im looking at too trucks right a 2001 dodge ram 2500 with 5.9L 24Valve with 147K miles for $11,900 and 2004 dodge 2500 with 5.9L 24 valve high output with 204K miles and rebuilt transmission with only 12K miles on it for $15,900. i would prefer the 2004 just because its a newer truck with new tranny but the 2001 is nice too. both trucks are automatics witch is what i want and both free of rust. so witch one would you take?

 

2004 it has more powder and less moving parts. == good luck ==

 

i loved my 01 but nothing compares to a good ol CR

 

I've had both and good luck too but with the 2001 you will always have the vp44 and is the 2001 a ''53'' block? If it has the ''53'' I would avoid it. Also the 2001 should have an after market lift pump not oem.
