Thanks for the great info. The price is $1500 which seems very reasonable to me.
The tranny is most concerning to me with the mileage and the owner saying nothing has been done.
When the owner says that he probably means he hasn't done **** to it lol. Iv seen autos go to 300k. It's all in how you drive it, maintain it, and care for it. If you buy it I'd put new shift solenoids in it, new fluid and filter, new torque converter. Do that and it may last. Thier good trucks and everybody downs the trannys and some are complete **** but some are a gem as well......take care of it and it'll take care of you....
I have my 1996 dodge ram. Bought it 6 years ago. I drive it like a bat out of hell. I speed iv towed stuff that most wouldn't even put behind a cummins. Had weight on it so heavy it bent the leaf springs. I drove it all over the east and south sides of these united states. The automatic lasted great up until September 2014. AND It Had enough....So I thought. The trans did not blow....It was my transfer case. I swapped it to the nv4500 5 speed anyway. My auto is still good.
ALL BECAUSE I TOOK CARE OF IT. it rebuilt a long time ago. Tho
Change the fluid every 15k mi and change the solenoids and torque converter every 100k or so.
