oh i know that one.. im currently dealing with a serious motor issue.. heres the thread for that.. lol https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...ite-smoke.html

im really inclined to belive that the reuse of head bolts was the issue. the heads are straight, and on top of that... no leaks, as i tested the water passages.. and as for the intake im testing tomorrow... after i de-grease it all and clean it up..


but they are definatly worth it.. like i started this with... 236k ALL ORIGINAL (motor trans frame body) alt and small parts like that have been replaced (maintenance) they are wonderful trucks.. i love t "barebones" look. so my truck has NO body panels, just seats, dash, and door panels. ill post pic tomorrow, i am still working on fully repainting the body.. but u'll see why i have it the way i do when i get a pic up

IF THERE IS A LINK TO CLICK ON TO VIEW FULLSIZE PHOTO... dont click it... its a broken link.. and i cant get rid of it

 

this is her fully loaded with 2 cub cadet tractors. picked up in NH and delivered to PA

Dodgeramguy, before u ask... it they went to Franklin.. lol i completely spaced.. coulda checked out ur ram while i was in the area... lol

 

Mine has 192k and some change, but there's very little on it that's original (pretty much just the body and the transmission).

 

Mine is a 2002 with a 4.7 liter V-8, 5 speed manual transmission and four wheel drive. I bought it six years ago and it had about 80,000 miles. Now it has 160,000 miles. I just rebuilt the front suspension, drive axles, front brakes, new fuel injectors and the PCV valve. Next is tires and alignment. It's running great now.

02 3.9 club cab. Auto trans, 146xxx on original motor and transmission. I've got a few check engine codes, a leaky passenger exhaust manifold and it's burning a little oil. Other than that, it runs and drives good and I've just done normal maintenance stuff. I will be redoing the engine and fixing the body pretty soon, as I now have the replacement truck near completion (79 F150 4x4 with a 6.9 international diesel that I put in).

 

Damn Ramguy, you only put 23k on that thing? I thought you had it awhile. It sucks the trans went at 96k, but maybe it just gave you an excuse to get a ram...

 

Dang, I have the lowest miles so far. 47xxx.

 

108,300 on my '99 Sport club cab, 3.9 manual 2WD with 3.21's, my third Dakota with a 3.21 rear. I paid $2000 for it from a guy in South Philly and have had to put $1800 into it for a clutch job, ball joints, O2 sensors, exhaust manifold studs, brake rotors and master cylinders. No body or frame rust is its saving grace. My dad and I have cursed the truck out on numerous occasions but now that it's on the road and behaving itself (minus the A/C leaking somewhere) I have no regrets with it. It's the perfect truck for me with the club cab and a bed lid. It'll knock down 16 around town (13-14 romping around) and 22 on the highway doing 70MPH.

My '92 has 155K, the last 20K of which are me learning to drive stick and beating the living crap out of it. It's a rustbucket, drinks a quart of oil every 1500 miles and takes about six turns to start but it always starts and never skips a beat. It'll knock down 16-17 around town if I play nice, I'd usually get 14. Out on the highway 23 is no problem at 70-75.

 

Lol I only drive like 10k a year. I got the truck when I was 16 so didnt really drive it a whole lot. Plus at 10mpg I didnt want to drive it a lot lol. Right now i drive 2 miles to work so I put on like 500 miles a month. I figured it wasnt worth putting 1700 into it so might as well get something I can tow and play with all while getting better mpg
