you dont want the slant 6.

i would take this as a learning opportunity. The trucks already dead, go pull your oil pan off, intake manifold and heads and see what happened.

 

i was thinkin about doin that what about in the mean time gettin that 1st gen ram just to have as a dd i know that some of people hide probs behind a bad starter

 

If you're really interested in the 84, here's what you do. Tell the guy that you're bringing over a used starter to test it with, there are lots of $20 starters available in florida on www.car-parts.com. You can install the starter in about 10 minutes with just a couple tools. If the truck runs nice and you're comfortable with it, make an offer. If not and if you can't return the starter, don't let him keep it unless he pays you what you paid for it, your only out $20 and you've prevented yourself from buying a money pit.

 

could i pull the one off my 94 and use that one

 

Not sure. If you have the 318 or 360 Magnum in both trucks it should work. If they are not both the Magnum engine I doubt it.
