O.k. Tell me what you think.

I had a 97 1500 4x4 slt with the 340 engine. I sold it 3 years ago for 2 grand. It had about 170k miles on it. It was a great truck, never had transmission issues. When I towed, I disabled the overdrive...

oh ya, it was that lovely sh$t brown color...



Thing was that I was only offered $600 for trade in, and there were tons of used trucks on the market here. I put it on ebay and a guy from maine purchased it. He said there were not many trucks for sale up there.

Maybe extend your search area and save some money by buying something further away where there are more trucks up for sale.

For the most part the trans problem where fixed, They changed out the valve body kits and drilled a few larger by-pass's and installed a larger trans cooler. Just watch the outer tail carrier bearing on the trans this will fail if the PO did not change out the fluid every 10,000. I would not worry about the mileage as long as the PO did the regular fluid changes and turn-ups , You should see the 350,000 or higher before needing a new motor. I think the price is a little high for a 1500 should be around the 7500.00 range. But on the other hand I would only buy a FORD. Was thinking of selling my 1971 Ford F-350 Ranger High Boy it only has a little over 740,000 Miles and be leave it or not the engine has never been rebuilt been in the family seance new and it's 4x4 . Na never would sell it.
