Default 99 Ram 2500 V10

I'm picking up my "new" 1999 Ram 2500 with the V10 this afternoon. It has 118K miles. I did a pretty thorough inspection and didn't see anything that worried me. What if anything would you consider a common problem with these rigs? Anything I should be watching for? The only thing that I noticed when driving was the lack of "oomph" when it was floored. It didn't hesitate but it didn't push me in the seat either. Is it deceptive or is it the gearing? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The only real problem is the HUGE hole in the gas tank. It has a pipe attached to it... that leads directly to the engine.

That may be it, I'll crawl under there this weekend and see if pulling them helps. Thanks for the info.
