honestly i will prolly tow with truck once in awhile but it will be more of a DD and fun truck i can throw my friends in go to the mud or the hills or just cruise around i love the way a cummins sounds and drive they are the best truck i use to own a ford and love them but i love dodge cummins a little more

I agree with that statement, but it still could make a $5k truck turn in to a $7k truck pretty darn quick. not to deter anybody from a truck like this, just educated them that it could be an issue.

as for the 200k thing... the motor should not have any issues. My problem is the truck starts to see a lot of wear and tear. I had looked for a long time for a 12v before i got my Wagoneer (it was cheap, but should have held out for the cummins) and most of them had interior issues, needed all the steering components replaced, had a very tired trans, and/or paint and rust issues. lets just face it 200k is a lot of abuse on a body and components, not to mention that the axles may need to be refreshed (carrier bearings, wheel bearings, ect...).

yeah but hey over a few motnsh and some time i could have all that replaced my buddy is a diesel mechanic so i could get all this replaced quickly you know, its a manual trans so im not worried about the trans and this guy didnt do much with the truck i have looked at the under carriage and no rust or anything needs a new driver seat and sterring wheel cover thats it ill have pics posted soon

sounds like you got a nice one then. happy for ya, have fun and enjoy!

yeah now i test drive it tomorrow and then talk prices, i dont know yet im hoping i get it :jump:

hrm, to me it looks like pretty mild driving compared to what alot of people do to their trucks on a daily basis, and I understand better than alot of people you pay to play, but hte cummins isn't always the end all engine, there are no better options for 5k than what he is getting I will agree

ah I was just pokin fun dude :pca1:

It's just I would never take a nice new DD through mud like that, its pretty hard on every component of the truck and not just the engine, but thats just me. I leave that to the old pieces of junk. But if you've got the money to play...... then more power to ya.

And I agree. If you can find a good running 12v with around 200k for about $5k around here, you're getting a steal. People hold on to them pretty tightly in my area.

yeah they do the same here, but this guy is loaded he isnt hurting for money any time soon, so im going to jump on this if i can i mean even if i have to put a little money into it im sure it will be worth it you know

does anyone have pictures of how to move the fuel plate forwards and turn the pump up??

You can probably find a 12 valve in rough shape for that price but they are still good engines
