hey maco, if i do buy this truck i think my first road trip is gonna be up to monkeys a$$, massachusetts to kick your a$$!

Like I said, I wouldn't worry about the trans if it was me. My DAKOTA I had used the same trans in it, and I wasn't worried in the slightest about it. The trans behind the 3.9L, 5.2L, and the 5.9L was a COMPLETELY different trans that did have issues with lasting past 60-70K miles. Most of the newer ones seem to go well into the 125K+ range from what I have seen of them. Some have failed, but they normally fail around 30K or so if there is an issue with them.

Well, then certainly buy it and come up this way and kick MJ a$$!

I will bring the beer and camera!



Perhaps MJ is still out fishing for tog's, I would have expected a report with pic's in the fishing section by now.

CTT, so you didn't get the truck?

[charlie_the_tuna]

deal fell through. guy was less than forthcoming with the vehicle history. turns out the first owner was a stone company. they beat the sh!t out of it. three previous owners. two accidents.
guy told me it was a one owner car and the guy only used it to pull his jetski. i asked him if he wanted to re-negotiate. he said no. i said good luck with the sale.
now i'm looking at dakotas as well because i just cant find the hemi ram in my price range.
