Trans test is to get up to about 30 - 40 mph, then floor it, if it shuttle shifts, the trans hasn't been done, or at least done properly. You'll know it, it won't feel like its pulling and it'll hunt for which gear it wants.

Little washy in the steering. Steering pump might be going as it was hard to turn parked. It went through 4x4 and 4low without a hitch. It shifted alright but not as smooth as my dad's that was rebuilt in the last two years. Carfax shows transmission flush at 189,000. Looks like it lived in BC all it's life till it showed up here. Started strong no smoke. All electronics worked. I'm not in a rush so we'll see. Can my local deisel shop test the injectors?
Most diesel shops can test injectors. It's actually very easy to test them. If one was bad you'd know. If one injector goes out it will shut down that bank of cylinders, there is a front bank and a back bank. So let's just say injector #2 Was bad, the front bank(1,2,3) all would not work and the truck will barely run. Are the injectors original?

Look at the rear door wiring harness. They are notorious for having broken wires that effect windows door locks speakers etc. New wiring harnesses cost about $115 per door. Look at the harness and ask if they have been replaced. If they haven't they will need it soon......guaranteed.
Mine was broke, I just soldered the wires back together myself.

Going to go look at a 2005 cummins short bed tomorrow with 230k miles on it. What should I be on the lookout for? I imagine if the tranny was already redone it would be a bonus?
How much are they asking?

The mega cabs from 2006 to 2009 have really exploded in demand. 4 years ago you couldn't give them away and now everybody wants 1. :bdid:
I have a 07 mega cab I got a few years ago for a great deal and now the asking price for them makes me want to sell, but I wont!

It seems a used diesel truck is commanding a high price these days. We have a 2010 mega cab on our lot that has 110k miles on it and they’re asking $38k for it.

As a thought.....30K for an 06 cummins with low mileage is not a horrible price. Especially when you look at the cost of the new one. :yike: :yike: :yike:
