Hello all,
So I've been pondering the thought of buying me a diesel burner lately. I love my '98 Ram 1500 with the V6, but since it was my grandfathers, I really don't want to rack up miles on it.
I started out quickly searching Craigslist and found several trucks ranging from $1,500 to even one 2001 truck sitting at $17k. All of them were below 250,000 miles.
I don't know much about diesels, but I know that when properly maintained, they can run forever.
So what're some common problems on these trucks? I'm hunting a truck with an auto transmission and 4x4, but I can live with a stick if the price is right.
I'm 18 and about to start college, I just bought a 2014 Charger R/T and while I love that car, I don't wanna take it out when the conditions are less than favorable. That's why I'm hunting another truck.
Let me know your opinions.
