I am thinking about buying a dodge tomorrow in atlanta ga. this thing is bad to the bone, it has been lifted 6" with 35" tires. It is a 1996 dodge ram sport 4x4 with 104k miles and
$5000 invested for around $5500 to $6000. what do you guys think.

 

Im thinking thats a lot of miles...has anything been rebuilt/replaced?

Well, if it checks out, congrats on your new purchase. Enjoy it!

 

that is not alot of miles really because all the ones around here are usually around 150k.

 

Thats so funny how people say thats a lot of miles... talking about rebuilds ect..

(NOT trying to start a flame war of ANY kind)
My 91' Yota V6 4X4 (also lifted 6" w/ 33" BFG Muds) has 220K miles..... BUT it DID have to get overhauled @ 170K due to
a bad oil pump. EVERYTHING else stock/original. Fuel pump, water pump, radiator, power steering pump, manual tranny shifts like new, ect... still going strong and gets me to Glamis and back 4 hours each way.. not to mention all the wheeling in the sand @ glamis with it.

@ 104K miles, my truck still looked and literally like brand new. Although, lifted, 4 wheeled, getting beat, it still runs like a champ.
I am the original owner. I just wish it had more power with the 33's.

With that Dodge, if the motor oil has been changed religously... it should be fine for a while.
Its that auto tranny you need to worry about. If it is still original.. it'll go soon.
Try for the low end, $5500... good luck!
