I GOT MY TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi People!!
I just bought a truck (yesterday). It is a '96 ram 2500 club cab with a CTD, auto, 2wd, ps,pb,pw,pl,power mirrors(in and out too),power seat,towing package,air bags,pillar gauges,a/c, and an infinity sound system. It has 132k miles on it. The previous owner claims to have gotten 27 mpg, but I doubt that much. I picked it up in Ironwood, Michigan for $12995. The truck had a 1/4 tank of fuel when I got it and I headed west to go home and the low fuel light didn't even come on until I was in Superior, Wisc. a distance of about 100 miles. I was quite impressed. Since this truck has pillar gauges on it, I was wondering if anybody could tell me if there is any way to tell if this truck has been bombed at all. I saw a maximum boost of 25 lbs. and pyro temp of 900 deg. Of course this was empty so I was not able to work it to see what it could really do. The truck is in good shape - not all beat to snot and seems tight in the suspension and cab too. EVEN MY WIFE LIKES THIS TRUCK!!!!!
