[ChrisOlson]

I stumbled on this truck

looks like a smoking deal

I am interested but a little cash strapped right now



what should i look for in a first gen and what do you guys think about this truck.



1996 dodge 4x4 diesel



I do not know this person nor am i associated with this the seller

looks like he has done all the right upgrades and proper maintenance on it, guess it boils down to if it still drives decent or if its had a rough life on rough roads up there.

Sounds like a smokin deal for sure! At least if the body is good. Not sure what qualifies as a "good" body up there...



Everything needed on these trucks has already been done to that one. I'd look for details on the trans rebuild - should have gotten upgrades like a low-stall billet convertor and a shift kit at least.



Seller says "no longer have use for a diesel. " I recommend psychiatric treatment at once. (After you buy his truck!)

I called and talked to him and he is the second owner the original owner was a Greyhound Bus Mech. that lived in SEATTLE I venture to say that most of those miles are highway miles.



the kid bought the truck for a business venture but the business failed.



the wife is having a kitten about me looking at this truck



whats funny i bought my 99CTD 9 years ago from a Man in Sitka AK

Chris, with all the aftermarket and performance stuff he has on that truck could only mean one thing, perhaps he has hot rodded the truck. If that the case, I wouldn't touch it. I'd rather have a completely stock truck.
