i am looking at buying a truck for work and have benn looking for a while a dealer fried of mine took a 98.5 dodge 1 ton dually with a 24v cummins with 119K on it in trade today on a new dodge 3500, and was looking to see if i wanted it before he sends it to the auction. so here is the story the guy was going to fix it but decided that he would just trade it in and buy new. the problem was that some times after coming to a stop the truck would only go up to 20 mph but if you stoped and shut it off and restarted it would be fine than it would go a few hrs days and do it again he took it to the dodge place and they diagnosed it as a bad injector pump which he will sell me at cost ($1600 is this a good price?) it also has a clutch that is on its way out the door which is not as big a deal as the fuel cutting out. i have got a few different oppinions on whether or not this diagnosis is correct.
so i found out that the injector pump and transfer pump tend to go at the same time. but is this the real source of the problem? i was told that he has replaced the injector pump once before about 60k miles ago. what do people on here think the root of the problem is?
is this something that i could get fix the ingector pump, transfer pump and clutch and have a truck that will go another 100k or is more like opening up a can of beans.
prices
truck $7200
parts $2650
labor $1000
total $10850
deal or not
