Well after a week of driving the truck I have found a few things with it,
1-the cup holder in the dash has glued in arms to hold the drinks, found out by trying to move one and it broke off.
2-found out that the jack is missing.
3-had to fix the master window control in the drivers door, fixed that by re-soldering the connections after finding out info on here about it.

So far that's it, I'm sure there will be a few more things I find. Now I'm looking at a few mods to do,
1-tuner
2-towing mirrors
3-thinking of de-badging it when I have the body work done
4-HID headlights

I'm sure there will be more but for right now I'm just enjoying the new ride.

Hey Gamjunior38,

I'm a RAM mechanic so I can give you some insight. I think you got an OK deal at $5000. The miles are a bit high but being a 2WD it probably rides OK. At 160K miles, 4WDs start to get a little loose. Having the hemi in it is a strong plus. Keep it in good shape, change your fluids right away and change your oil frequently. You should get some nice use out of it. Good luck.

Nice looking truck congrats on the buy. I know for where I live (Dallas, TX) that 5000 is a steal and 7400 is still dang good price for it. I just purchased a newer truck roughly 3 months ago with 146k but with a hemi if you take care of it should easily get good usage out of it.

looks good! I saw there was a member on here selling a pair of the OEM towing mirrors, could save you some $ if they are still available. Enjoy the new ride
