Hello, My name is William and I just recently bought a new(to me) 2001 Ram 1500, 4x4 Offroad Edition.
220,000 and looks like it needs a bit of work.
First off I had to replace the windshield which wasn't that big of a deal.
They previous owner told me the heater core is bad because they're hearing a gurgling sound behind the dash, but i'm not noticing any coolant or liquid on the passenger floor of the cab, however I am seeing my coolant levels drop after a decent trip, so the next thing i think I need to do is the water pump, because it's squealing a bit when driving and i'm noticing a little bit of a coolant drip after I drive it a short distance. I'm hoping the gurgling is just air in the lines.
All in all, it's a great truck and I talked them down a bit on the price so I expected to have to do a bit of work to it. Anyone in the area free next week to do some work?
