I second the note on the tranny. At that mileage it can't be original, which is fine. The auto trans. is the worst part of that truck. If I were buying that vintage Dodge I'd get a manual. That automatic transmission does not down-shift for you like the ones in a comparable Ford or GM product. It took Dodge several years longer to offer that feature. To me, that's reason enough to not buy the truck. There's nothing wrong with the truck but if you're towing a heavy load, especially over grades, the auto down-shifting is a very valuable feature.
Maybe so but the 2006 was the first year the auto could be mated with the Jacobs exhaust brake. Not much gearing down needed :W
