So I picked up a 1997 Ram 2500 5.9 a few weeks ago and im pretty happy with it. 205k miles and it would appear to have seen reasonable maintence. The trans has a drain plug on it, obviously not stock. Im not sure if the trans has been replaced or not, the last owner had it from 199K-204K and is around 95 years old now. Old old dude.
My uncle recently found his new job at the head of Meyers plow sales for the commercial division of a local dealership. He told me he could get me a solid deal on a plow. I would use it for my driveway, a few neighbors, and...thats about it. I live in upstate ny, so we get some good snow every now and again but mostly moderate stuff. Could it handle it? Or is it a terrible idea? I want to get a long life out of this truck.
Also, I plan on changing every oil/fluid on the truck soon anyway (minus freon and the power steering which already got done with a new pitman shaft seal)
