Will probably be joining the truck market in the near future. Had initially been looking at F150s but came across an 09 ram 1500 5.7 4x4. 96k miles for a reasonable price. Had not previously considered these trucks but this one caught my eye. Even has the bed side tool boxes.
Been trying to do a bit of research on common issues for these trucks, things to watch out for. Initially came across some really bad stuff, like dodgeramhell.com. Talks about some vibrations from the mds system and a rear end whining noise. But sometimes it's hard to gauge real problems vs someone who is just disappointed over smaller issues in their new vehicle.
So can you guys share any words of wisdom on things to watch for in this truck, especially at higher mileage than most?
Thanks!
