400k and still rolling (slt automatic dodge 2500 diesel)

1995 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 Laramie SLT 2dr Extended Cab LB (5.9L 8cyl naturally aspired 5M)
Bought the truck used from an auction.
previous owner had hauled trailers all over new england in snow/ice (salt corrosion) for 280k miles with jake brake and after-market overdrive.
bad tps and fuel pump had led him to dump it.
got some flakey overdrive issues when cold (showed up when a transmission shop removed the overdrive unit and cut the ground wire)...
125k miles later she's … still "busting a hump," moves right along at 2200 rpms, 15 mpg.
Not going to win any races, but every time I sit down to calculate the cost of replacing her, she makes dollars and sense.
I'll keep her another year and see how she acts.
I'd like to take the cummins out and drop it in another vehicle.
Transmission trouble

1994 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 ST 2dr Regular Cab 4WD LB (5.2L 8cyl naturally aspired 5M)
This has been a reliable vehicle except
for one problem which was fixed by a
recall, & that was that Dodge had
teflon fittings on the automatic
transmission oil lines and once when
hot they got soft and blew off losing
all the transmission fluid and leaving
me stranded 20 miles from nowhere.
I fought with dodge over this poor
design and eventually they had a recall …
and put on steel fittings. Also the
paint is all peeling off now and I am
going to have it repainted. Otherwise I
love this truck and plan to keep it
another 10 years. I have the 5.9
engine.
Awesome Engine..Crappy Brakes Tranny

1994 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 LT 2dr Regular Cab LB (5.2L 8cyl naturally aspired 5M)
Initially we were very pleased with the
truck. Our first problem occured a
couple of weeks after taking it home.
The transmission valve body went out.
Dodge replaced it under warranty no
sweat. The brake rotors, calipers and
front hubs were next. All needed to be
replaced due to excessive wear because
the r/f caliper would bind (a common
ailment with "floating" … calipers).
The truck's saving grace is the 5.9L
Cummins Diesel. Yes it is loud, but it
will pull anything, anywhere, anytime.
If I had it to do over again, I would
buy the 5 speed.
excellent truck
