    Another drive home in a bargain vehicle that is in sketchy condition hoping you get to a gas station and the parts store. AAR at it's finest. I think that truck is a great buy no matter where you live and a real bargain in a lot of places.

      I like these year Rams. It was a good buy at what he got it for. He could easily flip it for 5,000 with the stalling and brake issues sorted.

      Yeah he's lucky that back brake did not burst into flames because with the heat and that brake fluid being highly flammable it could of been real bad I know people who had that happen to them the brake fluid got on the hot brakes burst into flames and by the time the fire trucks come the cars were gone up in flames but I'm sure he will learn one day but he's real lucky it did not happen with that truck.

      Stay far away from those cheap glue on covers. They will bust all of the mounting tabs that support the bezel, radio, and headlight switch. I learned that the hard way when I had to replace the heater core on my '97. I had to fiberglass repair all of the damage that cover caused. Just bite the bullet and buy the Mopar replacement for $300 and it's done right.

      Whenever there is a demand for something, the price finds a way to go up. A lot of people have found out about these auctions and due to this, the days of finding cheap and serviceable vehicles are over. Since these auctions are no longer best kept secrets, you're literally just using a different flavor of Ebay Motors.
