I just bought a one owner 1998 Dodge Cummins auto, quad cab, long bed, white, with 59K miles and a 12 valve engine. It seems to be perfect except for a few cosmetic flaws that I will fix.

I had to buy the 5th wheel to get the truck. It is a Hitchhiker 1996 31 foot with 2 slides and very clean.

I will keep this truck a while and compare it to mine and see which one I will sell. Don't ask to buy it now unless you want to pay a lot more than NADA says it is worth.

Let the envy and jealousy begin.

Dan,hehehehe your funny. But I have to say why would I be jealous of yours? LMAO. Look in my sig.

 

Dan my vote would be to sell the 24 valve keep the 12 v but I'm partial to the 12 Valve. Did the pre owner say how it pulled the 5 ver?? with only that many miles should work out great for ya. Let us know\\

Don

 

I'm not jealous

 

fix the dowel pin, pronto. and i have 3 98 12v's

 

See if it's a 53 block

 

I did not expect envy from those that have one, but from those that are still looking. Looks like they are going to keep quiet.

I'd rather have a 97...

 

I have never seen a quad cab in a 97 model year. After having the quad cab for several years, it would be hard to give up.

Daniel

 

It was hard to give up the quad cab, I still miss it sometimes, but allin all I prefer the 97, I MUCH prefer the old dash and A/C controls...

 

I prefer the 97 interior, but I gotta have a short bed

 

Fortunately for me I want a long bed!

 

yeah, the 97 is the best bang for the buck out there IMO. best pump, no 53 block, best interior, hydroboost brakes, way cheaper than a 98

I will say that I've gotten really used to the quad cab doors though

 

Dan, whatcha askin for the 5er. TIA

Jim

 

here in mexico they say the 98 12valve's are hard to find in USA...

i tell em, most of all DTR members have one. they love em... lol

dang me, there was one in dallas the other day, for 5,900 98 12v white, quad, shorty, manual (215) 4x4 .... sold by the time we called him!

fORREST nEARING: DO WHAT I DID. Shorten the frame, & Put a short bed on it, ñlike i did on my 96 manual, got that truck for 3900 bucks
