Default new to the black smoke world

hi im travis and im looking to get into the diesel world. im looking to buy my first diesel and am looking at a 97 dodge 2500 cummins with a 12 valve for $7000 it has a 186000 miles and 3in lift with 17 inc rims and 33 inch tires. claims he has done maintence regularly and is just starting to see a little rust on the door sills. he also claims that he has had some tuneing done and is at about 300 horse. im wondering if this would be a good truck to buy or am i gonna run in to some major problems with it down the road because of the milage(ex. like are things gonna start to fail because it has over 160,000). i wanna spend under 10,000 if i could. thinkin about going to look at it this weekend so the more adivise on what to look for and ask him the better, its a sharp lookin truck for a 97

Hello Travis,
Welcome to Diesel Bombers!

This site will be a great help to you.

A claim that maintenance has done regularly should be proofed with receipts or a maintenance record.
A truck with 186kmiles isn't new and if it is modified you always can expect some work to be done.
But I'm sure the cummins pro's will chime in and tell you where to have a look at.
Don't buy that truck alone- get some help.
