Greetings Ebay Community,

I am auctioning off a 1998.5 Dodge Ram 24 valve Cummins 4x4 5 speed manual truck with an attached sleeper!  This truck was altered by me for my specific needs.  I am now changing careers and no longer require such a unique vehicle.  I would like to explain to you my history with the vehicle so you understand the fabrication, modifications and the additions that have been made to the truck.  I purchased the vehicle with 230,000 miles from a dealer in Kentucky.  Originally the vehicle was an ordinary truck configured as a extended cab short bed.  Here is where I began the transformation into the truck you see today.  I stripped the vehicle down to the powertrain and frame rails.  Once I did that, I started replacing all the following parts- front wheel bearings, rear wheel bearings, rear brakes (shoes, drums and hardware), Optima dry cell batteries, High torque starter, Grid Heater, front brakes (pads and rotors), brake lines, emergency brake cables, every steering linkage, ball joints, radiator, ac compressor, ac condensor, ac port lines, sealed oil pan, sealed timing cover, sealed vaccuum pump, sealed CAD, axle seals front and rear, output shaft seal, drained and filled all lubricated components to OEM standards, adjusted the rack (valve train), Rancho shocks (front and rear), steering dampener, valve cover gasket, oil cooler and gasket...I'm sure there are more but I cant recall all of them.  As you can see from that list, I made this truck to run another stress free 200,000 miles.  Now for a list of what was added- Standard cab, new vinyl floor, new windshield, Oil pan heater, CB radio, Radio speakers, Banks Exhaust Brake, fender flares, 315 Mickey Thompson ATZ (just put them on less than 5,000 miles ago), B and D hideaway gooseneck ball, American flag headliner, Tire chains, Custom Shifter knob, running boards w/led lights, Mid 70's Kenworth Sleeper w/led lights, chrome accents, aftermarket towing mirrors, Heavy duty bumper hitch, new sleeper insulation and abs plastic, new sleeper mattress and bedding, camo seat covers, LED stobe light, service body, 5" aussie cut stacks and full stainless exhaust from down pipe all the way through the stacks, tri pod pillar gauges (Pyro, Fuel Pressure, Trans Temp), camo steering wheel cover, Custom rear mud flaps, visor w/lights, front fender lights, Quadzilla tuner, cold air intake...again I'm sure I am not remembring everything as you can tell by the pictures, this is one unique vehicle.

Now to give you a description of how the truck runs and drives- This truck runs EXCELLENT!  Just as a Cummins should.  I run 5k between oil changes and it does not burn oil or leak oil (which is rare as most of you know).  With all the steering compenents freshly replaced, the truck drives really nice, but I did not replace the actual steering box.  So, you do get some play in the wheel.  This is a characteristic for these trucks.  Four wheel drive works as it should and you get a replacement set of cv joints.  The clutch and synchros work as they should; no issues.  All the lights on the truck and gauges in the dash work properly.  This truck sounds beautiful and has that nice steady pull that Cummins is known to provide.  A trully fun vehicle to drive around in.

I encourage you to ask questions and view the photos.   

Note: Neither of the two vises on the rear of the truck go with the vehicle.  If you want them, we can discuss that seperately.

Lastly, the vehicle is for sale locally and I do reserver the right to end the auction early.

 

Feel free to call- (651) 402-9276 ask for Clint

 

Thanks for taking the time to view my listing and good luck!

Barracuda's Dodge branding no biggie, but what about engines?

Thu, Aug 27 2015

Rumors about a revival of the Barracuda nameplate have been circulating for years now, though which brand it might fall under has been a bit of a mystery. Initial speculation had the car labeled an SRT product, but that acronym has since returned to its former role as a sub-brand for top-performance Mopars. Thanks to leaks from a recent FCA dealership event, we know the Barracuda is back on the table but will be sold under the Dodge umbrella, a move that has been generating a bit of ire from Pentastar fanatics, as the car was originally part of the defunct Plymouth brand. Given what's known about the new model, however, the badge is the least of my concerns about the new car. Let's start with the re-branding itself. This isn't the first time Chrysler has shuffled models around to different brands. The current-generation Viper spent two years as the flagship model under the SRT banner, only to return to Dodge for 2015 when SRT resumed its former role as a sub-brand. Years ago, the Neon was sold as a Plymouth, a Dodge, and a Chrysler model, depending on where you shopped for one. When Plymouth ceased to exist, the last few years of Prowler production got Chrysler badges instead. Then there's the new Jeep Renegade, a model whose name was born out of a trim level. The Barracuda might not turn out to be a muscle car in the way we currently define them. Further examples of naming liberties taken throughout automotive history could fill a book, but suffice it to say that these days a model's name has very little to do with the vehicle itself or any legacy it might have. The Barracuda name might be a particularly sacred cow with enthusiasts, but to me, a much bigger concern is the fact that the car might not turn out to be a muscle car in the way we currently define them. News from the Fiat Chrysler dealer briefing earlier this week indicates that when the next Charger debuts it will share its platform with the Barracuda, much the way the Charger and Challenger are twinned now. One difference is that the Barracuda is tipped to be offered as a convertible, while the modern Challenger is tintop-only. The Charger and Barracuda will use the rear-drive platform developed for Alfa Romeo's new Giulia, itself designed as a BMW M3 fighter both from a dimensional and dynamic standpoint; the Barracuda is expected to be slightly smaller than the current Challenger.

This or That: 2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10 vs. 2005 Subaru WRX STI [w/poll]

Thu, May 7 2015

Some cars, due to ultimate desirability, particular rareness, or spectacular performance/prestige eventually become collectible. It's darn near impossible to know which ones will make it into the rarefied stratosphere of collectibility – why is a late 1960s AMC AMX so affordable these days, whereas prices for late '70s Pontiac Trans Ams are soaring? – but there are some useful indicators to keep tabs on. We're not exactly experts on investing, but we do know cars. As such, we've decided to take our non-expertise on one hand, combine it in the other with our knowledge of all things automotive, wad it up, throw it out and ask for your forgiveness. Or something like that. I've challenged Senior Editor Seyth Miersma to choose a car he thinks will become a future collector's item that's not more than 10 years old, and for no more than $25,000. I've done the same, and we vigorously argued for and against each other's picks. I feel good about my choice, but I don't have the best track record in these contests (I've lost three times, won twice, but they've all been pretty close), so, while I'm not going to beg (please vote for me!), I do hope you find my argument convincing. But first, let's hear from Seyth: Miersma: Ten-years old or newer makes this challenging. At that age most vehicles feel like a plain old used car to me, few hit the "classic" button. But the Subaru WRX STI has always been a special car, and the 2005 cutoff year proves to be very attractive for the parameters of our contest. It's rare; with fewer than 5,000 STI models sold that model year. It's probably the best looking WRX STI ever sold in America; narrowly avoiding the dreadful "horse collar" front fascia. And it's got one of the more die-hard car-geek followings out there. For $25,000, you can also still find examples that have reasonable miles, are in good condition, and haven't all been molested by grown-up Initial D wannabes. With the street racers hacking up collectable examples every day, I like my odds for steep appreciation by way of conservation. I couldn't agree more. It really is difficult to predict what cars will catch the eye of collectors, and the WRX STI seems like a pretty good choice. But I think mine is even better, and I can't let him know that I'd love to park just such an STI in my very own garage. And so goes my argument: Korzeniewski: I like your choice as a driver, Seyth. I'm less convinced of its status as a sure-fire collectible.

Mopar updates owner apps to make car ownership easier

Wed, Jun 3 2015

Owners of any Fiat Chrysler vehicle will want to head to the Apple App or Google Play store to download the latest version of their brand-specific smartphone app. Developed by Mopar, the new suite of FCA Owner apps specific to each brand pack a number of valuable features. For starters, the apps let owners access information like maintenance schedules, service history and recall notices. The apps also include an array of how-to information and instructional videos, offer push notification for important updates like maintenance offers and recall alerts, and allow customers to schedule test drives and receive quotes from their local dealers for new vehicles. But that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The FCA Owner apps also feature an augmented reality function that helps drivers identify instrument-panel icons. There's a Parking Reminder feature that helps drivers remember where they parked their car, guides them back to their parking spot and tracks the time left on the meter. Finally, there's an Accident Assistant feature that helps drivers record the specifics of an accident, upload insurance information and take photos of the scene. It'll even help find the closest certified collision repair facility, schedule an appointment and access roadside assistance. The apps are available for any Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Fiat or Alfa Romeo built from 2011 till today, and are available for either iOS or Android. If you've got more than one FCA vehicle in your garage, you needn't download multiple versions of the app as they'll work on any model the Italian-American automaker offers. Mopar Enhances FCA Owner Apps - Redesigned FCA Owner apps offer a wide range of VIN-specific information - Owners can access maintenance schedules, service history, recall notices and more - "Augmented reality" function, beginning with 2015 models, allows owners to use camera feature on mobile devices to scan and identify instrument panel icons - Industry-first Accident Assistant feature helps owners easily document important accident information and quickly locate a certified repair facility - Individual brand versions of the app support all FCA brand vehicles - FCA Owner apps are free to download for both iOS and Android mobile devices May 29, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Mopar brand has redesigned and enhanced its suite of FCA Owner apps, putting more resources than ever at owners' fingertips with easier access to vehicle and lifestyle information.
