pro's - its a diesel, and it'll blow smoke.
con's - while blowing lots of smoke mpg will go down.

it has a good trans and lift pumps, it has very small tires... 235's???

Very nice sounds like a nice truck as long as the body and stuff are solid. Buy it and get it EFI live tuned :)

sounds like a decent truck.

big thing on the early model duramaxes is the injectors. do some looking around on here and you will find tons of info on it. they do have a 7yr 200k mile warranty but many of these trucks are slowly hitting that 7 year mark.
