Not sure if anyone remembers but a while back I sold the ram in my sig to look for another and ended up buying a '72 chevy and taking my mom on a cruise. But I'm back, maybe... Got an offer today, to trade my chevy for a 1996 (I think, maybe a 97) ram 3500 dually, solid front axle, 2wd, flatbed, 5 speed, a p pumped 12 valve cummins, guy says its not the original motor, it came out of a 01 or 02, has about 200k on the motor and 300k on the truck. all stock other than 6 inch stack and has it turned up a bit from towing. And the damn 5th gear is gone, so I'd have to deal with that.
I am a complete diesel noob but have always had diesel fever since I saw my first CTD fly by on the highway. But dont know a whole lot about them, so tell me please! everthing you know about the 12 valve, and about the 5th gear fix. Does this sound like a decent truck? I can post some pics tomorrow when he sends them to me.
So let me know what yall think, I'd love to come back to the RF family
