need advise on purchasing a 97 cummins
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

Theres no way you can computer tune a 12v... He's not to knowledgeable there! As for the pin just ask him if he's done the killer dowl pin fix yet. If he asks whats that I'm 99% sure its not done since I'm guessing hes not the original owner? Its nothing to worry about as far as not purchasing the truck though. My 95 wasnt tabbed till I got it and it has 251k on it. Where abouts are you located?
