1994 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie SLT V8 Auto

1994 Dodge Ram 1500

This is a truck that I've owned for a little over a year that I took care of and the previous owner also took care of well. The engine and transmission are reliable, it has done some hauling and some long trips without problems and I have daily driven it to work for nearly all of 2016. Gas mileage isn't too bad at 10 mpg. I've done some work to it starting with changing the spark plugs, multiple oil changes each 3 months, and put a $189 tonneau cover over the 8ft bed for better mpg.
I've also had to do some repairs: two tires blew, so I bought a new tire (in photo) and a used spare. Brake light came on at one point, so I immediately sent it to a shop which decided to replace the rear drums completely with new parts. Brakes work good now. Three tires are low on tread and should be changed but are fine for now. Truck leaks oil slightlyat oil drain plug that is stripped, I've fixed it with silicone and super glued duct tape, but probably needs new oil drain plug or at worst oil pan. Battery needed to be replaced recently also.
The main problem is transmission: no indicator light and no reverse or no reverse power. I've worked around this by using neutral and parking only in spots where I could drive out of forwards. In drive just be careful to switch down to drive right when you feel it move and be light with the throttle and it will shift fine. I've added new transmission fluid and transmission fix and driven the transmission like it is for a little over a year and it is still reliable and fine. The previous owner said the transmission was new (not original) so it is probably rebuilt and the reverse problem could be an easy fix for a mechanic.
I'm selling this truck to move on to better cars. To be honest I'm looking for probably a buyer who just needsa reliable beater car and if you can deal with the problems this truck has more than proven itself.
