    Bought a 99 2500 V10 Need advice

    I kind of reviving this thread because I've encountered a problem with my v10. It started running rough and missing pretty suddenly. I could hear quite a bit of valve train noise also. I replaced the plugs and plug wires and although it seemed better somewhat, It didn't cure the problem. I...

    Looking to buy a TT, feeling a bit overwhelmed...

    As for slapping the trailers together it's time to consider what the same unit would cost it production was slower and more meticulous. No doubt labor costs would increase dramatically and so would the price. I know many folks SAY they would be willing to pay more (maybe a lot more) for the...

    Bought a 99 2500 V10 Need advice

    I'm new to the forum and I posted this thread on the engine and performance section, but I think I should have posted it here in general discussion. I just bought a 99 2500 with a v10. The truck is 2wd and single cab with 96 K on the odometer. The trim level is Laramie. It's hard to believe...

    I'm new to the forum. I just bought a 99 2500 with a v10. The truck is 2wd and single cab with 96 K on the odometer. The trim level is Laramie. It's hard to believe but this truck is rust free and very clean underneath. The paint is in very nice shape and it has a fiberglass cap painted to...
