Hello all,

I decided to go with a Dodge this time after many good years with
Chevies. The main issue I had with my S-10s were Head gasket (Not
good)starters and brakes. My S10 Blazer ate up brake pads often.
Anyway I am picking up a 94' Ram and I was wondering what the quirks
are with this? It has the 318 motor. I put 150,000 on my last 318 I
owned so, I am guessing I will have great luck with this one as well.
This truck has 106,000 miles on it. Do these things still have the
Ballest resistor on it? How about that funky oil pressure sending unit
that takes a special socket? How do the trannies hold up in these
things? Anything else I need to know about this truck? Any recalls?
Although it doesn't have a lot of options it has the long bed, AC,
good body and interior. The brakes and tires are new. I am paying
$1500.00 for it. Is that a reasonable price? My Dad is selling it to
me. This will be my second mopar. I had a 72 Dart as well. That was
a great car. Anyway any thoughts or suggestions about this truck would
be appreciated.

Regards
Michael Fell

Hell, anything that looks half decent and runs well is worth 1500 bucks. I
hope you don't think your dad is trying to rip you off. You know where he
lives <g>. I had great luck with my '95 (5.9L 2500 4x4 long bed). The dealer
gave me 4700 bucks for it when I traded it for my '03. I think you're doing
OK.

The biggest quirk would be the weak and often blown intake plenum gasket.
The intake uses a bellypan, sealed with a crappy gasket that sometimes
collapses and allows the intake to suck in oil from the lifter valley. This
results in carbon in the combustion chambers, leading to pinging. The fix
is to pull the manifold, remove the gasket, and replace it with RTV. Not a
huge job, but a mild PITA.

Bal-what? Nah... the computer controls the voltage that gets delivered
to the coil.

Auto or manual?
