Ahh finally purchased a decent truck.
2002 3500 6speed 2wd quad cab. 200,000 miles. Picked it up for $5000.
A few minor dents and chips but zero rust. Truck came from Texas so I guess that's why.
Interior is dirty but decent. Rip in drivers seat. Seller was a pipeline welder.
Good tires %80
The bezel around the instrument panel is cracked. looks easy to replace.
Heater blows air out off the defrost vents, doesn't respond when I try to change it to floor or in your face.
Runs& drives great. Didn't notice much blow by vapor when cold but a little when warm. Is a small amount normal or should there be none at all? It has a small condensing catch can at the end of the rubber breather tube. These trucks come from the factory with this? Just a little bit of oil around it. Bottom of engine/truck looks clean except for fluid leaking from power steering pump.
AC does not work. I'll figure it out.
Yea it needs a power steering pump.
Needs a brake job but the seller included a new set of good quality napa rotors and pads. Holy crap the rear rotors are huge. Pleased to get a truck with 4 wheel disc brakes.
I'm going to put a 10 foot van body on it so I don't care that the bed is missing. I'm taking the truck to the body shop for a urethane paint job before I put the body on.
Can't get over how good it runs. Very powerful & quick turbo spool up/boost. Then again I'm used to my W250 (Which is going to be for sale very soon)
Can you guys point me in the right direction to fix the known lift pump problems mentioned here in this thread?
Also wondering, if I install a VE pump, will the cruise control still work?
Thanks for all the great tips and advice! Like I said I wasn't initially considering a 2nd gen put I liked all the good things mentioned here regarding the 2001-2002 model year.
