I am looking at a 1995 3500 dump truck actually there is two of them one is auto with 168k and the other is 4 speed + OD with 93k miles what should I look for in both trucks ? issues known with that year etc thanks in advance

What do you want to know about them? What size of beds are they? Are the floors of the bed beat up? What about the condition of the frame? Where the frame of the truck and bed meet? Are you going to be pulling anything behind it?

I plan on using either one for Firewood delivery and pull a 12 single axle trailer for now with mowers etc I am a one man operation landscaping so its not really much work yet my firewood business should be enough to justify a small dump truck here is links please dont bid or buy them http://southjersey.craigslist.org/cto/2518638446.html http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3984Q2em1423Q2el2649QQitemZ160640358275QQsspagenameZSTRKQ3aMEWAXQ3aIT#ht_500wt_1182

I like the first one bc its a true dump truck! I like the second one bc its a manual but I don't like the bed! I don't need another dump truck have too many myself!

I dont care what you like buddy no seriously I am with you I like the bed on the white one but the trans and miles on the black one is way better But also on the other hand the black one would carry way more wood in that bed + I can do leaf cleans up down the road as well I was more concerned about problems issues etc watch for this check that make sure with this type of guide lines from someone that owns so MANY of them like your self

So no one knows of any common problems with a 95 3500 ?

killer dowel pin in the timing case is the only thing that comes to mind, but then again im not as familiar with the 12v's-Jordan-

I am picking up the truck tomorrow for a little under 10k I am glad its the cleanest I can find in my area and also its priced right best thing its a Cummins

Be sure to post some pics of it when you get it!-Jordan-

I got the truck drove back close to 100 miles its great pulls hard even a highway speeds ( empty ) and it feels much stiffer than my 2500 ( feels more planted on the road even empty )

pictures coming soon once the rain stops in NJ

PTO dump is the best thing ever invented
