is it close so that you can go and see it? run an OASIS on the VIN.

why is he selling?

the usual used car buying advice aside, the only thing that sticks out to ME is the K&N filter. they are junk and will wreck your motor.

ask him if he had a chip on it, and which one?

look at the IC pipe boots. are they oily? are they dirty?

pull the oil dipstick, does it smell like fuel?

ask him if he has had any tranny issues. pull the tranny dipstick- how does the fluid look?

yeah i am going to go see it on thursday, he is selling because he wants a crew cab, what should the tranny fluid look like?, no chip, and the IC pipe boots?-where are they?

thanks i am new to diesels
