I'm looking at a 2003 ram 2500 4x4 quadcab with automatic transmission and the Hemi. The is not very clean but nothing mechanical seems to be wrong. The truck has 58,000 miles and I can purchase it for $14,000.00 which sounds good to me. I was just wondering if there are any issues with these trucks that I should know about such as transmission, engine, balljoints, ect. The only issue that I could notice about the truck was a ticking noise from the engine (sounds like a lifter ticking but not very loud). Any input would be greatly apperciated.

 

from what i hear the hemi ticks anyways its just one of those things and 14k sounds alright but if by not very clean you mean the body is beat up a little bit then i think you can get it for a little lower but not much. oh i just realized its a 2500 so that might be as low as you could get it because i think that they are a little more expensive.

 

Go to the TSB/Recalls link at the top of the page first. It will give the dealer recognized ones to start with. There may be a few on the tranny---take a look
