My should be new truck within a week or so (also first diesel!)
Hey guys. Well i've been tryin to sell or trade my '98 Z28 LS1 camaro for a diesel. I've just always had a love for Cummins. The truck i am supposed to be trading for here soon is a '99 Ex cab short bed, 2wd auto 24 valve. It has 165,000 miles. The body looks great in the pics as does the interior and the guys swears it looks just as nice in person. Upgrades are: Edge comp box w/stealth plate, 90 horse injectors, 100 gph lift pump, BD cold air intake, 3" straight pipe to 6" echo tip, and a BD pillar mount monitor. I am in love w/the truck and can't wait to see it. What do you guys think so far based on the description?

Also guys sorry about posting this repeatedly. Didn't mean to, just now realized there was this potential owners section as im new to the forum all together. I deleted the info from the other two posts i had. That way all discussion can be here and mods an members hopefully don't get aggravated at the multiple posts. Sorry guys!

Sounds good to me.
With the Edge turned up it will probably get pretty toasty on a stock turbo. If you want more performance that would be your next step.
What brand of Lift pump did he install? It would be a good idea to check the fuel pressure on the truck before you pay for it. Though the BD monitor may display fuel pressure I don't know.
The only issue I see is the truck having an Edge and injectors on a stock auto trans. If it has been abused much you may have the possibility of rebuilding it before too long. I would inspect it carefully and make sure the fluid is nice and red and not dark or smelling burnt. If the seller is smart however, he probably would have just changed the fluid.
To do just a rebuild on a 47re your looking at around 1K for stock parts + labor. Depending on your performance goals the price to make the transmission live will go up from there.
The 47re may not be the greatest trans but it isn't as bad as some people think.
