Have a quick question for the 5.9 Cummins guys.I currently own a 06 1500 Hemi and have the chance to buy a 07 2500 Cummins.My only concerned with the truck at the moment is the mileage.It has 72k on it.Im going tomarrow to look at it and drive it.Is there anything i should look for or be concerened with.I know this isnt a lot of miles for a diesel if its been maintained.Only thing is i cant be for sure how its been maintained.So any pointers would be appreciated.5.9s are very hard to find around here if not almost impossible so i kinda want to grab this if i dont find any issues with it.

Thanks for any replys.

 

72 is VERY low for a cummins,the only big issues to look for are worn steering ball joints/parts, and steering knuckle ball joints, and give the transmission a good test drive

 

Thanks for the quick reply.One other question.I have read horror storys about some cummins injector pumps.Was the problems worked out by 07 or can this year have a short pump life span?

 

no longer "actual" injector pumps on the 3rd gen and newer, the POS pumps are on the 98.5-02, 24 valves

 

very good.thanks for your help dodgetrucker.Its gonna be put on a lift tomarrow so i will look for any front end wear.Your help is appreciated.
