@Trevmoob In order to get the best Cummins I would look ever a wide area. You could look in all of California and Oregon, Nevada and Arizona .. even Washington with a higher chance of rust damage when you get into the far North West. With that wide of a search and a few months looking, you should be able to find the perfect Cummins. Then just have a little adventure taking bus, train, plane or whatever to go pick it up. It's worth it. I would love a 4x4.

I'm assuming the cummins isnt a 4x4. I'm looking to get a cummins made anywhere before 2003. Would you recommend anywhere to look in particular? I'm above santa barbara in los olivos

oh I think @grumpyjamaican actually left his comment before we IMd a lot and actually maybe he did get that pump primed. I just didn't look at my comments and I thought this was a new one. in any case .. the really great thing about these classic ford and dodge diesels is how extremely simple the engine and fuel system is. not much can go wrong. they just run .. and run .. and run.

@grumpyjamaican hey man! bummer it's not running yet but it has to be something simple. so I guess you still have not been able to get fuel up to the pump. you might have to consider a blockage in the fuel line. try this: get a fuel can with 3 or 4 inches if diesel in it at least so a hose will stay under the fuel level (maybe secure the hose near the spout.) set that can under the truck and then run fuel line (it will be 3-5 feet needed) up to the electric pump you have. prove that your pump is able to pull fuel up that far and prime itself. if you can prove that then you very likely might have a blockage in your fuel line. what else did you try for priming it? a blockage is very rare but definitely not impossible. but also, just priming can be difficult if perhaps the mr gasket pump is not up to the task. it's not a very good pump IMO, but my second one is lasting ok.
