I would not consider 2,000 hours on a diesel to be greater than average. I'm no mechanic but I would not be concerned about engine hours until you get to 4 or 5,ooo hours. Even then, if the engine was properly maintained it could easily have a lot of life left in it. The converse is also true, if not properly maintained a low hour engine could be near end of life. What you need to do is have a good engine survey done.
