Looking at this Cummins - Want opinions
Hey guys,
New to DieselBombers. But I'm looking at buying this truck -
LIFTED MANUAL 5.9L CUMMINS DIESEL 2004 DODGE RAM 3500 4x4 For Sale | LiftedTruckz
It's a pretty penny, but a stickshift with low miles. And I live in the NW so trucks up here tend to be a little spendier. But, what do you guys think? Seem like a good deal for a truck that would take some modifying??

Id try to knock em down a couple thousand, but check the tie rods, and ask them if the ball joints are good, check the blow by. Take the oil fill cap off turn it upside down and see if it will blow it around. Ask them if its ever had water in the fuel system, and ask if they can check the injectors... Because the injectors on these common rails have high fuel pressure and water will destroy these injectors. But othet than that it looks like a good truck... All common rails have an electronic waste gate with the 6.7 They went to the VGT Turbos. Its nothing to fret over.
