Been reading here for a while, and posted a while back
regarding buying a CTD for heavy towing.  
I found  a truck in the paper, a 01, HO, 6speed, loaded
like new with 30K on the odometer.  Paid 21K.

a second finishing some paperwork and got out to walk inside leaving the
truck running so that it would be cool inside when i got done.  as soon as ...

I'm leaning toward buying one of these.

I am trying to decide which truck to go with and was hopeing I could get
some advice from the group. Are there any advantages or disadvantages to any

Was at the local Dodge dealer yesterday and picked up a brochure on the CTD
engine. In it was a cutaway of the 04 or 05 engine. The dyno chart was the
05. Anyway in the cutaway the flywheel was solid, not a dual mass unit.

Any ideas/explanations?

Can some of these symptoms be the result of a bad starter?
Hard start when engine is warm
Black smoke from tailpipe
Erratic idling

I recently purchased a 2000 Ram 1500 4X4.  I have a few questions about it

bought this without knowing anything about towing and at the time only
