Doesn't look too bad, BUT, hood is black? Maybe had a fire?(and replaced it) Check it real good man. And anytime I see a truck with oversize tires on it, the first thing that comes to mind is , beat on.

doesn't sound bad but, i needs more than just paint on the hood(like to fender to)

the good is ""Motor and trans just rebuilt with warranty"' do you get the warranty with it?

looks like it lifted a little because 2wd sit a little lower

the thing is with 94-95 dodge have egr valve and a 46rh trans... also if you want to add a tuner a chip you have alot less to choose from. headers need egr port.

if you are going to buy i would hit the price down a little

my 2cents

Yeah I am right there with you on the tires. I am not sure with the hood I think I will ask him though obviously he will not tell me if it was a fire. I have seen it in person it looks fair. I probally would not be looking at it but with the motor and trans and the warranty its caught my intrest. I can go back to normal tires. I am not sure if its lifted or not.

I am a part time mechanic so mechanically I will have no problems however I have never owned a dodge so I am not sure on typical problems. I have been reading on the forum for almost 3 hours now so I am learning. Yes warraty is transferable.

On the + its a florida truck so absolutly no rust what so ever.

these trucks are a blast to drive nice sound and can be loud if you want it, 1 cat no resonators, but they do have some problem , all trucks do, i would look up the vin maybe

hmm what i wonder is WHY is only the hood a different color? I agree that there may be fire damage, or something else, but if other components of the truck were damaged in an accident, wouldnt those components be a different color too? Why did he cheap out on just the hood? I don't know that sounds a bit odd to me, but the price doesnt seem bad and it looks sweet, same color as my first ram!
