n8ball2013 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 tranny in mine went around 130k. motor is still going strong. its got a 5.7 in it so an lt1 350. they run forever and aftermarket is retarded for them. its clena. I bought my truck becaues I like the body style of it. if you like the body style that mileage is unheard of.

Tarball Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 For the price and milage I would say it's a good buy. Like someone else said, check the carfax.

IBleedMusick Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 The one I got had minor issues but it was well taken care of and is running strong. My mechanic saw no real serious issues just the usual ish you get in a high mileage truck but if that truck has 67k original miles jump on it because if taken care of the right way it will make you very happy. Plus it's clean as a bish I would say haggle it down a little but def go for it. 2013 Dodge Charger Build Log 1996 Ford Explorer XLT 5.0Build Log 2005 Honda Civic LX Coupe Build Log SMD SUPER SELLER!!!!My Selling Feedback

Any other things to look hard at? I know the tranny seals and tranny slippage can be issues on these. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
n8ball2013 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 honestly trannys are the big things that like to go on these. Climb under neath and check for rusting frame etc any leaks from the rear bell housing that type of thing. definitely run a carfax. that price is decent but not too good to be true.

tainted Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 Check if tranny was replaced..planets like to randomly die with no warning. Check if water pump, tpi injector, fuel pump have been changed. Those are the only major issues. Once you get past that your good.
