Who has a mid 90s cummins?

[s2gots]

I might be acquiring a 96 dodge cummins regular cab 2wd duallie. It's an auto with 150k miles. What should I look out for in a dodge?? I've had ford/chevy diesels before but never dodge... Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Tia.

First thing to do and quick is the KDP! (Killer Dowel Pin) http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/94-98-powertrain/63460-anyone-who-hasnt-done-kdp.html

Other than that, if you don't know the history, change the fluids and filters and drive it.

A 96 Cummings with only 150k on it ? It's just getting broken in.

I have a 97. Best vehicle I've ever owned. It will still tow a house. They are noisy compared to the new diesels but they are virtually indestructible and actually get pretty good mileage.
I drove 2000 miles out to California last year with a trailer to pick up a boat that my pops made in grad school back in the 60's and averaged just over 22 mpg towing the trailer.
