My DD will no longer be the Maxima. It'll be in the family, but I'll be driving this for work now
Excuse the dealers ads




It's a 5.9L 2002 Dodge Ram 2500. With an 8 foot 3/4 ton bed. 94k and change miles, and nearly zero rust.

I'll still be around probably, but I just want to thank everyone for taking the time to answer my questions and giving me a place to learn about something I've been interested in.

 

good luck with ur new ride

 

a dodge

 

I have to agree...

Not a Dodge fan but best of luck.

 

yeah , im kinda chevy/nissan for trucks myself. good luck

 

Mr Gone will love you

 

mopar or no car?

 

Good luck man! I got me a 99 durango same 5.9 v8 with with about 91,xxx and well lets just say shes been in the shop. The tranny is weak and she was leaking oil but $1,500 later she runs like new.....

 

Thank goodness you kept the maxipad..Youre gonna need a DD.

 

Yea I know dodge hasn't really built itself a great brand, but I'm hoping for the best. Hopefully it lasts.

 

Don't listen to the dodge naysayers, the full size v8 dodge trucks are pretty much major defect free. Very dependable trucks all around. There is a reason the full size dodge truck was the best selling truck for alot of years

Enjoy the v8 powaahs

See av and sig fo new ride

 

any dodge with an overdrive trans is likely to have failure unless someone was religious about maintaining it early on.

 

hopefully, this one has.
also, since it's a 3/4 ton, mebe it has a better trans?

and even if you DO have problems, these transmisssions should be way cheaper to rebuild, since there are more vehicles with the same transmission, vs a vg-auto.

 

First thing to do...change all fluids/filters etc.

 

same crap as far as engine/trans. my uncle bought a 96 B2500 (dodge van 3/4 ton) brand new in 96. It had the trans replaced between 00 and 05 (forget when exactly as i only recall which minivan of mine was in the shop at the time, my 96 caravan of course) at 66k or so. so yeah they are crap totally in my opinion.

 

nice ride greeny

On my to do list for tomorrow.
