Default Just bought my first truck

Glad I found this forum..I have a lot to learn! I just bought a truck to pull a horse trailer. It is a 2001 Ram 2500 quadcab longbed with 75000 miles. It's nothing fancy, just basic, no power window, doorlocks... But it's very clean, looks nearly new. Was a one owner and it was his baby! I paid $5000 for it and wanted to know if that was a fair price. It has brand new Michilan tires and a brand new computer module. The engine light is still on though and I'm taking it to have it hooked up to see what it is. Also, the heat isn't very warm which worries me. It worked when I test drove it but not now. I will only use it on weekends to haul my horse so hopefully it will last me for years to come.

pictures?? Where's the truck ****??? Gotta have pictures!!!! Man.. Sounds like a good price considering what I saw when looking for one myself.. Of course, it doesn't say where your at, and that makes a difference.. prices vary in different locals... but it's definitely a good horse truck, with that kind of mileage, it's a steal..

I was lucky as hell buying my '96, picked it for 3200 after the guy lowered the price from 6000 becasue of gas prices, wich dropped about 2 bucks shortly after.


Also: THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS.
