f.b., Like T.V. Look in the usual places for problems. You said Full screw tandem. I am sure you meant "Twin Screws" or it is a "Tandem" a single drive axle with a rear Tag Axle. The old 855cid Cummins ranging in HP from 250 to 435 is a reliable engine.Just about Bullet-proof if treated reasonable. and just like a "Chevy 350" can be rebuilt for not a lot of money at all and no special tools needed. Back in the 80 a rebuild kit was in the 3K range if my memory serves me. I am sure it is higher now by some. I would say if oil is black, no evidence if moisture. Crack the plug and loosen a couple of rotations to see if any antifreeze drips out. turbo,leaks, head gasket leaks. It ought to be a solid enough truck I think. Build up air pressure and shut her down, Listen for obvious air leaks, could be problems or just annoyances that are just that or a air line that may have to be fixed in short order Hope this helps.
