What should I look for? Guy at work has a 2001 crew 4wd with 200k and wants in the neighborhood of $5500. It was his dads then he passed and this guy drove it to work daily. Round trip 40-45 miles. Pretty much it. Not sure about injectors. What are the big ticket items to look for. I've never owned a diesel. Was looking at some 6.0s when someone overheard me talking and gave me this guys name. I do k ow him and know that he is meticulous by nature. Getting pictures later tonight

Thanks

If the truck is in good condition that's a steal.

Would not buy...


price is good...

but figure spending $2300 every 2-3 years (if lucky) on factory bosch injectors...


there are newer(but high perf)style nozzles available for an additional $900 that seem to have been lasting longer...but you will have to have custom tuning to run them.
