I'm finally looking at getting back into a Ram truck after several years. I really like a local one that's for sale but have a concern. It's a 07' std cab w/ 160k, 4.7 v8. Current owner says it needs a pinion bearing in the rear differential and so it hasn't been driven. My question is this.... first of all is that normal? I guess i could get so worn that it's not driveable. How can a mechanic check the tranny pre purchase with out driving the truck?? I don't have much mechanical background so forgive me if this is a goofy question. TIA!!
