Hey guys i found a nice 93 dually with 180,000 milies. The guy has two invoices stating some previouse work done to it. The one itself totaled $4,377.45. This invoice listed the truck had 158,000 milies on it at the time. The major thing that drew my concert was it needing a head gasket and injection pump. That just seemed odd to me with that few of miles they would go. Any reason? should i stay away from this truck? other repairs done to truck are lift pump, injectors, mechanical pump and fuel lines. Any advice would be great. thanks kyle

It just sounds like the truck might have sat for a while, and then the stuff went bad from sitting.

To me i would buy it if the price is right, the lift pumps are not cheap and you already have a new one from the start

thanks for the input. Just got a text from the guy saying someone is going to look at it tonight . hope it doesn't sell would like to take a look but its a good 6hr for me.

93 dodge dually

I also recentally bought a 93 1 ton dually and based on price of repair it sounds like the killer dowel pin problem, you'd better check just in case to make sure yours has been replaced with new non moving dowel pin , look up killer dowel pin, seriousally

yea i know about about the dowel pin, but ther was nothing on the invoice stating timming gears, water pump or and front gasket sets. So i think like what was stated above. truck has low milies on it.

Some repair shops tend to do more than necessary. If it runs well and doesn't over heat or burn oil, go for it. Pull the oil fill cap and check for blow by.
