Need opinion on a high mileage truck

[Devilman]

Hey guys I'm looking at an 07 classic CC/LB dually LS. The truck is very nice looking and clean interior. It has a 6" cognito lift, 35s, and rockstars. The question I have is bout the mileage. The truck has 217,000 miles on it and this kinda worries me. I've driven the truck and it drives like a 50K mile truck. Would yall buy a truck with that high mileage and is there anything in particular I should look for or inspect?. I can get the truck for $17,500

Thanks, Dman

i would buy it.the only thing i would worry about would be the water pump,but if its not leaking dont worry about it. i would get ahold of a programmer (EFI or PPE)and check the balance rates on the injectors. i think they should be +/- 4 ...... the price seems very reasonable.....oh and you might want to inspect your front end (wheel bearings,pitman/IDLER, and tie rods) as lifts tend to wear it out faster!

Thanks, yeah I still have my hot+2 from my last 07. I'll check the injectors and luckily I still have alot of the stock steering parts from a SAS I did for a customer.

I wouldnt hesitate, especially it being an LBZ....not many problems with them at high mileage.

Cool, I was just needing some reassurance on the mileage. I've had a couple very high mileage 12V dodges but haven't had any experience with higher mileage Dmaxs, I've been getting rid of a truck before it has 30k on it here lately!
