Considering a CTD. What to look for?

I'm interested in this 1994 Ram 2500 as a work/beater/hunting truck. I know it's probably been rode hard and put away wet and accordingly I expect it to have some issues. That's okay as long as they are relatively minor since it will not be a primary vehicle, but I do not want a major headache. What should I look for and keep in mind when looking at it?

The fuel cut off solenoid sounds like a fairly common problem and not difficult to fix.

What would you expect this truck to be worth?

'94 Dodge 2500 Ram Diesel, the higher GVW, 12 Valve Cummins, 190500 miles, Flatbed, 5sp, power nothing, Bad paint and needs fuel cut-out switch, sometimes it works sometimes you have to get out and switch it manually. 4-new 33x12.5 mud-terrain tires.

Try Larry B for the fuel cutoff solenoid. While ordering from Larry B don't forget the starter contacts and new fuel supply/return lines. KDP and fluid change all around.

What he said,

you might also want to look at the front end steering components, those big tires put a wear and tear on those front end parts..
