I am looking at buying my first truck, the truck is completely perfect for me in everyway. my dad doesn't think it is worth it though becuase it is a 1999 3500 Dodge Cummins dually 24v 5.9L. it has somethings done to it like under glow, glow in the grill, and a super chip. i think the truck is great because i love green which is the color of the under glow and grill and i am looking to know any pros or cons on the actual engine i know quite a bit about it already but am just looking for other point to convince my dad that this truck isn't just for play. anything helps!

 

how many miles on it??

 

149,xxx. it has also been used for pulling things and in races, not street races but official like races.

 

how much?

 

$11,750 but hes willing to negotiate.

 

seems reasonable to me

 

I would pull the intake horn and check the turbo for shaft play. Look underneath for general leaks (rear main, front/rear pinions, t-case, trans, axles). Since you are from WI, like me, you know that the salt kills these trucks so check for the general rusting. Sounds like a good price though.

 

thats what i thought but he says i should have a real reason to own a dually

 

oh well, beg him... haha

 

tell him casue duallys are the ****! (untill you have to buy tires)
