Need Opinions- 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 CTD

I did think about selling mine for a mega cab lol, all in all second gens are pretty good besides normal dodge rot we all deal with what since the 50s 60s lol

basically when u look under one check frame from front end to back, rockers doors lips

under hood oil/ coolant leaks, it wont hide it. mess of wires everywhere.

driving steering side to side see if it roams around. hit bumps at under 10 mph listen for clunking banging mostly will feel it through the floor board. trans wise do a 1/4 throttle to 1/2 throttle hit from 20 mph to 55 or so and let it calm down and let it downshift by itself see if it hits hard or not it shouldn't. when driving do a steady 40 mph and very slowly hit 45 mph and then ease on up to 47 48 mph and leave it there for awhile repeat a couple times can be a sign of convertor some times they just need a noise isolator for wires doing cross talk and it getting confused trying to hit lockup. bring a gauge to stick into the vents and try the air make sure it works knows for the systems to fail, mine did it when I got it had to have whole dash dropped and all a/c components replaced. check the normal 4x4 check if it is one 5 mph in 4wd turn to see if the truck tries to hop wit ha slight turn of the wheel. some are known for the rear window to leak so check for mold on seat rails. bout all I can tell u common wise. when it all comes down to it , it is all common sense stuff that will tell u yes or no, should be fine
