Any major problems with the 06 Ram 5.9L Cummins 2500?

Eyeing a 2006 Ram 2500 Cummins 5.9L with automatic transmission with 200K miles. 4WD in decent shape.
Pretty good service records intact. Full AC system replacement last year.
Guy wants 21K.
Is this a deal or should you run from that mileage? The motor is obviously bullet proof but heard spotty things about Dodge automatic diesel transmissions of this era.
Anything else to look out for on these models?

The truck that's wrapped around the engine.
21k seems high as giraffes arse to me. I would avoid a 5.9 cummins truck just because people think they are worth so much more than they are. The 6.7 is a better engine, and the trucks with 6.7's in them are better trucks. I'm sure you could find a much newer truck for that price. I think my 2018 with 100k miles blue books for 30k-ish.

John Clay Wolf would offer around $16k.

Would the newer 6.7s need to any deletion mods? Or are they still fine with the newer emmisions components.

$21k for a 20 year old pickup just sounds crazy to me, even for a diesel

In my opinion they're just fine with the emissions equipment on them but it isn't a popular one.

Don't look at 120K mile 2006/07 GM Duramax's or 7.3L Ford's then.
Pristine ones of those are listing for $25-$40K now....
