Hey everyone, obviously a new guy, but I'm hoping you all might lend me some advice on this. I've been looking to buy a truck for awhile, and older dodges have really caught my eye. I'm looking at a 97 1500 Slt (https://springfield.craigslist.org/cto/5633399382.html). I realize you guys are obviously somewhat biased or you wouldn't be on here , but I'm just looking for some honest opinions on this model. The biggest problem I hear is that the transmissions are junk, and considering the price is at $3k I think he might be hiding something from the ad. Besides that any big issues I should watch out for if I decide to look at the truck?

Thanks!

 

Price is pretty typical. Intake plenum and transmission are somewhat big ticket items to check thoroughly.

 

Well somebody bought it, ad has been removed...

 

Bummer.. I've been busy with work so I haven't been able to check it out.. I'm sure there will be others though.
