I am looking at an 06 3500 to replace my 97 3500, i am just having a hard time because i love my truck. I have 217,000 on it, it's modified and rarely gives me problems. But, i drive 30,000 miles a year, and the 97 is showing its age, i just need some help in either direction. Thanks

 

217K is not a lot of miles but, I hear there are alot of changes ahead for Dodge in 07 and they are not good for consumers.

I'm alot of help huh?

Take it to Ming and have it detailed out. You'll change your mind about selling, or it will be ready to trade and you'll get more for it!

 

thats the reason i am looking. i know 217 isn't alot, but mine needs a front axl seal, and the trans is ready again. i need to hear from someone who went fron a 12 valve to a new motor.

 

I just recently went from a 12 to a new one last week, 07 mega cab. Had 200K on the 12 valve, good truck, never let me down, was looking at doing the tranny again, seats need upholstery, window switches, little nagging things here and there. Just thought it was time to change and wanted to do it before the 6.7 came out. I'm confident I made the right choice.. this time I made sure the truck had what I wanted on it before I bought it.

 

thanks, thats what i need to hear. good luck with the new ride.

 

You won't be disappointed.
