1989 d 250

HI All,

I have a chance to buy a 1989 D 250 with the Cummins, AT AC and more (loaded) std Cab. Per the owner, the truck is like new in looks and runs great (130 K miles). What do you think a fair price would be for this truck?....Is there anything bad about the first year Cummins in a Dodge?....I don't think it is intercooled....how important is that a stock truck?....If it is very important how hard / expensive is it to intercool it? Also, I don't think it had an OD tranny....Just a regular 727 and a numerically lower rear end....how good is this truck for towing?....I tow about 8000 lbs occasionally.
Thanks in advance for any and all help. I plan on looking at this truck this weekend.
Andrew
