Hey guys,

Just joined and been on the RAM forum with my current truck, but looking to go to a 4wd truck. Found this one:

Clean carfax with no accident reported... I have been looking for another GEN 2 Ram but no luck so far as I have not found one I like, but this looks nice. I think it is a bit over priced and will try to wiggle a bit on it, but looking to go today and drive it!

Things to look for on these trucks? The gas milage will be about the same as my terrible 11.5-12 that I get with my 01 1500 WS and its 2wd!

Thanks guys!

Brad

54 views and no inputs!?!?!??

 

The truck looks real clean and has low miles. I would buy it.

 

Anything I should look out for in this generation dakotas, that is any different than the gen 2 rams?

ie- plenum gaskets on intake manifold?
dash covers?

Do they run the same transmissions, with the 4.7L?

Thanks!

Brad

 

no plenum gaskets on the 4.7l and no they run 545fe,45rfe and the nv3500

 

That truck seems pretty cherry especially with the low mileage like that - also appears that it only had one owner.
The fact that Carfax documented that the radio was switched out is kind of amazing.
I personally would go for it.

Carfax, I feel, is 99.99% reliable...but when I was researching my truck before I bought it nothing came up. Since I bought it and tinkered with it, it's obvious that there was some degree of frontal passenger-side impact; enough to deploy the airbags and enough to give me trouble when installing my brush guard.
I'm not saying that it's a problem with Carfax because it's really not. I am saying that you should always be vigilant.

Hope that is helpful.

 

Nice truck, I would go for it.

Offer them 7k and see what they say... Never hurts to bargain a bit.

 

X2, Very happy with mine. Offer them 7 grand and see what happens

 

Sweet! Thanks guys!

This Sunday I will find out if I go for this on Monday, my rear diff is making a whining sound in my 01 1500. Hope it just needs some more grease! If not, new truck time!

I just drove some silverados yesterday and they were pretty bad, good shape just didn't drive like a dodge or feel like a dodge truck... I have been dodge for 7 years now, not turning back!

I'll post an update come the weekend, thanks for all your input!
