Thanks guys. Besides the KDP what are some other things i should look at when looking at this truck. What would you figure for a fair price. He's asking $5500.

If it shows any signs of rust over the front windshield, walk away.

Most anything else is fixable.

I have no personal experience with the 5-speed.



I'm gonna ring the bell and see if a mod can move this to the 1st Gen section for better response.

BC847,

Where did you get that factory manual/brochure? I'd like to find one for my 93' Ram. Maybe Ebay has them? Alot of good info in that booklet.

Unless the truck is reasonably priced.

Then, I will buy it and stick all the Cummins goodies in another truck; because, they quit making this good stuff in 1994, haven't made it since, and doubtfully will again.

I got them when I bought the truck in 1993.

Check Ebay often as I've seen such there regularly.
