2001 Dodge Value.
I am looking at buying a 2001 Dodge 3500 4x4 ext cab. it is 6 speed with 167000 miles on it. Very clean and solid colorado truck no rust at all. What should this truck be worth. HE is asking $11500 Let me know what you guys think. It has new tires all the way around, new s300 turbo, water methanol, new gauges, and new 5 inch exhaust. What is the truck worth on todays market. is it worth $11500. Any info is helpful.
Thanks
Thanks

I have about the same miles and did a complete rebuild cause of a dropped valve. not due to all the extra mods. I would be asking more for my truck due to the rebuilt engine and new turbo. but also on my truck I have done alot of good daily driving upgrades (steering). you can bet you will have some steering issues to address. also on the 6 speed you really need to drive it and see how it shifts. most 6 speeds can be notchy in nature but you dont want one that needs rebuilt as soon as you buy it.

Unless you really need the 4wd and don't mind spending 4 grand more I would go for the 2wd. I don't believe for a minute that he did not chip it. Look at the mods he did, not small stuff. Why would he not do a chip which is a lot cheaper than a turbo. Why would he sell it so quickly?
A lot of red flags here.
Just my honest opinion.

I agree i have thought of that. I am planning a trip to colorado at Christmas so i will be driving both trucks and making a decision. I need a truck to pull my 50ft 3 car hauler wedge gooseneck trailer.
The 2wd they said came from oregon and they want to sell it to buy a smaller truck. It has a chip on it an edge box. I will drive both and which ever one drives , shifts, handles the best i will buy.
Thanks again

Make sure you look for the 53 block, lots of threads about it do a search. Selling a cracked block truck is one way of avoiding a 2k+ repair bill.
