Hey /o/ I just sold my DD and want a truck now budget is ~4.5k looking at 90's trucks and holy fuck these dodge rams are sexy
this will be my first truck, guide me
Dodge of that era = worst interior of the big three and God awful automatics.
I had a 1500 that was pretty good.

posting of this quality = shit
The ram had a better interior than most of the trucks of that era. the transmission found in the v8/v10 and diesel trucks is a 46/47re, basically a 727, one of the strongest transmissions ever made.
You will want a v8, preferably the 5.9 but the 5.2 will work. It is old school with FI, so you will have a dizzy, cap, plugs etc etc. I never really had any major problems with mine.

I'd stay away from Rams, OP. Their drive lines are not great. Either get you a Ferd or Chebby or Toyoter.
>Captcha was pickup trucks.
I love 90's rams but they're not worth it. Every fucking truck has cancer and is rotted out beyond repair

they were ((ok)) for the v10s, the diesels made too much torque and ate through the 46/47rh-re's

why do you need a truck?
>>15194582
90s Rams get body rust that's a fact

That's why you get a manual
>>15193574
Go manual, and get a 5.9 or 8.0 gasser and you'll do just fine.
Plan on replacing the front u joints since no one does it until they fail

you failed to provide more photos of that cum guzzler in the other thread. I am disappoint. imgur some.
id get a really clean GMT400 or a decent GMT800 in that price range.

I was just at the lake with her Tuesday and she was in a bikini top and stretch pants making sand titties but I didn't even take any pics of her I'm desensitized

Look, as a big Mopar guy, I can't advise against the 90s Rams hard enough. They aren't taken care of and are universally falling apart.
Get an 80s D-150. It's the same truck underneath with a way more sturdy body. Interiors are shit, but they work like a motherfucker. A good 360 will cost you less than a grand in most areas and the 4x4s are burly SOBs.

Look for one of the Dakotas with a 360 in it.
>>15198513
What about the 5.2 or the 4.7?
I'm looking at v-8's because I will be towing but I imagine the mpg on the 5.9 360 is abysmal
why do you need a truck?

Gonna be towing for an uncle of mine as a side-job
I just lost my job as a welder, going to get my certs in a month and I'll be free to work weekends with him
