[d250]

Buying a 2002 1500 rare 360 4x4 4 door anything to look out for also wondering what type of wheels you guys run on third gens.
Anyone have srt 10 wheels on?

That's a nice looking truck. Looks like it's been taken care of.

What, don't like the flower petals lol? SRT wheels are not the hot ticket for a 4x4, especially with a woefully underpowered 360. They're 22x10's and are setup that way to try and make a 5000+ pound barge try to handle like a car lol. You could get replicas, which are available in 20x9 (like your stock wheels). Any 1500 Ram wheel from 2002 to 2018 will fit. I have 4th gen sport wheels:

They make replica SRT-10 wheels in all different shapes and sizes, if you love the look (I definitely do) then go for it, who cares what someone else thinks its your truck nothing wrong with them babies on a 4x4. I dont know much about the 360 other than the one I had that was a awesome motor to me, 92 power ram 250 w/ 360 and I sold it running perfect with right around 270ish k on it, no issues, and mine was no **** it had decent power. Just my .02

Recon title then? With a respray and frame sprayed it's a gamble at what's been done and how well it was done

$8000 sounds very high with a respray and not crazy low miles. If mint original and low miles maybe.
My 2003 Laramie 1500 with 80,000 miles got 10-11mpg and seemed way underpowered when I towed my 17' 3500# travel trailer.

Yes truck was clearly redone and frame was sprayed I was hoping it was 100% original pristine condition the fuel mileage wouldn’t matter to me as the reliability and longevity is much better in the 360 compared to the 4.7 and 5.7 hemi

Did the 3rd Gen 360s have the intake plenum problem that the 2nd Gens had?

My 2001 had 330k miles when I handed it up to Dad. It's wearing out, though, and in need of a rebuild or replacement. Not bad for a 20-year-old motor, I think. I never had problems with the actual motor. Transmission and rear end were another story.

.

Yes they did. My '03 1500 5.9 did anyway and it only had something like 80,000 miles on it.

My trusty 4x4 handles pretty decent with the 22's

Like I said, make a 5000+ pound barge try to handle like a car lol. But let's be honest, how much offroad time does that pavement queen see?

 

[CorDog009]

It handles much better than it did with the stock 20's and 275/60's. It'll go through anything that I don't need a 4wheeler to go through. Did fine with the foot + of snow and ice we got a couple months ago. But I'm old enough to not purposely try to tear up stuff to try and be cool. I live on a dirt road, so it sees dirt or mud every time I drive it.

Ain't that the truth.
