Well…it’s purdy…a 350 would probably do better for you when the time comes to sell it.

 

Hello Griz90 and welcome to the forum from N.E. Indiana! Good looking truck. The price is decent, the repair is not the end of the deal. Good luck with your decision.

 

I would run from it. While it's a great looking truck.... that wheel/ tire combo has wrecked havok on the front end. Plus i hate that look.

If that's the look you like, go for it. Only you can decide if it's worth buying. It's worth whatever a person is willing to pay for it.
I haven't priced out trucks since i bought mine in 08 i believe it was.

 

That's not a bad price depending in where you are. But.... as @INFRNL said, prepare for some front end work. Wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rod ends.
You should have a "maybe" option 😉

 

Thanks for the insight fellas. I’m located in CO so it seems like a decent price comparing to other similar diesels for sale.
When I test drove it I went to a parking lot and did circles both ways with the steering wheel cranked both ways and everything felt smooth and no weird noises. And truck didn’t pull an inch one way or the other at 75 on the freeway. So I feel fine about all the front end for now but you bring up good points it may be a future problem and a big one. I guess my best option is getting it on a lift for a wrench to look at it and give me the ugly truth before I drop the bag at the lot.

 

oh okay...being in CO our prices are typically higher for trucks.
also, as you mentioned...it's always a good idea to have a mechanic look things over. If it's at a reputable dealer, they should have already done that

Is that truck in Pueblo? I think I found the listing for it i autotrader. The wheels aren't as bad as I thought so it's a bit less of a worry.

It's probably fairly priced, I saw a few 2016/ 2017's in the low to mid 30's

 

Nice a fellow Coloradan! Yup listed in Pueblo. I wouldn’t say it’s a reputable dealer but I don’t see them trying to pull a fast one selling a suspect truck. I’m going to try and find a reputable diesel mechanic and see when they could take a look at it.

 

Yeah, theres several of us around but that may be more on a different forum. I live in the Springs, so not too far away. My father in law lives in Pueblo.
definitely a good plan to see if a trusted mechanic can take a look at it. It looks extremely clean and nice. I'm not familiar with anything newer than a 6.0 though

 

Like everyone else said, it needs looked over by someone who knows what to look for.... When factoring in idle hours its got more like 200k on it.... Carfax should show oem f/f's every 20k or so.. LOF's every 5-8k.. Trans should of been serviced with oem filter about every 60k.. Coolant should of been serviced about 3 times by now..... Also running aftermarket air filters are not good. Take the breather boot off and look up inside if you see a lot of dirt sticking to the sidewalls. Over time this will dust the engine... What contributes to oil leaks is excessive blow by.. Sorry, I know, prob more info then you need..

 

That’s great info to have. Thanks a lot for taking the time. Yup my next move is to have a knowledgeable mechanic give it a thorough looking over

 

Upper oil pan leak is probably more like $5k. It's a lot of work if they're doing it correctly.

 

It definitely would have to be negotiated down with the oil pan leak. 22-24k I think would be reasonable if everything else is good.
