i'm looking to buy a 1995 LJ71 3.0 turbo diesel with 142,000 miles JDM. Its out of state so i found a helpful person to go look at it for me. 2 things about it alarmed him.
1 when they started it it died after a min of running and the oil light came on, mind you it was very cold recently and has not run much latley... The guy said its just a sensor that intermediately comes on and off on these diesels.
2 he took oil cap off and felt some blow back, very light he said but it was there and made the cap dance alittle he said on each compression.
should i run from this truck for those reason? i'm fine putting around 1k into if need be to fix this problem but much more and the truck would be over priced then and will not go lower. hes asking $18,000
thanks any tips, i own a 1993 usa 80 series with a small engine oil leak somewhere, its not the end of the world to me if i should just live with it the same thing on this truck too i will.
