1994 Dodge Ram 1500 Description:

This is a truck that I've owned for a little over a year that I took care of and the previous owner also took care of well. The engine and transmission are reliable, it has done some hauling and some long trips without problems and I have daily driven it to work for nearly all of 2016. Gas mileage isn't too bad, it gets around EPA estimates. Air conditioning and heat work great. I've done some work to it starting with changing the spark plugs with NGK platinums, new coolant, new air filter, oil changes every 3 months, and put a $189 tonneau cover over the 8ft bed for better mpg.
I've also had to do some repairs: two tires blew, so I bought a new tire (in photo) and another spare to replace the bad one (in the bed). Brake light came on at one point, so I immediately sent it to a shop who replaced the rear drums completely with new parts. Brakes work good now. Three tires are low on tread and should be changed for heavy driving but are fine for now. Had to get a new battery and radio, battery comes with 5 year warranty.
The main problem is transmission: no indicator light and no reverse or no reverse power. I've worked around this by using neutral and parking only in spots where I could drive out of forwards. I've added new transmission fluid and transmission fix and driven the transmission like it is for a little over a year and it is still reliable and fine. However, it is slow shifting. The previous owner said the transmission was new (not original) so it is probably rebuilt and the reverse problem could be an easy fix for a mechanic.
I'm selling this truck to move on to better cars. To be honest I'm looking for probably a buyer who just needsa reliable beater car and if you can deal with the problems this truck has more than proven itself.
