hey guys, first post...

i've had my fair share of diesels before, but never a cummins. the day has come and i've stumbled across an ad for a "CLEAN" 1991 red W250 cummins dodge with only 106,000 miles on it. no pictures, local, i'm checking it out tomorrow. i know the obvious stuff to check out such as rust and leaks, but could anyone tell me any other problematic areas i should be checking out? things to look at, things to listen for, and things to notice? it would be a big help. truck is $5200 and i want to make sure i'm getting every last bang for my buck

thanks

 

I dunno other than the obvious, but Welcome Aboard, and Good Luck !!

The guy selling wasn't named Kevin was it ??

 

don't know man, i'm calling the guy tomorrow to get the lowdown and some info and possibly test drive the beast. why?

 

LMAO ... inside joke.

as long as you dont have any leaks and the breather tube is not pouring smoke your fine.

106K on a 1st gen 12 valve. . .that engine isnt even broken in yet.

 

Unless it rolled over already
