Seeing as the OD apparently doesn't work under 40mph, which I don't think it's supposed to do anyway, and it needs new GPs I wouldn't pay 2000 for it but that's just me, keep in mind the cost for a set of good GPs such as Berus or Motorcraft ZD-9s is gonna be around $100 depending where you go.

I didn't see his many miles it had on it but that could be your deciding factor.

It in regRds to your question yes it would be worth it, hope this helps

The truck either has 94K miles, or 194K miles. (The lady said she couldn't tell and that's all I got from the pics.)

PS. What does GP stand for?

GP is short for glow plug, and whatever you do stay AWAY from Autolite or Champion GPs, they are known for swelling up and possibly bursting in side the head causing chunks of tip to get stuck in your cylinders.
