1997 Dodge Ram 2500 Mark III Conversion Van - For Repair or Parts

1997 Dodge Ram Van Description

We purchased this Mark III Dodge conversion van at the Kalamazoo Sam's Club as displayed by a Dodge dealership in Allegan, MI. Our family has thoroughly enjoyed this vehicle and has been reliable for the last 19 years we've had it. The interior has been well taken care of and the cloth seats only show gentle wear but no tears. The carpeting is in good condition as well. The back seat lays flat. Except for the front windows and windshield, all other windows have manual pull down blinds. The A/C works fine as do the power windows for the front doors. There are some rust spots (see photos) and the running board on the driver's side is cracked due to an unfortunate incident involving ice (that's another story). Tires still have a few years left in them. We used this van from April - December every year.
Includes the van, spare tire, jack and two keys with remote fobs.
Currently, the van has two issues - first, the engine will no longer hold oil pressure when the engine gets hot. It is currently running 20W50 engine oil.
Second, the automatic transmission is slipping. It works fine when it is cold but then starts having problems shifting and operating once it gets hot.
We hope this van goes to someone who can give it some TLC and tinker with it. Given the proper work, it could serve another family well like it did ours!
