Things to look for

[James Vellenga]

I am considering purchasing a 2008 Ram 1500 4x4 5.7 Hemi. I was wondering what I should look for and be aware of when I am going over it? Thanks.

Check transmission fluid, make sure it's nice and red. Make sure A/C blows cold and all the functions on the HVAC knobs works. Turn the heat on, smell for coolant. If no coolant smell and good heat. Heater core is in good shape that way. Make sure the 4H and 4L work. Make sure it shifts good, tow/haul- OD off works. These are the things I would check. Of course nothing will be perfect. But these are some important things in my mind.
