V8 with a 318 I believe...

165k for $2500

Bran new tranny.

Now, got a question..... it smokes when you start it up for 15 min, then quits. my 82 dodge ram does the same thing, with the 318 motor.... I beilve it is just a bad valve stem seal?


Any problems like this? Also, whats a good plow to put on these trucks? Everyone tells me western...

This is my 6th year in the landscaping business, and this is my first year plowing. Help me guys!

I have a 97 1500 4x4 with a 5.9 L with 120k miles. The truck does not smoke at all when I start it and have never really had any problems with it so far except the tranny likes to warm up a little to much in my opinion. I have a 8' Hiniker on mine and it works just fine. I have been told by many people that that is to heavy for the truck but its holding up great. Good Luck with it and welcome to PlowSite.
