New from SoCal!

whats up everyone. so this will be my first automotive forum since ive mainly been on the motorcycle ones so if you have an r6 then ive probably seen you at r6-forum.com. Anyways i will be purchasing a 2002 Ram SLT 1500 at the end of this month or if all goes well sooner than that. The truck has 102k miles and is pretty much stock. Now the kicker ive never really been into trucks/cars but recently i found out you cant carry groceries on a crotch rocket . hopefully everyone here is as chill as the bike forum. I have a few questions?

whats a good price for a clean title 02 ram 1500 4x4 w 102k miles?

are there any problem with it since its the first year of that model?

is there a pdf service manual available or something of that sort for the truck?

whats the best bang for your buck as far as power mods? or diy recommended mods?

well good meeting you all and hopefully i get to meet some of you especially if you stay in Socal.

Looks like a nice clean truck. It's already got the black and blue theme going. Smoke them taillights and get some JJ headlights for the front of it. Black housings with blue shrouds.

I haven't a clue on price, I often use nadaguides.com for pricing. It's a decent baseline. Don't forget you have to adjust if it's clean / show signs of good maintenance. People always act like that's THE bottom line for pricing. It's just a market average.
