I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 single wheel diesel. I have owned it 5 years and bought it with 161,000 on the clock. I paid $6500 for it. I was the 3rd owner. I never hesitated when I saw the 5th wheel hitch in it. I since have another 100,000 on it. It is in mint condition. I have a 33' 5er and a huge slide in. The slide in squats a couple of inches but nothing dangerous. We have been around most of the USA. Like the above mentioned it is a 20 year old truck and things wear out. Unless the tranny has been rebuilt, look forward to it. Remember that when rebuilding a tranny your torque converter is a very important part of the build. Its called a stage one build with a billet torque converter and heavy duty bands and clutches if you have an automatic. As the above said the injection pump fuel pump should be upgraded when they go bad. The really good part is the fuel mileage. I get 22 empty on the road, 10 to 12 with the 5er and 15 with the slide in. If you dont want it let me know. The price is a good one if nothing major is bad. Go for it and enjoy.
