Owner used to haul a 5th wheel and skid steer a few times a year, daily drove it for a couple years then it sat for awhile since he got a company truck.

I looked at it, runs great and I didn't see any rust. You think he's asking a little much? I know 105k miles is pretty low but it's also pretty old.

EGR is unplugged but still there. Just a DPF delete

I think thats a pretty good deal. Especially if its a laramie. I mean always see if you can get a cheaper price. Also can help to see how long he has owned it, service records, what tuning it has, and such. You can always ask to take it to a dealer/shop and have it checked out?

Seeing your in Denver I think thats a good price as well. Keep in mind if you live in a emissions county, it won't pass :)

In the last year my neighbor gave 28k for an early 2008 with the 5.9. Nice truck with 100k miles. It is a 4x4 automatic.

They quit putting a 5.9 Cummins in any truck on Jan. 1, 2007, every HD Dodge or Ram w/ Cummins built from that day forward has a 6.7L.

That price of $20K doesn't sound bad at all if it is in good shape and 4x4. I don't think a 2wd Cummins would deserve that kind of money.

It is a 2007.5 I was just off a few months.
