I bought one last June. It’s got some minor issues but nothing to cry about yet. Bought it to keep the miles off my ‘18 Silverado and not beat it up for work. It’s an ‘04 I think. Maybe an ‘06. Can’t recall at the moment. I’ve put almost 20k miles on it since June. Can’t complain too much. Does need timing chain replaced this coming spring and it’ll probably get the plugs done at the same time but I’m not overly concerned yet. If it dies, I’ve pretty much gotten my money’s worth already.
I keep desperately hoping that one day someone will call me "Sir" without adding "please calm down" or "you're causing a scene."

There were I believe two 5.4l 3 valve engines. The easiest way is to look at the 8th digit of the VIN number. The most common VIN code for the 3 valve is 5, for the life of me I cant remember the other.

keep that dodge. Find a shop to get it running for you. Look at the mechanics, if they r in their 20`s find another shop. It will be cheaper to just buy new ign parts and a new carb than a new truck. Plus that old girl will plow snow better than an f150. Yep, you don't need another truck, you need a different mechanic. I think you may be right. If I bought the F150, which I've decided not to do, I would have to beef up the springs in the front end to handle the Boss plow I have on the W350. As I said, the Dodge hasn't even got 100,000 miles on it. I'll have to try some other mechanics.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
