    1998 Dodge Ram B3500 Thoughts

    Thanks for the replies. I have attached a picture and had previously attached the bills from the work that seller had done. Not sure if you can open or where it is.

    Hello all hope everyone is healthy these days! My teens and I have decided we want to purchase a van. We would not be fulltime as we have already done that and they didn't like it.  I am looking at an 02 Ford E350 superduty. It has 103K miles on it, great bones BUT it has spun a rod and needs...
