#121 of 172 do i purchase? by 70ss454_man Feb 08, 2007 (10:10 pm)
i am looking into purchasing a 2000 1500 SLT laramie, with every option. the truck is in perfect condition, inside and out, never been smoked in, wrecked, no problems in service history, and is up to date. the owner added no mods to it. it has the 5.9, with 49000 miles. the owner is asking 13000 for it. is it worth it? any opinions/ideas? are there any common problems i should know about? please post back soon as this truck might not last all that long. thanks! ~tom

#125 of 172 scratch the 2000 by 70ss454_man Feb 17, 2007 (11:47 pm)
that truck got sold the same day i went to look at it. this time, ive found a 1995 dodge ram SLT Laramie 3/4T 4x4 with only 33000 miles. it has been garaged every day of its life and is in showroom condition. has all the bells and whistles with the V-10. the owner is asking 9000 for it. should i do it? its sooo nice, but im worried about the low mileage, beign that the truck obviousley must have sat for SOME time. ~tom Replies to this message: loncray (Feb 20, 2007 7:15 am) 70ss454_man (Feb 20, 2007 8:55 am)

Replying to: 70ss454_man (Feb 17, 2007 11:47 pm) Well, even the '95 Rams are good trucks - but a truck with that big Viper-derived engine sucks fuel like a jet plane. If you can afford the gas - remembering that the engine is at its most fun when it's burning the most gasoline - go for it. If you're looking to haul things or even just have a full size with really good mileage, look for a Cummins. Replies to this message: 70ss454_man (Feb 20, 2007 8:55 am)

Replying to: loncray (Feb 20, 2007 7:15 am) The gas is not a factor for me. the bad thing is, when i finally talked to the guy, he sold the truck a few hours before i called. damn. ~tom
#128 of 172 Sitting Time by guy7 Feb 22, 2007 (8:11 am)
I recencently purchased an 06 CTD. I am not driving it very often as the old CTD is still doing duty. It maysit for a couple of weeks at a time. Is there anything that I should do to make sure fluids don't go bad,especially fuel. Also are the rest of the CTD owners out there that live in cold climates adding fuel conditioner. Does this affect warranty status? My older truck is used much more often and I don't worry as much about fluids going bad.

Replying to: guy7 (Feb 22, 2007 8:11 am) Only thing I ever add to my fuel is anti-gel when it's very cold. Otherwise, just use a reputable fuel source (preferably a truck stop with high usage and turnover) to make sure your fuel is clean.   The rest of the fluids should be fine after a week or two.   kcram - Pickups Host

Replying to: guy7 (Feb 22, 2007 8:11 am) I agree with KC about the anti-gel and fueling at a high-turnover station, and you might want to drain the water trap every now and again too.
