Default New Member - Own 2nd Gen 95 1500 Reg Cab Long Box 5.2l V8

Hello!
I am new to this site! I recently bought a used Ram and have been working out issues so wanted to join!

I bought a 1995 4x4 1500 Ram Reg Cab Long Box 5.2l V8 Auto with 123,000 miles for $2000. The truck ran great first 30 miles then sputtered out and barely made it home, Then ran great for 90 miles and now does all it can to hit 30 mph. Anyways Hoping to fix it up as I want it as a daily driver.

Happy New Year all!

And unless it's already been fixed you'll definitely want to be looking at the plenum.

If the O2 Sensor's are crapped out or the cat is clogged up, this is probably the reason why...

Welcome to the site, you won't find a more knowledgeable group of guys anywhere.
Whenever I get a new vehicle, I always like to change oil, do a tune up (plugs, wires, air filter, pcv valve, ect) to have a baseline on when maintenance was done.
