Good Buy?
 
1995 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 Diesel **12V**Auto*Cold AC*Great buy* $4900

only thing it would be used for is the sled and drive through town every now an then.

im going to do more searching about the KDP and other issues, but ive never really messed with a dodge, so what ya think?

Looks pretty good for the $ - but the statement "No leaks or blow by" would have me :humm:.

slowtowpig 08-10-2008 10:10 AM

i just wounder how long that cummins will last with 231k and pulling a sled? a trans and t-case would be the first major mod.

Dr. Evil 08-10-2008 10:15 AM

If this truck has been taken care of - 231k really isnt a lot of miles. Guys have pulled the head of with more miles and the cylinders look great - even have the cross hatch marks. The Cummins is a tough engine.

don't buy it.... i'm on my way to get it now.... lol..... j/k

i'd buy that in a heartbeat.... but i me and my wife have no more vehicle payments now so she would definitely object to me getting one.....

the only thing you would HAVE to replace is the tranny if it is the origional one and you start throwing power through it......

Just be careful, there's a lot of craigslist scams!

gone ropin 08-31-2008 12:51 AM

hey i got 295,000 plus miles mostly hauling a horse trailer to ropings across the country, on my 2nd tranny now, and orignial t-case, still has great compression, and bore scoped it at 260K and still had cross hatches in cylinders, very little blowby, and still goes 104MPH in the 1/4 mile, and planning on pulling with it 9/6 at the pulls in alvarado, go or blow baby!!! :U:

only reason for replacing the last tranny was the wife blew up the torqueconverter and twisted the input shaft and upper planets, while raceing a powerstruggle,
it did it after she broke traction at about 80 and it hooked up and POP goes the tranny,

slowtowpig 08-31-2008 08:51 AM

the dodge got sold before i got to it...


a powerstruggle huh:madd:

I told ya we could trade your Pstroke for my white 12v unless you want the balls out black one that is probably not even street legal outside of Wyoming lol

Yea with 231k on the clock i would be combin thru that truck. The white 12v that i bought and then i completly rebuilt (interior, exterior, frame blah blah blah) had 380k on the clock ran like a raped ape but i was a little iffy on goin crazy on it. I feel much better about myself after rebuilding it.

slowtowpig 08-31-2008 09:55 AM

one of these days i will by one. i have the cash to go out and by one but i would rather finance. i dont like handing out that much money just incase we have a energency etc.

E2theRock2 08-31-2008 10:23 AM

My dad has an old ranch truck 12v that has 412k on it and has been taken care of decently...... I would ask him how much if you were interested the truck runs like a top never leaks always starts...................

slowtowpig 08-31-2008 03:48 PM

sure.

E2theRock2 09-01-2008 05:16 PM

Wont sell it but i know where to find a couple others for ya

Red_Rattler 09-01-2008 05:22 PM

Do tell.... I thinkin I want to build a pullin truck I've been scanning CL to no luck on a cleaner cheap dodge..... :pca1:

E2theRock2 09-01-2008 05:33 PM

there are alot of ranchers around here that i know that have 12v and have no idea the power potencial or the value of these trucks so I can pick them up for cheap. My dad had no idea that the first 12v I had could put out 600 horse at the wheels he thought it was junk. I'll talk to some of the other ranchers next time I'm out by them here in a few days.
