Selling our 2003 Dodge Ram with the 5.9 Cummins High Output engine. This truck has the 48re transmission with the 305hp / 555ft-lbs TQ. I've personally owned this vehicle for a little over 2 years now and its been my daily driver as well as my heavy hauler. 95% of the miles on the truck are light duty unloaded daily driver miles, while the other 5% are pulling a 12k lb trailer. I have serviced the engine, transmission, brakes, and rear end regularly. The transmission got it's band adjustments along with a fluid exchange about 8,000 miles ago. The previous owner had kept an extensive service records and receipts and they are available for whoever is interested in buying this truck. This used truck is not perfect, but I will highlight the good and the bad below. I have 100% positive feedback here and have sold many vehicles and other things on eBay in the past. Bid with confidence and feel free to ask questions.
The Good:
1. Engine runs great - no smoke, leaks, serviced regularly, valves adjusted, runs flawlessly, never chipped!
2. Transmission shifts flawlessly - Fluid exchange, band adjustments, serviced properly and regularly, no leaks
3. Steering / front end - Very tight front end....Ball joints, tie-rods ends, and rack 'n' pinion all in great condition. Great steering feel!
4. Brakes - front brakes just replaced...rotors turned and new brake pads, flushed brake fluid, rear brakes have 80% pad left.....no squealing, pulsating, or pulling to either side.
5. Interior - No rips, stains, never smoked in. Dash is cracked, other than that, interior is in great shape.
6. Exterior - 7 out of 10. No large body damage, however, the body has the typical rock chips and some scratches here in there, but nothing major at all. Great looking truck!
7. Bed - Short Bed with spray in bedliner, no goose neck hitch or 5th wheel ever installed.
9. Tires - 75% tread left on Michelin ATX "E" rated tires
10. Gets 18-19mpg mixed driving, 20-22mpg hwy, 11-13mpg towing a 30ft enclosed trailer 12,000lbs @ 70mph
11. I installed an autometer trans temp gauge on a single A-Pillar pod to keep an eye on the trans temps...When pulling I have never seen anything over 190*.
The Bad:
1. Door power locks stopped working in 3 of 4 doors. Driver front door is only door that pwr door locks/keyless works
2. Heat/A/C vents don't change with selector knob. It seems to be stuck on the front vents / floor vents. Heat and A/C work great, just the selector doesnt seem to work.
3. Dash is badly cracked. Common for Dodge Trucks. However, there is a nice $50 custom fitted microsuede dash cover that I recently put on the dash...It does look really nice.
If you have any questions feel free to shoot me an email via the question section of this ad.

Dodge bringing revamped Challenger, Charger to Big Apple
Mon, 07 Apr 2014The 2014 New York Auto Show will be a big one for Dodge, as the brand has announced that refreshed versions of the 2015 Challenger and 2015 Charger will debut at the show. This is a particularly big deal for the two-door Challenger which, visually, has remained unchanged since is burst back onto the scene in 2008 and helped reignite the muscle car wars.
As a sort of hint, this announcement was accompanied by the picture you see above - the Super Bee logo in the Challenger's new instrument cluster. According to Dodge, the New York debut of a new "powertrain combination" - possibly with the high-output Hellcat V8 - will leave enthusiasts "abuzz."
As for the Charger, Dodge is promising a full redesign that should be a significant departure from the blunt, angry looks of the current model. At this point, there's no indication that the Challenger's new powertrain could be fitted to the Charger, although considering how mechanically similar these two vehicles have been, it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility.
Certain Chrysler owners eligible for buyback program
Mon, Jul 27 2015Certain car owners whose Chrysler vehicles contain dangerous defects will soon have a way to get rid of their lemons without losing money. As part of an agreement with federal regulators, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has agreed to buy back more than 500,000 vehicles susceptible to veering out of control without warning at above market-value prices. The deal mainly covers certain models of RAM trucks, the Dodge Dakota pickup and Dodge Durango SUV. Further, owners of more than 1.5 million Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokees at heightened risk for lethal fires are eligible to trade in their vehicles at above market value or, alternately, get a gift certificate if they prefer to have repairs made. Chrysler has "a heavy responsibility to make sure the products they make are safe for the traveling public," said Mark Rosekind, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "... Here, we are sending an unambiguous signal to industry that if you skirt the laws or violate the law, or don't live up to the responsibility that consumers expect, we are going to penalize you." The buy-back and trade-in options for motorists come as part of an unprecedented penalty NHTSA slapped against Chrysler for violating federal motor-vehicle safety laws. Chrysler will pay a $105 million fine, the highest ever levied by the regulatory agency. In addition to the buy-backs, Chrysler also agreed to an independent monitor for three years. Investigators had outlined problems in the company's conduct in 23 recalls that affected more than 11 million defect vehicles. As part of a consent-order agreement, Chrysler acknowledged it did not notify vehicle owners of recalls in an effective manner and did not notify NHTSA of safety problems. Though those recalls affected millions of drivers, the buy-back and trade-in options are only for a small portion of the vehicles involved. Because Chrysler struggled to fix the problem and no repair was apparent, Rosekind said the buy-backs are reserved "for customers who didn't have a remedy." Buy-backs are for trucks and SUVs affected by three recalls that occurred in 2013 (recalls 13V-038, 13V-527 and 13V-529), that addressed a rear-axle pinion nut that could come loose and cause a loss of vehicle control. Those recalls covered 579,228 vehicles, including 2009-2012 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 trucks, 2009-2012 Dodge Dakotas, 2009 Chrysler Aspen and the 2009 Dodge Durango.
Chrysler Recalls Over 566,000 Trucks, SUVs
Wed, Oct 29 2014Fiat Chrysler is recalling more than 566,000 trucks and SUVs in two recalls for malfunctioning fuel heaters that can cause fires and a software glitch can disable the electronic stability control. The recalls bring the newly merged company's total for the year to 6.4 million vehicles worldwide and 5.1 million in the U.S. as it continues to struggle with reliability problems. It was not immediately clear whether those totals were annual records. On Tuesday, its longtime quality chief abruptly left after Fiat Chrysler performed poorly in Consumer Reports magazine's annual reliability rankings. The largest of two recalls announced Wednesday covers almost 382,000 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups and Ram 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs from 2010 through 2014. In trucks with 6.7-Liter Cummins diesel engines, corrosion on a fuel heater terminal could cause overheating, fuel leaks and fires. Chrysler is not aware of any fires or injuries. Owners could be warned by an odor of diesel fuel. Customers will be notified by letters starting in December. Dealers will install upgraded terminals and fuel heater housings could be replaced. The second recall covers more than 184,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from 2014. A debris cover over a circuit board in the steering column control module can disrupt communications and disable the stability control. The problem was discovered when dealers started getting reports from customers that electronic stability control warning lights were coming on. Fiat Chrysler says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem. Technicians will upgrade software to fix the SUVs, and customers will be notified in December. Fiat Chrysler has issued 33 global recalls and 27 in the U.S. so far this year. Doug Betts, its longtime quality chief, left the company to pursue other options after Consumer Reports' survey-based rankings this year showed four FiatChrysler brands at the bottom of its list. Dodge, Ram, Jeep and Fiat performed worst of 28 brands ranked by the magazine. Company spokesman Eric Mayne said Fiat Chrysler's recalls average fewer than 200,000 vehicles each, below the industry average of 301,000. That means the company is responding quickly to problems, he said, adding that eight of its 27 U.S. recalls were announced before the company received any consumer complaints. Chrysler is not alone with a high number of recalls so far this year.
