1999 Dodge Ram Sport
I bought this truck with 110,000 miles, and whoever owned it before me neglected it like no other. After about $1500 in parts and labor, I can honestly say I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm 24 and have had 17 trucks since I've been 17. Yeah, the gas mileage stinks, but what do expect when a truck is modeled after a big rig? These trucks weren't made to be espically comfortable either, they were built to get the job done. I cant remember any other half ton truck that came with a solid front axle in 99.
1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport SLT SB Reg Cab
Brakes need improvement (model w/o anti-lock). Good pickup, reliable, dependable...good value.
My experience
I bought my truck new and used it in my construction business. I never (!) had a problem in 76,000 miles of Alaskan driving. No squeaks, leaks, mechanical problems, or anything else. But I sadly sold it when I retired and moved overseas....cheap living now. I have owned 5 Dodge trucks and have been more than satisfied. But the gas mileage stinks.
No Lag and No Rag
I just bought a 1999 Dodge V8 Magnum 1500 4x4 Lariam Single Cab with 126,500 miles on it and it turns up without any hesitation.Has a minor oil leak on the Rear Main Seal but also has the Power/Torque to burn the new 32 1/2 inch Mud Tires off of it.The front dash is cracked a little and there are some exterior issues (such as scratches,dings,and some sag in front bumper) but I'm not trying to impress anyone with the looks of my truck,just the toughness.

Mopar or No Car!
Bought my '99 Ram 1500 a little over 7 years ago. First time ever buying "my own" rig, knew what I wanted - searched a couple of impatient months to find it. Got my Mopar with 116k on the odometer, 5.9L upgrade, lift, flat satin black single cab BEAST! Hands down best purchase I've ever made, period! In the last 7 years, I blew apart my rear u-joint at 70+ mph down the highway - it actually flew past my driver window, rear drive line landed on my rear axle after a bit of bouncing around. Threw it right back in same day with a new u-joint, never even had to balance the drive line. Also replaced the auto trans (it's expected at some point with a Mopar, common knowledge) with a custom pink remanufactured trans that will now outlast the engine I'm sure, lol.) Only two problems in 7 years, and I'm not nice to my truck - besides routine maintenance that is. The best part..? The looks on the guys' faces as I pass them by and they see the neon pink biohazard stickers on each side of my back window and realize they just got passed by a girl! M.o.p.a.r = Move Over People Are Racing!!! Yes it's my Dodge, NO you can't drive it!!
