Bought the 96 2500 4x4 auto ext cab today
 

Good solid truck. 203000 miles. AC not working and a little slop in the steering. Tranny done a few years ago. Ball joints and brakes done a few years ago. Runs great but ugly as sin. A few dents, bent bumpers, almost all clearcoat gone. Definitely due paint when I can justify it.

A few problems uncovered
 

It has an Alpine radio that I can't figure out how to operate. The driver power window is slow. The up-and-down motors on the power seats try to operate but don't get anywhere. The tranny goes in and out of lockup at low cruise speeds. The AC doesn't work. There's play in the steering, but not nearly as bad as my 93 had before I replaced the draglink!
Gearing is 3:54. I had hoped for 4:10.
AND ........ it has a rebuilt title!

Unless you are going to tow really, really heavy, be thankful for the 3.54's..........

Towing 34' Wells Cargo reverse fifth wheel, loaded down.
Today, I discovered I need to replace evaporator, condensor, and heater core.[duhhh]

I'm also replacing water pump, idler arm, belt, and filters just be on the safe side. I HATE breakdowns on long trips while towing!
