whats it worth??? 145k had a plow and a gooseneck hitch but neither are installed now so i know this truck was worked, but thats why we buy them...right? lol the truck is ok exterior/interior is perfect. first talk, the guy tells me it wont start without ether "Edit", first downfall. IT started and ran great so i took it for a 30min drive with no problems, shut the truck off it would not start back up???

 

Run away from it as fast as you can. It shouldn't have any problems starting when its up to operating temps.

thats all i needed to know, I will be sure to stay away...are 3rd gen cummins no good? i want to buy a newer truck, have a prime 1st gen now that i use for plowing but lookin for a truck to travel with the toys.

 

3rd gens are fine, some are like everything else used and abused..

Be patient one will come long..

 

You know though, if you get enough information and back round on making the truck start with out ether. And let the salesman, or owner dont know your case you could get a good price on it if you do the work yourself. If you get it at a very low price fix it back up, then you know your good to go for another 300,000 +. Just my two cents. Sometimes buy real low fix everything and you come out better in the long run cause you can fix everything that was weak to begin with....

True,

My concern with the truck you mentioned is the "Snow Plow" tends to be tough on things, especially when you hit curbs or sidewalks.. The bad start could be an LP and / or injector pump or it could be a simple as getting a new flash on the ECM.. Like I say it's a buyers market out there no need to dive into trouble when another is just around the corner.. Have you done a car-fax or have the dealer run the VIN yet?

 

i have no problem fixing the truck...but what are the posible causes cp3 injectors fcr or...lift pump, ecu. and what would be good price? I have all the tools.
