an edge programmer with an attitude tuner. high ram intake, brakes tie rods and ball joints were all just done. I just dont wanna run into any major problems since i need to pull a trailer to deliver firewood and cant have any huge mechanical breakdowns

If he has a tuner on it and did not change the stock lift pump then I would figure on at least investing the $600 in one... Just figure that into the price and negotiate from there...

Yep, a fuel pressure gauge and upgraded lift pump is a must. Even on a bone stock truck. A $500-$600 investment can save $1000+ and downtime later on.
