    94 with the 6.5l diesel

    I am interested in buying a 1994 3500 with the 6.5l diesel in it. It’s got 237,000 miles on it and their asking $4000. I’m not familiar with these diesel at all so I wanna know if they’re good engines and if it’s a good deal or if these are poopoo and I should avoid them? Thanks!

    Hey folks, glad to join and hopefully learn a lot. Not a mechanic by any means but I know my way around a vehicle and garage. I’m bought a 1990 gmc c2500 flatbed with the 454 for my company as I’ll be hauling an enclosed 7x16 almost all the time, but I plan on using it as a general point a-b...
