d o a wrote im thinking of buying an 02 4x4 ram slt with the sport package & was wondering if theres anything i should look out for. it has 120000 miles one owner & it looks mint. thanks for any info. the number one problem that all dodge trucks seem to have is poor carrier bearings in the diff. most of them only last 60-80k miles. park the truck on level ground. put the trans in neutral set the parking brake then shift to park. crawl under the truck grab the drive shaft and try to turn it. if you can measure the movement of the drive shaft the diff needs a rebuild. thats not good advice for several reasons. putting the trans in park may lock up the drive shaft so if there is any slop in the diff you will not find it. it is best to leave the trans in nuetral. second any slop in the ujoints will let the drive shaft move even if the diff is fine. also worn differential side gears and/ or cross pin on an open diff will also show up as movement in the drive shaft. other than that check the same things as every vehicle with 120k miles on it. -- .bob 2006 fxdi hot rod 2001 dodge dakota qc 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 mustang coupe - daily driver 1965 ffr cobra - 427w efi damn fast. .
