In Reply to: 92 Dodge LE2500 4x4, 60,000mi., what's it worth? posted by Marty on Saturday, January 04, 2003 at 8:11PM :
Thanks very much for your input guys. I decided to hold out for exactly what I'm looking for. This guy won't go any lower than $19,000 Canadian,($11,900US), plus, he wants to run it through his business, which means I have to pay 14% tax which brings it to $21,600!
Of all the Dodge trucks since 1989, I'd take an 89-93 any day. I'm just so sick of the direction that vehicles in general have taken. They're just getting too complicated & my life is complicated enough without worrying about owning a truck so complicated that when it breaks, even the trained Dodge mechanics can't fix them without hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of diagnostic equipment.
It was so refreshing looking at the 92 Dodge...It's virtually like a 70's truck with a good engine in it! Who cares if the Getrag is the weak link...rebuild one & keep it as a spare...just like we would on a Flat Fender. Detroit has to step back & re-evaluate the direction they're taking.
I don't need 400hp & 700ft/lbs of torque, just fix the damn transmission problem so it'll hack the 200hp & 400lbs of torque!
There are improvements that I can see that would be nice over my 95 F350....but power is NOT one of them. It'll climb virtually any hill pulling 10,000lbs at 60mph...what more do we need for gods sake?
