Like Tommy said, no one can really give you an accurate answer without at least inspecting it.
That said, I've owned 40+ vehicles in my time and my 2000 5.2L conversion van has been the 2nd most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. With care and regular maintenance there are still a number of these Dodge Ram vans on the road with over 270k miles.
I wouldn't sell or trade mine for twice what I've got in it

I had an '89 B250 with 5.2 that I put over 250K on before it rusted out and I quit using it in 2001, but the engine still ran strong and never gave me a problem.
I had a '94 B250 that I put on 270K miles before I wrecked it in 2005... engine ran strong, never had a problem, tranny replaced at 117K ( I did a lot of towing with it).
I now have an '01 B2500 with 170K... engine is strong, just replaced the tranny... I have not done a lot of towing with this one and the transmission was not shot, I just want this van to be 100% as I only drive it long distances to travel and plan on keeping it for a number of years.
Based on my experience, I would have the tranny serviced and looked at, as my rebuilt unit just cost me $2600 installed.
