Whats wrong with his? It one of those things that seem to good to be true. Find out where he got the injectors from, they might be from Pensacola diesel and those only last 6 months if they work at all. I would also be leery of the stock transmission behind an efi live tuned engine. Just my .02.

IMO that is a lot of miles for a dmax. Your Cummins will definetly out last that dmax. Guess it all depends on what you want. I personally would not do it, but best of luck to you on what ever you choose.

not so much in my opinion even with the miles you got on urs i would still keep it. a dmax with that many miles on it seems in my opinion like a ticking time bomb. just my .02 take it for what its worth
