I am selling my truck soon due to the fear of something else tearing up... The truck has had way too many problems for my likings.

I found a 1998 12v dually with 186000 on the clock, 5 spd, VERY clean, rust free, one small dent on the fender, but other than that, it is very clean looking. the only problem, it is 4 hours away and i havent been able to go check it out yet. It is a dealership and they are asking $12,900 for it, but I might be able to bring it down some. Is this a fair price for the truck, or should I be cautious, or what?

Never owned a cummins, but I've heard all the hype about them, especially 12v's.

if i do go for a test drive, what should i check for? what were the common problems for this year? need to know as much info as i can before wasting gas on the drive to go see it.

heres the link, check it out first! Shook Auto

really 66 views and nobody has any idea..? cmon cummins guys i know you have input to throw in here! gotta make up my mind fast i plan on going to look at it this weekend

 

Thats a 24 valve in the pics

 

they told me it was a 12v. isnt 98 the last year of the 12v?

well regardless of what it ends up being? what should i look for?

 

They had both in the 98 trucks, depended on whether it was early or late 98. Too much to pay for a 24v with that many miles IMO.

 

thanks man, i dont believe ill be able to get it anyway... wont get enough for my truck on trade in..
