i have a 98 ram with a 5.2 and about 240,000 and so far i have put in 2 batterys and a fuel pump.. kept up with the maint and its ran srong and looks to have many mils left..

 

my truck has 181500 and i race it....so kick *** and burn gas.

 

I just bought my Ram about a month and a half ago for $9000 with 92000 miles on it. It blue booked for somewhere between $9400 and $10000 so I was happy with the deal; everything I wanted too. It runs strong so I hope it gives me at least another 100,000 miles.

 

lol no one said how they feel about the v10?

 

I like my v10 it now has about 140000 miles doesnt use a drop of oil. I had to replace the water pump is about all. My advice though is to stay away from the 5 speen trans try to get one with a 6 speed.
5 speed trans sucks with the v10 because they run the best between 2500 and 3200 rpm.
I have owned 3 cummins diesels I think the v10 has just as much pulling power just lacks the low end torque of the diesel. I was thinking of putting a gear splitter behind my 5 speed and ill bet my pickup will out pull the cummins diesels.
