    A friend is thinking of selling his diesel truck, this is a 5 speed truck, I'm not sure of the miles but I know it doesn't get driven much. Not sure if the clutch knee is up to the task?

    I've had a few dodge cummins pickups over the years. Including a 91 but it was an auto. Thing rode like a tank but would barely squat with an overloaded bed. If it's a 5spd i'd snatch it up for the right price. Mileage shouldn't be an issue. Those engines can run a million miles if well cared for. Heck my dad ran his 95 to 560k miles before it was retired due to blow by.

    Got a pick of the truck?

    Those clutches aren't real stiff for pedal feel.

    The first generation of the new style was 94 or 95

    I've borrowed the truck before, and the clutch pedal is very light, I'll post some pics when I return.

    I had a 97 with a 6 spd stick, wish I never let it go. Those dodges were like tanks, the engines were better. Best thing dodge ever did back then was to put the cummins in their pickups.

    94 was the first ear of the 2ND gen. The 1st gen to me are the most reliable and lowest maintenance cost with leaf spring front ends and hubs.
