So in other words just test drive it .. And make sure everything works right....just make sure that it starts easily cold and hot, no smoking, and the tranny shifting is good......???????????

When you test drive it, make sure you have a chance to get up to interstate speeds at some point. We drove one truck that was fine under 50mph. Above that, the front end started to vibrate. At 60+, it became scary (death wobble). Needless to say, we walked on that one.

Default rear end

I talked to the local dealership-- the 3500 came with 3:73 or 4:11 the 2500 depending on the year also had 4:11 3:73 and 3:55

Hope that helps

Look for idle haze at the tailpipe. That's a common telltale injector going bad sign.
