By John | on Friday, July 28, 2017
Be aware of the 99, 24 valve 53 block with a Cummins. They were made in Brazil and have a very high rate of cracked blocks. Check it out before you buy one. Other than that, love the ruck!… - 5.0
2002 Dodge Ram Cummins 5-speed 4x4
By Dwayne | on Friday, October 28, 2022
Good truck overall. Simple, strong, reliable. There are four things you might want to watch for: (1) injection pump from 1998.5 to 2002. (2) heater cores from 1994 to 2002. (3) dash cracking from 1994 to 2002, there was a dash style redesign in 1998.5 (4) balljoints usually need replacement every 50k to 75k or so depending on wheel and tire size, the bigger the wheels, the more stress on balljoints. You most likely will have a problem with the injection pump known as the vp44 from 1998.5 to 2002. 1994 to 1998 model years use the Bosch p7100 pump. The heater core usually is on its way out by this point in these trucks. Expect to buy at least a dash cover from LMC truck. Hopefully, you won't have to replace the balljoints. I would not recommend buying an automatic transmission truck of this generation (1994-2002). My truck is a 5-speed (nv4500), but the better transmission is the 6-speed (nv5600). I would not recommend buying a truck that has had a tuner or programmer on it, nor would I buy one that has been lifted because the stress it adds to the steering components. The 1500 series truck was the same body style from 1994 to 2001. But the 2500 and 3500 series trucks were the same from 1994 to 2002. The 1500 series truck received a body style change in 2002, a year before the 2500 and 3500 series trucks.… - 4.0
Best free truck I've ever owned.
By Papa | on Monday, May 26, 2025
When my company went under, a relative gifted me this truck with the quad cab and long bed. It has over 200k miles on it. I've owned it for 5 years, put 125k miles on it myself. New power steering pump, sealed and recharged the ac, and changed the trans fluid. Other than that, oil changes and one new set of plugs. This truck is dependable, comfortable, and drives like a luxury car. I bet it gets to a million miles.…
