If its reasonably priced and is a 4x4 I say buy it. Although I would be leary of the auto trans. But if you have the money buy it and when the trans goes out put a built one in it. Oh, and it probably rides rough as hell.

I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to get an 04 with the cummins and auto. The 48re transmission has been very reliable. The only problem with them is that it is a 4 speed auto vs the newer trucks 5 and 6 speed auto's. The fuel economy will be much better than the new trucks and the noise level is relatively quiet compared to the previous generation cummins.
