Anyone know about some common problems with this truck, we used to own this truck and sold it to my uncle cause' my dad got laid off from work and didn't have a job (he has one now at south eastern frieght lines) but now i'm thinking of buying it back from him, only thing i know about hte truck is that it's a pain to get it to stop soon, you got to STOMP on the brakes, he said to make an offer on it so i'm thinking about 11k for it (it was worth about 13k when we sold it) i want to give him payments on it to and that should be around 200-275 a month for it and it'll be paid off in 5 months***. Should I get it? It'd be a nice addition to my diesel collection.


*** screwed up my math it'd be bout 3 years and it'd be paid off...

I dont know if I would do it with the way gas prices are, espeacially for diesel fuel, but you are a guy who seems like you enjoy diesels so it'll probably work good for you.

ive got a 96 with the cummins. the only problems ive had was my intake heater went out as well as my block heater and a relay for the fuel pump. other than standard maintenance its been a real decent rig. good luck, bryan

my father work in florida doin the huricane clean up....and he has a 97' dodge cumings turbo and it gets about 24 mpg highway and 18 pullin his 18.ft dump trailer........the only problem that the dodges have is that ther is a bolt/nut i dont member wich it is but it baks off then u think that your whole tranny just blew out but u usually jsut loose 1st and 5th gear and thats the only prob he has,to fix that nut dodge sells an upgraded one with wont bak off...this cost $38 but u have to take the tranny apart and pull the 5th gear cluster but it aint to bad this is on the standerd of course........other than that dodge is a kik a$$ hard workin truk with pull'n power to boot

Diesel is still cheaper than gas.... and diesel motors still get you almost twice as much mileage over gas. I'd buy it back as long as your uncle took care of it. I am eyeballing a 2500HD DMAX Chevy crew cab right now.
