I'm a little gunshy of '02's.

Back in '05 I bought an '02 with about 40K miles on it.

Four years later I was calling the finance company to come repo the dang thing.



At the time that pic was teken, the truck still had less than 100K on it, but, it needed at least $4K of repairs. The truck was basically spitting parts faster than I could pay off the note.

Mine was a 2 wheel drive with the 4.7. Oddly, for all the horror stories you read about now on the 4.7, that was the one thing that wasn't giving me issues. Everything else was crapping out.

In all honesty, my current '93 Dakota with almost 164K miles on it has needed and does need less work that that truck.
