New to Ram
They arent going to trade me straight for for a 09. I would be getting the 94 dodge straight across. The dodge seems to be more truck then the Ford. As I said the tranny in the ford shifts really hard and slips out of od a lot. So its more down to which I would rather spend money on. The ram runs good. The only problem is it pulls to the right a lil bit. It pulls hard throughout all gears and shifts very well though.
It's a problem that has come up a lot more than a few times. Talk to any service manager at any Dodge dealership and you'll get my drift. In my opinion, it is a bad head design where a sharp peak is milled into the head, right between the valve seats. The crack starts there and then migrates into one or both valve seats. Like 98DodgeRam1500, I try to tell anyone considering a Magnum powered Ram that they must check for this condition before buying. I have no axe to grind with the Dodge Ram. If I were to buy a new truck today, it would probably be a Ram. That is why I'm committed to fixing and upgrading this particular truck because I like it.

Also, you might want the change in scenery.
Go for it... but that Dodge Ram the only thing out there?
The owner is willing to trade you even for you F-150, does he know the mechanical condition of your truck?
I am trading a used car dealer for it. He took the f150 and drove it around his lot I doubt it left first that was his idea of a test drive. The Ram is the only thing that isnt going to cos me anything. I paid 300 bucks for the f150 back in May. So at the end of the day I guess I could afford without being to hurt to have to pay 500-1000 into the Ram on repairs if need be and still come out with a pretty cheap truck. I think he might be more interested in my truck for parts. He has a really nice one like mine that he says needs motor work. My motor runs excellant.
Keep us up-to-date on how the truck is after you get it, a pic would also be nice.
best of luck in your RAM purchase.
