hey first timer here,
im in the market for a truck and i know i want a cummins. i recently realized i dont have enough money for a 24 valve in good condition. i also recently have realized that 1st gens are the way to go or atleast the 12 valve is the way to go. i would like to start making biodiesel to make my work commute really cheap and to save money.
right now i have a choice between a 91 auto 1 ton dually with 100k miles, snug top camper with bunks and storage, new front tires and front brakes, has a banks performance system in it (which i think consists of an intercooler and exhaust not positive though). this one is being sold for $4k and it needs a break master cylinder and booster which he quoted was a $600 fix with parts and labor. im gonna try to get ahold of the last owner of the truck and find out its history more. heres the craigslist link for it and let me know what you think. heres the CL link for the 1 ton http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/cto/2766800274.html
i looked at the 1 ton in person today looks ok. i like old classic trucks. made in america. i dont wanna deal computers either. i just would like to know what to check on the truck to make sure its good to go. thanks
the other option is a 92 3/4 ton 5 spd club cab and camper shell with a banks turbo and exhaust, K&N air inlet, gear vendor over drive and more. dont know the miles just yet. this one is selling for $6000 but i dont wanna spend more than 5 even 4 maybe. i cant seem to find the craigslist ad for this anymore hopefully its not gone.
the only thing i have a problem with is that i would like a 5 spd
1. because i like driving manuals
2. i hear that a manual cummins is the way to go for towing especially.
i need help deciding. i would also like as much hidden tips about the 1st gens as you guys can throw my way. im gonna be using this for towing later on like farm work. but for now i want mpg mpg mpg. thanks alot.
