I'm looking at a 96 dodge ram 2500 diesel 4x4 truck club cab. The truck will be used for hauling tractors via goosneck trailer, The truck has brand new heads, new injectors, the front end has been re worked all is new there, the truck has the towing package gooseneck hitch is included, the truck starts and runs good, oh it has a new heavy duty clutch that has about 1000 miles on it, a heavy duty tranmision that was just placed in it 5 speed. It does have a diesel leak at the filter but the guy said he would fix it, it has all the transmision temp gauge, turbo gauge, and all. It has a few cometic things that needs to be done, the seat is tore front, the power seat was just replaced, it does have white smoke untile it gets warmed up, the truck has plenty of tourqe you can take off in 3 and fourth and it goes right on. It drives real good rough but they all do that, The only thing that the abs and brake light comes on and goes out, he said he has had that looked at and they say

that alot of these trucks do that. I know that the 1500's are bad about that but I think for a diesel it is a good asking price 8500.00 club cab, paint is good some chips but that is to be expected.
180,000 miles Thanks

Oh yeah the title is clear no wrecks or salvaged.

The truck has seen a rough life already. 180,000 on a Cummins is just broke in good, not broke. I would pass it by.
45cal, Dodge has made the Club cab since 1973, skipped a couple of years, '80-'81 I think and resumed. Ford extended cab is Supercab, introduced in 1974.

Cummins diesels are good for 350000 miles when properly serviced. Why it needed a new head has me wondering what that truck went through. I had a 96 2500 that was nothing but headaches from the day I bought it. The only thing that didn't break was the motor. I traded it in and got $4000 for it with 125K miles on it and everything you listed and more had been replaced. Walk away. There's better deals out there.

If it is a v10 in it the transmission will work with the diesel. If its a 5.9 magnum it won't. You need everything from the diesel truck such as the PCM, gas tank, fuel pump.... If you have the donor truck it won't be hard but since you are asking thi question that tells me you aren't a mechanic and you should just keep the truck you have

Sounds like the kind of truck that you need...but not at that price! Plus ABS/brake problems could get very costly. You need working brakes for something that big.
