I know at 130,000 the engine is still fine and dandy, but what about the rest of the truck. How do the trucks themselves hold out? What about the drive train? There is a cummins with 130,000 for sale that we are looking at for my son and I was just wondering on what to look out for. It is an 03 cummins 4x4.

 

How much $$$ is it?

 

they are asking 23,000, BUT it has many options.

Here is the link... http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...amp;cardist=25

 

But I am sure they will take some off of the price.

 

i just baught a 2002 2500 ext cab with the cummins turbo diesel that had 51,000 miles on it for 23000 to give u a good idea

 

I just payed $25,000 for my 02 quad cab dually 4x4 with 48,000mi., but injector pump problem. At the stealership as I type.

I'm a diesel newbie myself. I have to say, wow, what a forum!! Anyhow, I bought a 2500, 05 4x4 high output, 69k miles that came with a 5th wheel, spray-in, bed cover, and edge chip. I got it for 25,600.

 

it seems reasonable especially with that many options and being a 3rd gen..... ive been lookin for at least six or 7 months for a diesel but i only have about up to 17 grand to spend because im only 18 but its definitely worth checkin out and also check www.kbb.com

 

I ran it on KBB and it said it was worth 22,000 for good condition. It turns out that my wife works with the wife of theused car manager so I will talk to him. I dunno about it though, 130,000 is a lot of miles. I never had my answer to my question. How does the rest of the trucks hold up?

 

130k and diesel is like drinkin a second soda

the rest of the truck should be fine. I was talkin to customer service today at www.bullydog.com (great help btw!!!!!) and he mentioned that the diesel will break the axle before the engine goes. the truck should be fine as long as theres no history of a wreck.

my 93 with 340k still drives straight, carries straight body lines, and runs strong!

call your bank/ credit union (prefered) and ask the highest $$ they would give a loan for on that truck.
