Well .... I don't keep any documentation at all and I think I take pretty good care of my Ram. I don't keep the documentation because if I actually kept track of how much I actually spent an it I think I'd get sick.

Remember that thing I mentioned about 8am? It's bought.
So, now what to check?
Suspension looks and feels good.
Steering looks and feels good.
Body looks good.
Interior looks good.
Engine looks and sounds good. (55 block)
Clutch engauges high with a long throw, but I'm used to a mechanical 1965, not hydraulic 2001. Is this ok?
Driver window was dragging, they greased it and it quit.

First on the to buy list, a service manual and a fuel pressure meter. Any suggestions?

Lol, no, not on hers. If it were mine however stacks and an edge with attitude would be likely.
Found a holley electric fuel pressure gauge 0-15PSI for $74 at jegs and a haynes manual for $22 at barnes and nobles. Are those both good ideas, or can I get better prices elsewhere?

is it a gen 2 truck or a gen 3? 2003 has different body style than the '02

the manuals are already here to download... just need to know which one you have to be able to point you to the right one.
