i just today looked at this 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 Mark III, which the owner (a friend of a friend) has to sell by the 27th:<br><br><a target="_blank" href="http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/cto/2717891262.html">http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/cto/2717891262.html</a><br><br>is there anything about the dodge ram conversions i should know? so far i've heard they have real bad (ie every 60k miles) tranny problems. also the owner has to get the fuel pump fixed, so i couldn't even test drive it. it does have a new tranny & some other stuff, & we've worked out a deal where i give her a $600 deposit so she can fix the pump, then i can test-drive it when it's driveable, & decide then. she said it sat in a garage for 10 years before she bought it.... woof. but the price seems right, for my budget especially. probably won't get too crazy on the conversion to a living space -- thinking i'll just use it to get to the west coast, then trade it for a more secure, less tricked-out van of some type.<br><br>anyway i was curious whether you seasoned pros thought this was worth buying. i gotta let her know by tonight! thanks to anyone who can toss a couple cents at this<br><br>-gabby<br><br>
