Calling Dodge Cummins experts!!

I found a 97 dodge 2500 12 valve cummins on craigslist that I want to buy... I just talked to the guy and he said he basically built the truck, it has a new front end and some other stuff. It needs a front driveshaft which isn't a big deal I don't think. But what scares me is he says the transmission will not go into OD... According to him it is just the OD switch that is bad. Max speed is 45 mph and it's located over two hours away, which would obviously take a long time to get home. But if it's really just the switch I'd buy it in a heartbeat for 3000 which is what I offered him. Just want to know if anyone's heard of this issue and if it's a common problem and an easy fix. The truck has 260k on it. And when I test drive it how can I verify that the transmission itself isn't bad? Thanks in advance.
