Looking at a 98 3/4 dodge

[YJay90]

V10, auto, 4x4, extended cab, longbox, plow. 64k miles, dealer is asking $11k. Thoughts? Good truck (year, reliability wise)?

I would only get it if I can pay $9k.

It's only got 64k on it, but they were hard miles - plow. That makes me a bit hesitant.

How reliable is the V10 with age and hard use? It's gonna drink gas like a mother, but I bet that it'll pull like a freight train

Im no expert on the V10s but I believe they had overheating issues.

the v10 does better than the hemi on gas, pulls like a 454 on roids, and seems to hold up well. I know a guy that has one in his DD with like 160k on it, and the truck will be gone around the engine before that thing dies.

I have a family friend that towed a 35' trailer across the country several times with his and loved it, well until he got his new diesel and his life changed.:thumbsup:

Thanks fir the help guys! Maybe I'll go for a test drive tomorrow. Anything else I should know?

Back before the SRT10, some guys I work with were stuffin Viper motors in that bodystyle (BR) Ram. Kinda cool huh. That was way before they were production. Lots of bugs but once they got going.hehe.

Also, I think that the 98s had some ugly rims on them. 3 point type? They didnt last long.
