[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 298417, member: 2862"] Ugh, that was a screaming deal. 137K miles on that engine is just barely broke in. If you find another one, count on the front end needing to be rebuilt with those kind of miles. To have it done in a shop will be around $1000. And if you should buy one, overfill the trans by 1 quart of oil. The fill plug on the Getrags was too low for the orientation of the trans in the truck and fifth gear could give some trouble. To give you a point of reference, a 1991 Dodge 250 Reg Cab in nice shape (strong engine, decent body, good front end) up here will sell for $8000 (Around $7K US. A little less if it wasn't the intercooled version. Half way through 91, they switched to intercooled). You can't beat those old 1st gen Dodges as work trucks. As was mentioned, they ride like lumber wagons, but there simply wasn't anything tougher built. As a side note, should you find a 1991 non-intercooled, you can install the intercooler from a late build 91, and end up with more ponies than a 1994. The early build 91's used a bigger injector, and they responded very well to intercooling. Rod [/QUOTE]
