Quick background: Bought this 1998 Dodge Ram (Quad Cab, 4x4, 5.9l, auto) in 2002 with 60k miles on it. It has never been a daily driver but mainly used for trips and family outings due to the room it provides. I tow my 18 foot utility trailer with it.
This truck is currently sitting at 124k miles and needs a few things like tires, windshield, u-joints, fuel sending unit, and a radio (volume knob does not work). I had just about made up my mind to put the money in this truck and keep it when the check engine light came on last night. Should I take this as a sign that I should dump the truck?
I love the prospect of a newer pickup but I do not feel like paying for it. If I purchase another truck, it would likely be 3-4 years old with under 75k miles.
What should I do?
