Looking into used trucks... hopefully a D-Max or maybe a Cummins

anywho... my price range is around 20k... probably a little less i have found a couple of 03s and 04s but the mileage is around 120k... i'm used to gassers and that seems high... but its not a gasser

i just trying to wrap my brain around spending that much for a truck with that many miles. basically i'm wondering how long i can expect the truck to last. i've heard around 400k on the cummins, but i would prefer a gm so im looking for a milage guess-tamate.

thanks

depends on how its driven but 120k is not very high. probably get another 150K out of it before parts start wearing out

 

I recently purchased a 2002 2500 ext cab 4x4 6spd manual and it has 278K logged on its clock! It starts and runs but has a miss issue above idle.

 

start a thread about it in the LB7 section

 

mine is sitting at 148k, replacing head gaskets right now cause i like to push things to the max and the 01 head gasket wasnt the best one out there

 

250,000miles is the supposed overhaul interval for these engines.

 

Depends on your maintenance. If you aren't lazy on changing fluid intervals and go the x-tra protection step with bypass filtration you will get a few 100k miles for free.

Commercial trucks fleet operators know the secrets to get those additional miles.

Thats just gettin broke in for a Cummins. If you want longevity, go with the Cummins
