G... I found both the Dakota and Ram on Craigslist. The Cummins is a 24v but I don't really know what difference that makes. The Dakota has a 5.9l which makes me very interested to give it a shot. My '96 was fun with a 5.2... Curt Sent from my iPhone On Jul 5, 2014, at 10:39 AM, Meade

I did see your email with the Craig's list for the Dodge, that sounds like a nice truck but wow, $12k for a 14 year old truck? Trucks also cost a premium here, I think that is nuts. You've probably found one at a decent price, I just don't understand the truck market. Max Dillon, Charleston SC

I was thinking that this was an improvement. 4 months ago I couldn't find any trucks in the $10-$12k range. Remember I looked at a 2006 Tundra for $17k. I think the Dodge is a better truck. We went over today but they were closed. I'll go back next week. On second look the Dakota for $6k looks

Auto trans, they claim a snowplow package making it tall. No spare tire on it which I'm thinking could bring down the price. It's got a block heater plug, how much am I going to need that? Curt Sent from my iPhone On Jul 5, 2014, at 3:04 PM, Fmiser fmi...@gmail.com wrote: Curt wrote:

Maybe fly down to Kaleb country, spend a week finding a decent truck and then drive it home? Tour Okie acres, load the truck with MB parts for the Chowda-q, visit someone on the way home, call it your summer vacation. Max Dillon, Charleston SC ___

The asking price for a similar truck around here depending on the rust would probably be somewhere in the $13 to $16K range. If it's under 200Kmi, people think they have something. Kevin in Hillsboro Oregon Sent from my iPhone On Jul 5, 2014, at 12:59 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin ka...@striplin.net

Which, the Dakota? A $3k truck around here is full of rust and has over 200,000 miles. That Dakota is the nicest truck for under $10k I've seen in years. I don't think many people around here have bought a truck since 2006... Curt Sent from my iPhone On Jul 5, 2014, at 3:59 PM, Kaleb C.

Yes the Dakota. The ram should be under 10 here, which is still high to me. If you want a truck you should buy it here and drive it back. Sent from my iPhone On Jul 5, 2014, at 4:00 PM, Curt Raymond curtlud...@yahoo.com wrote: Which, the Dakota? A $3k truck around here is full of rust and
