87valueliner Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hello, I'm about to buy a truck with a 220 Cummins in it. Anything bad to look for as I'll be making a 700 mile trip back with it. Also any info appreciated. Thanks in advance, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truxnut Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 If it hasn't beeen run in awhile crack the pan drain plug 3-4 threads and check for water in the pan. a little from condensation is OK. Otherwise normal O/P is over 20 idle and 50+ at govened speed at operating tempature. A little water-oil seapage between head and block is fairly common. Be sure to carry at least 1 spare fuel filter and a quart of ATF or other thin oil to fillit with. The old 220s were pretty bullit proof. Quote John Evans, Trucks & Dogs are expensive!!

87valueliner Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 Thanks for the reply as i'll probably be leaving this afternoon. Should be a fun trip back down through the Ozarks. Thanks again, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
