I'm looking at a 1997 C3500 with the 6.5 turbo diesel and a dump bed. The body is in pretty good condition, runs good, brakes are good, transmission is the 5 speed stick. 187,900 miles. It would be used for a farm truck, with some moderate to heavy trailering, moving hay, feed, and everything else that needs to be done around here. There are a few things that need fixing; the windshield is cracked and needs to be replaced, it's ready for new tires all around, the oil pressure gauge is out, fuel gauge works intermittently and the parking brake handle is broken. From what I have been able to learn about the engine there a few mods that need to be done to head off problems down the road, particularly relocating the PMD and replacing the fuel lift pump. If anyone has experience with these engines, what else should I be on the lookout for?
Thanks in advance!
