    Find somebody with laptop loaded with Cummins insite, to pull out all the codes, if not take the truck to Dyno, it will show many problems if any or hire a good truck mechanic to check the truck for you.

    If you get it bought, go see the Diesel Doctor in Effingham, IL they can turn it up & remove everything you don't need. I have a 2006 9400 Eagle & after they got done it screams !! the wild ride.jpg

    Check fuel mileage on ecm. It generally reads about 0.5 mpg higher than actual. Good fuel mileage 7+, indicates a careful driver, lighter loads, not a lot of hill climbing. Basically an easier life on the truck. IMO. I would rather buy a truck with 800,000 easy miles than 500,000 hard ones. Suspension, bushings, hangers, etc... can also tell the tale. On the Cummins it may be worth a few bucks to pull the cover and look over the cams, lifters, bearings, etc... you'll want to do it shortly after buying anyways. Might as well do it beforehand so you know what you got.

    450 would be a Family 1 engine, where their "sweet spot" is supposed to be around 1400 RPMs.. with 3.58s, presumably a .74 OD transmission, and perhaps 295/75R22.5s, you'd be looking at 62.7 MPH at those RPMs. If you were looking to cruise faster than that, might be better to find a truck with 3.36s.
