buying 07 advice please

hey all. Ive been searching for a truck, think I found what I want. Give me your opinion/advice. Its an 07 Ram 3500, 5.9 ctd, 4 x 4, 6 speed manual dually with 32000 miles. I have been reading alot of posts on here and it seems the 6.7 unfortunately has been troublesome for some people, so i decided to stay with the 5.9. I have had great luck with the manual trans, what I have read about the automatics scares me, I dont want to spend a bunch of money on the trans to make it bullet proof so I want to stay with a manual. Its a lonestar package, not exactly sure what that is. They have agreed to 30,000, I think thats plenty, but twice I have held out on similar trucks and they sold them in a matter of days. I found this truck on the internet, my local dealer is tired of me being so picky so I have been looking on my own. This will be the first time I have bought a truck that wasnt local, its a little risky, but these trucks are getting harder to find. By the pics it looks clean and its a 5 star dodge dealer, hopefully a reputable one. Any major problems with 07s, recalls etc. I think I will pull the trigger tomorrow, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
