So im goin to look at a 1993 Cummins this Sunday. the truck has 250,000 miles on it. the engine has 120k and the rebuilt tranny has 60k.

THE GOOD: the truck has POD injectors, 45 horse i think, a different fuel pin, 3200 governor spring, bigger waste gate, 700 horse rated clutch, ex cab. has 2 inch lift with new 37" tires. it came from Florida so it has no rust or rot. it has a 8'plow, spair door, grill, spair tire, and a spair tale gate.

THE BAD: brake pedal is hard to push down, tail lights stay on, power windows dont work, passenger door doesnt open. the truck has a spair door. needs a battery and he says it has a push button start? idk if there is a key not to sure. the truck is 2 hours away and he said i probably should not drive it 2 hours because it has only been a yard truck for the past couple years.

What do you guys think? anything will be help full!

 

Well first red flag to me is push button start? So its either stolen, no title, or they lost the key and used it as a farm truck and quit insuring it etc., id find out if the ignition is still intact, clean title, check the vin if and when you look at it, also check for blow-by, oil levels, front end parts tight and not loose.

i know i am not sure about the push button. ill ask him again. i hasent been on the road in a few years just been used as a yard truck. right ill check blow by oil and front end etc. 4 sure. What worries me is the push button and brake pedal is real hard he said. whats making me want it is no rust and has some mods but nothing over kill

 

Take it from a 21 yr old who has bought and sold many vehicles. Don't talk yourself into buying a truck because of one thing that out weighs the other dozen issues. Well if it hasn't been on the road in a few years id be skeptical if it'll ever be road worthy without lots of money. Just my. 02

i talked to him again tonight.he said it has a regular key start still and that works fine. so im not to sure. and ya i know what you mean. its hard to tell well it really needs and how much its all gonna cost without having it. might just wait fora nice second gen

 

he told you it had a push button start then now says it has a key ignition? confused:
