The thread title pretty much sums what I'm getting at. I found this truck...
http://atlanta.craigslist.org/sat/cto/1691049566.html and I'm pretty interested in it. Kelly Blue Book puts his price about $1,200 over a private party deal for a truck of that year and specks.
If I get serious about picking the truck up I would take it to a diesel shop and get them to test the oil and give it an inspection.
I have heard of people getting over 500,000+ from some of these trucks and then others die early deaths.
If the steering components haven't been replaced by now I would imagine that would need to be done.
What are some red flags to look out for?
I have started a few of these threads over the past week and I hope I'm not rubbing anybody the wrong way. Just trying to pick some knowledgeable brains
