Well... It's been a while, my life and my lifestyle have changed and if I'm real honest I'm 100% tired of truck payments.
All that aside, I'm lookin at a '04 Ram 1500 4x SLT. Of the 10's of Dodge / Ram trucks, I've never owned a 3G. It seems that the computers on the 03/04s are not readily tune-able, but I'm not really planning on doing anything too crazy (if at all) to it.
The only known issues are an intermittent power steering issue, and the pass door switch panel seems inoperative (though they work when controlled from driver's door).
What things should I look for on it? Overall it seems clean, panel gaps are... well in line with the age of the vehicle. Doesn't look like the fenders have ever been off / repaired. Bedside is straight, can't see any repairs on anything. Current owner bought it used about 2 years ago, it's got 141k on it, fires right up and runs smooth without any tick (very different than my '16 Ram Hemi with 143k).
Talk to me friends!
