Looking at Buying a 03 2500
Ok so I'm looking to buy my friends 2003 Dodge 2500 Crew Cab 4wd Laramie with 149,xxx. He doesn't drive it any more because of diesel prices and wants to pay off his loan and get a house so he is selling it.
He has a few mods done to it which are:
Transmission Rebuild by Performance Innovations with new Trq Converter 3200$
Bully Dog Tuner with digital gauges 700$
Raptor Air Dog 150 Fuel Pump 370$
Farm Boys 5" exhaust with 4" turbo back 370$
AFE stg2 intake 4-500$
Leveling kit 150$
New steering box 200$
New Upper Ball Joints 90$ x2
35" Nitto Trail Grapplers on 3rd Gen Alloys (Tires almost new) 1300$
AC doors replaced with metal doors
Price are what i looked up on xtreme diesel and other places, all just estimates.
This guy takes car of his truck, its not beat up at all very clean outside and in. I was just wonder if it was a good deal. He wants 18,000$ for the truck.
Any info will help, Thanks!

Nice mods except for the lift and tires but that's just me. I wouldn't trade my 03 for anything so I haven't been watching prices but 18k sounds high for nearly 9 yrs old and that mileage. Craig

Sounds like it would be a nice truck but be prepared to replace injectors. If he had installed additional fuel filtration and water seperator this would not be a worry.

What it's worth.
I drove my 03 2500 for 7 years and never had a minutes trouble with other than normal preventive maintenance, and the 5.9 was so much less a hassle than the 6.7. However, the smart move is to offer him Blue Book value because in the end that is all it's worth.
