nto quite sure the exchange rate or canadian to american, but that seems to be a pretty avg price for a cummins. and if the rebuld was done right shouldnt cause any problems. test drive it and see. but i wouldnt think twice about that kinda mileage for a cummins

if ya buy it, also buy a Haynes manual, mine is my bible lol
and keep the str8 pipe on that cummins, sounds abouslutly sick, and yer EGTs will stay a little lower, although if i had a cummins with the 5 speed i'd always have my foot about crammed down the turbo

At current exchange rate, thats $7700 American. Sounds like a pretty decent price. Id get it...

Dont worry too much about the miles. The engine will outlast the rest of the truck if cared for properly. Not that the truck is bad, just the engine is that good.

And if that guy seriously paid $1000 (~800 Am.) on a fuel plate and install, he got HOSED!!! The plate itself is $275, and can be installed in about an hour if you take your time.

only problem ya might ever have with the tranny is the clutch if it gets burned up
then replace it with a twin disk southbend clutch
