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.

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!!

Transmisson problems, dashboard cracked to pieces, paint on the hood and roof lost clearcoat and started to rust, catalytic converter had to be replaced...besides that, nice truck. Buy at your own risk
Fun to drive, but high maintenance

I bought this truck because I love the look, the power, and the sound. It seemed to drive well, and the interior was spotless. So it went home with me. Then it began. I had to replace all of the brake hardware at the wheels, O2 sensors, cat convertor, full tune up, idler pully, belt, etc. I did this all myself, fortunately. Then, the track bar and a tie rod end was bad. I replaced them. Next, the transmission went. The rebuild was about 2500 bucks. Fortunately I bought an extended warranty, which paid for itself 3x over. So I basically have a new truck. A lot of this stuff could be expected at the age, other things not. I still love the truck and plan on keeping it a long time.
Dodge auto trans - not good.

Bought new. The v8's ok but drinks gas. Pings like heck - higher octane minimized that problem. Manual says 87 octane and pinging is ok. No other problems for first 3 yrs. Trans broke right after time limit on warnty, but less than 35k miles. Long story short, Dodge agreed to pay for parts, I paid the balance, which was more than half of the $1800 repair. Now my tie rods, pitman arm, and idler arms need to be replaced as garage is unable to align the truck as is.
