So it sounds like I need to get an older model.
With my budget, it looks like the truck will have around 150k miles on it.
Is that too high for a diesel? I know with gas, I try and avoid anything over 100k miles....

This is one I am looking at.

Where's the rusty rockers? LOL

I'm no expert....just owned a couple and did stay at a Holiday Inn.

Looks nice, Cummins is just broke in at 150K if maintained properly IMO. Maybe see if there are service records.

I traded my '06 in at about those miles.....new owner did have to do some injector pump work within 12 months that I was unaware of being an issue.

There was also a problem with rust eating out the oil pans (go figure) mine started leaking in the middle of a blizzard at 2AM. Pricey to replace.

Not sure if they fixed that problem or not, look for blisters (from rock chips) in the clear coat on oil pan with crusty bubbles underneath.

Short of brakes, bearing, exhaust and stuff like that you should be good, I never had or heard of any major issues with tranny or T-case.

Good luck
