Gents (and ladies, if you're present) -- Tonight I'm going to look at the 6.9 I mentioned earlier in this thread. It's short notice, and yes, I have read the "what to look for" thread in the forums, but can ya'll recommend anything in particular to make note of offhand? Owner is asking $500, and says the truck overheats. I'm thinking worst case = cracked block, bad case = heads, better = head gaskets, best = t-stat. If I can snag it for $350 or so and the body isn't totally rotted, I might just buy it to learn on. This'll be my first "big" diesel (I have a VW TDI now).
Thanks all!
