okay so originally i was going to get a ford 7.3, but now i found this truck which i had been wanting to get one all along but couldnt seem to find one for the right price, its an auto tranny with the 12v 5.9l. Its got 215,000 on the odometer, theyre asking $7000 and i know diesels are known to last forever, but is this really a good deal? the truck is immaculate all over and i'd be using it as a daily driver.
i love the sound of the cummins over any powerstroke or duramax, i know they last longer as well
 
too much money these trucks tend to have trans problem no not good deal
hope this helps by the way $2500 is what this truck sells for here in the south i mean think 14 years old and 200,000 miles you will be buying a trans eventually and cummins really these are common but not the most reliable diesel engine ask any diesel/big truck mechanic
fords been making diesel trucks as long as anyone as has chevy detroit diesel,mack,caterpillar all of these are better large truck engines but dodge fans will brag until they are blue in the face but dodge is and has always been no.3 for a reason and no they dont last longer thats just heresay and j.d power inc would have facts to prove otherwise last year when i sold my 86 ranger two owners of 94&95 dodge diesels both with trans problems kept calling trying to trade their trucks for mine no not worth $7000
hope this helps
 
One of the noisiest diesels ever put into a pick-up. They are not very efficient but will hold up well if you keep the oil changed. If you like to listen to your radio however you had better be prepared to have the volume turned way up.
 
Good motor fair price if it is in that good of shape it was probably taken care of you will probably have more problems with the truck than the motor.I have a Chevy 3500 and pull a loaded mini float that never comes off the truck allways run with a load and it has 200,000 miles on it and I go 1,000's of miles with it with no worrys.I do think they could use a better exhaust system cause they are rather loud.
