hey guys i just found a 05 diesel i just fell in love with on ebay but i cant afford it i was just wondering if that was the year the started putting emissions stuff on them or not and what are like the pros and cons about that year should i find something that is a little older is that a better choice?

 

hey guys i have been searching and searching for a truck on ebay and craigslist and i think i might have found a couple trucks im interested in but the mileage that i see on them worry me first i found a 2001 and all they said about it was it had alot of miles then i found a 1999 and that had 162000 now my question is what is alot of miles for a diesel truck i know the engines hold up for alot of miles but im worried about the rest of the truck mostly the body and parts around the engine because i have a 2001 1500 with almost 180000 miles on it and a bunch of parts need to b replaced and the body is in rough shape so if you guys could give me some info that would b alot of help thanx

 

ok i dont believe the emissions came out until mid 07-08 when the 6.7's came out and if they did have emmisions before that it can all be easily removed with a sawsall, we have an 04 with 95000 and have only had 1 problem, the lift pump went at about 60k, cummins covered it 100%, they even paid the towing bill, 162000 on a cummins manual is not bad if its never been chipped or pulled hard, the automatics tend to be a little less reliable and i would get it check out, the body will last as long as you take care of them, my 96 was super clean when i got it, zero rust, i have had some issues,still no rust but a couple hail stones and a mailbox have done some slight damage, my grandpa has a 90 power ram, it looks the same as the day it rolled off the assembly line, i saw a 99 with over 520000 miles on the factory drive train its all how well you take care of it, and if you are gentle or hard on them

 

ok well this one i found is like a couple hours away so right now im only going by the pics on the dealer website and it looks good but i am worried about all the other mechanical parts on the truck b/c that is what is going on with my 1500 now with the miles i have on it and the motor is starting to use oil to and it never use to do that either and i would never buy an automatic i think its stupid to buy a diesel with an automatic cant really use all its power unless you have a manual tranny im still waiting for and email from the dealership hope everything is good because i have been on the hunt for awhile and i dont know how much longer my truck can hold up im trying to put the least money in it possible because of all the things that are wrong with it im either going to sell it or junk it when i get a new truck so thanx guys

 

hey guys the the website where i found the truck im looking at is ny diesels and i believe the dealership is called fastlane auto now the help i need is i cant find an email address for them so does anyone happen to know one for them? i thought i found one when i was on craigslist and they had a truck on there but i emailed the address they had there and i still have havent got anything so if anyone knows one that would be a really big help thanx guys

 

hey guys im still searching for a truck no luck really its hard to find what i want around where i am not alot of people have that kind of truck for sale around here what my question is, is that i know when i get a diesel im going to do somethings to it after i get some money and i would like to get a tuner for it for one reason is because i want better mileage so i would like to know what tuner is a good one to look at and wont kill the bank account either because i know most of them arent cheap thanx guys

 

seem people on here dont care for the Edge, two of my friends have them without any issues, thats what i would get, hypertech makes a pretty cheap on and one of them had that before the edge
