Welcome. So you are looking for used parts. You've come to the right place. This is your Dodge Ram 50 Used Parts Locator.
Buying used is a very intelligent thing to do. You can get a very serviceable part for up to 70% savings off new parts. And the part will most likely give you many years of service, since most parts that our salvage yards handle come off of fairly new vehicles. Some used parts that are very popular include alternators, light assemblies, and a/c compressors. Body parts are also popular. They include bumpers, fenders, hoods, quarter panels, rocker panels and grilles.
Even though used parts are a great deal, it best to be cautious about buying used because they are usually sold "as is." While some may come with a 30-day guarantee, there is no real way to assure quality. You can thoroughly inspect the part and perhaps test it, but still it is difficult to ascertain how "used" the part is. Of course, if the Dodge Ram 50 the part came off of is fairly new, the part is more likely to be in good shape. But even knowing this, there is no way to tell how hard the vehicle was driven unless you know the driver. A good rule-of-thumb: ask a lot of questions.
The first Dodge Ram 50 rolled off the assembly line in 1979, and the last one came off the line in 1993. That means, after 14 years of production, there are a lot of parts out there.
Check with your local neighborhood yard. If it has modernized, it probably has parts on shelves. This means you do not have to climb on old wrecks and dismantle the part from the vehicle yourself with your own tools. Isn't that great?
Here's another idea. Use the world wide web. Key in the make (Dodge), model (Ram 50), and year. To narrow your search, add the body style (two- or four-door), transmission type (manual or automatic), the fuel type (gas, or diesel, fuel injection or carburetor), and your Dodge Ram 50's VIN number. Next punch in the type of part you need (refurbished or used), the part category (air conditioning, electrical, transmission, etc.), and the name of the part (alternator, bracket, taillight assembly, etc.). You can also furnish the part number if you know it. Supply any comments, such as "must be in very-good or excellent condition" or "local pick up only" so dealer network can serve you better.
After you press enter, our powerful search engines begin their work. They check salvage yards, of course, but they also look in online parts-supplier inventories, physical parts suppliers, used car dealerships and private seller offerings to find the part you need.
Once our search engines find your part, they notify you by email, phone, or fax. This enables you to ascertain warranty, if any, price, condition and return policy. After this, you can either pick the part up or arrange to have it delivered. Remember: our used Dodge Ram 50 parts dealers pick and ship fast so your down time is minimal.
