Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Can I get a price check on a Cummins pickup?
Looking to purchase a Cummins. I have been looking off and on for a long while now. This truck is exactly what I've had in mind but wanted to see where his pricing was at on it. Anyone care to share what type of price point a truck like this should fetch?

KBB is putting it about the same ..
NADA is saying more like 15…. But that might be an options thing…
Despite the crazy low miles on that truck, the NADA value is a lot more realistic in this situation...Originally Posted by clublights

The guy will get the asking price on it diesel pickups are going for ridiculous money right now the low miles and standard trans will let it sell

Exactly that's why I'm thinking hard about buying it.
It is at a dealer so you might be able to negotiate a bit

Already did. Got a great trade deal setup and essentially I'd be getting the truck for $21,500. Just waiting on final approval from wifey to move forward. Any diesel gurus want to come look it over for me? I'll pay you a fair price since this is my first diesel and I don't know what I'm really doing yet.
That's more than I paid for my 2001 dodge cummins (nearly identically equipped) with 40k miles in 2005. That price is more in line with a late 3rd gen cummins pickup. A vp44 powered dodge(2nd gen) is a 10k ish range priced truck.
The front suspension issues the 2nd gen dodge truck has alone are a reason I'd avoid it. Here's a short list of problems you will have with that truck or upgrades that are almost mandatory:
1. swapping the track bar setup to the 3rd gen version
2. ball joints (all the weight of the truck sits on the lower ball joint in the front)
3. the dash will crack to pieces and need replaced
4. the vp44 injection pump is not fed sufficiently by the stock lift pump setup. The stock lift pump needs replaced with a FASS or equivalent. (doing the injection pump yourself is a minimum $1200 repair. Extending the life of the injection pump with an aftermarket lift pump is in the $500-800 range.
5. the bottoms of the front doors will rust.
6. worst stock headlights ever, almost intolerable to drive at night
7. stock intake plenum gasket is subject to pop along with the head gasket from the extra heat having a boost leak causes
8. stock intercooler boots are questionable at best
9. speedo and tach like to go out when the speed sensor in the rear axle goes
10. that nv5600 transmission is as much to rebuild as a lot of automatics are. bearings and synchros are not readily available.
11. the nv5600 transmission has a lubrication problem with the 6th gear due to the design of the case
12. it could have the dreaded 53 block, which will crack at some point.

http://denver.craigslist.org/ctd/4134789071.html this truck is way more in line with the price of a cummins pickup, and then it's only worth 15k.
