Sad day guys and gals...

[LilRamMan]

I think I'm gonna be leaving the Ram family
I dont really have a need for a pickup right now and my moms b day is coming up and shes always wanted for as long as I can remember to go on a cruise so I'm gonna take her and thats knocking off about 1500 of my budget. But she deserves this more than I need a truck.

My Ram was my first truck and I do plan on coming back maybe in a year or so to another Ram. Maybe even a cummins if I can save it up


Most decent rams will now be out of my price range. I am looking at a few 90's jeep cherokees for around $1500. Any thoughts on them?

That's a pretty awesome thing to do for your moms.

 

[smiley]

Ram people are the best

 

[RompinRam]

Dude props to you for doing that for your mom. Takes a lot to sacrifice what you really want for something. Whatever you choose, both are a good decision.

Nice thing to do for your Mom. I'm not a big fan of Jeeps. I had a 98 Jeep GC 5.9 Limited. They seem to have too many issues for me.

 

[quietpeen]

Props to you man. There Will always be rams out there

 

[LilRamMan]

Thanks guys, and dont worry, I'll be back to Ram soon

You are doin a great thing there bud.

The Cherokees are usually pretty good. I would do your best to get the 4.0 I6 under the hood. I would love to get my hands on one too as a DD/play toy

 

[LilRamMan]

Ah dangit there was a 94 with the 4.0 for 1600 but it sold last night. dangit.
thanks for the info.

 

[TexasRammer]

wow, props to you bud. Youll get one eventually! I agree with what Scott said

 

[PinkCamoDodge]

That's very selfless of you. Kudos to you

 

[LilRamMan]

Thanks everyone. I told her about it today, she flipped. In a good way lol. She's pretty happy and I'm going to look at a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 tonight so I think I'll be happy too It has the 5.2 just like in my Ram.

 

[LilRamMan]

Well that jeep was a nogo. Trans was slippin pretty bad.

BUT! I have a pretty tough decision. I found a 1995 Ram 1500 4x4 with 261,000 miles. The guy says that it needs a $50 sensor to get the overdrive to work. And when you get up around 55-60 it starts rattling a little, but when you hit the OD button it stops.

He was asking $1500 and I said I was gonna pass cuase it needs a headlight wiring issue fixed to pass inspection and my budget now is 1500 after the cruise. So he dropped to 900 bucks. I still passed. Which I think was a mistake. But I'm not sure, so Im asking yall.

Is a 95 1500 4x4 with 261000 miles worth 900 plus a few hundred in repairs?
and dont worry I know with 260k it wont be lasting me another 10 years, I plan on only keeping this for 6 months or so until I can really upgrade like I was wanting to before the cruise.

 

[LilRamMan]

Here it is. And thats a rattle can paint job, not too bad actually.

Gotta do what you gotta do man. My dad was pushing me to use my 03 Ram as a down payment on a Cummins, but instead, i bought a Lexus and gave my old man the truck so he could retire his junker van. Nothing better than finally seeing him proudly own something nice after 45 years of work and hardship.

that was pretty nice of ya to give it to your dad.

bump, I need some advice lol. Seems like for 900 bucks for a 4x4 its worth it but I wanna check.

 

[WhiteExpress]

The 90's Cherokee's are indeed sweet sweet vehicles.
I'm looking at a '92 Currently.

 

[LilRamMan]

Yea I like em, but I like Ram 4x4s more
any thoughts on it?

 

[TexasRammer]

Idk that sounds like a good deal to me. bump for ya though

 

[Sagebrush2500]

No one has much need for a truck until they get rid of it!!! Trust me - my dad "didn't need" a truck neither! You'll be back!!!

Great thing you're doing for your mom!
