2000 Dodge Ram 3500 Cummins Diesel Dually 4x2 Automatic on 2040-cars
Sterling Heights, Michigan, United States
|
For sale is a 2000 Dodge Ram Cummins Diesel Dually 4x2 Automatic. This has been a great truck and time to sell it since have other trucks. It has been a really good truck and am the second owner. The previous owners had the truck in their fleet and used it primarily for going to automotive events. They kept it indoors and maintained it. It was maintained by a Cummins Technician for Chrysler in Auburn Hills, Mich.
The truck runs great and pulls nicely like nothing is behind it. It pulls a 28' enclosed trailer with a car and parts in it with no problem. The exterior color is burgundy/maroon. It does have the Cummins Diesel. The mileage is 185,000 miles which a great deal was from travelling out of state and highway miles. Always use AMSOIL for oil changes and constant changing oil at regular intervals. The diesel does have a custom powder coated valve cover as shown. There are no modifications to the engine...no aftermarket performance parts. The trucks interior is nice. The steering wheel does have wear on the top of the steering wheel. The truck is equipped with radio controls on the steering wheel...change radio stations or increase or decrease volume on back of the steering wheel. I do have a nice used replacement that will go with the truck or if I have time will change it out. The truck does have dark gray leather. There are no significant tears. The driver seat is worn but not bad. Headliner does have some spots of dirt. Dash has a crack. Center console. The rear bottom seat can fold up and does have the plastic tray storage. Rear sliding glass and latch is still there to secure it from opening. New side tow mirrors that fold out when towing It does have cruise control...really don't use it. It does have A/C but sometime it gets stale when driving. Heater works well and new thermostat installed. The front and rear bumpers are new and have been replaced in 2012. All of the bumper plastics were replace also. The driver side gray bumper plastic is not a great fit from the aftermarket company. Doesn't tuck well on the driver side into the black plastic. Nice shine on chrome! New front chrome grille and emblem. New headlights: passenger and driver side headlights as side lamps are brand new. The truck did not have any damage when I got it. I replaced the bumpers since they were dull,had some rust, and dents. I replaced the headlight because they were foggy. Also new front driving lamps in bumper. Never connected them...will need to be connected. There is a brand new CURT extra heavy duty hitch unlike the weak factory one. It has the connection for the 8 plug and is in working condition. It also does have a brake control. It does have the fifth wheel rails in the bed, but no other attachments. The bed is a 8 foot box and does have a Pendaliner brand plastic bed liner. Replaced all four shocks with Monroe shocks winter 2013. Replaced all Moog Ball ball joints upper and lower. The ball joints were not cheap and Moog is a great brand. Each ball joint cost over $100.00. So $400.00 in ball joints were replaced early 2013. I also replaced the rotors and front brakes. The rear brakes were replaced last March 2012. Unfortunately, while mechanic was installing the ball joints, the ABS wires were cut. So this throw the brake light and ABS lights on the dash. I think you can get the left and right wires for about $100.00 for the pair. It does have a rear sway bar and it recently was powder coated black and new sway links were installed. Bosch dual batteries. The tires: brand new 235 75 16 BF Goodrich Commercial T/A is currently under the truck as the spare tire. I purchased it new in July 2013. I used the spare which is a Goodyear on the driver side front. I was waiting to get new tires, but decided to hold off since I am selling the truck. The new 235 75 16 BF Goodrich Commercial T/A cost $175.00 new at Discount Tire. Condition of tires: Front Driver side left: was spare tire Goodyear..tread like new Front Passenger side Right: purchased new earlier this year 235 75 16 BF Goodrich Commercial T/A. Rear dually tire; all rear tires are 235 75 16 BF Goodrich Commercial T/A Driver side outer: needs replacement Driver side inner: less than half tread wear Passenger side outer: needs replacement Passenger side inner: less than half tread wear The flaws: There are no major rust issues. These trucks are know to have rust on the rockers and doors. The driver side door does have rust on the bottom. It is weak where the rust shows in the pictures. The rocker is solid underneath and all other doors do not have any rust. I was going to replace the driver side door, but never had the chance to find a driver side door. The driver side doors are different on a quad cab than a regular cab or extended cab. Rear tail gate three lights do not work. It was working when last pulled the tail gate off. It does have scratches throughout truck. However, there are no major dents. The driver side rear quad door does not open. I never opened it up to look at it. Might be a loose rod or something. That started to happen June of 2013. Windshield does have a chip on the passenger side. There is a long scratch groove.,..yellow of plastic showing on the driver side rear dually flare. The map light console on roof, right passenger press light does not work. Sometimes reading of location will be hard to read. This truck is one of my favorites and describing it as best as I can. If you have any questions, send a message through Ebay. The truck can be seen in Sterling Heights, Michigan. It is a suburb of Detroit. You are welcome to inspect this vehicle at reasonable time. Buyer must pay a deposit of $300.00 by PayPal within 48 hours of close of auction. Remainder is due three days close of auction...no PayPal. Cash is due upon pick up! |

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome
Fri, Dec 5 2014The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.

Consumer Reports says Ram 1500 tops fuel economy fight [w/video]
Wed, Aug 27 2014Consumer Reports takes its independent vehicle testing procedures seriously. In an era when we have to question the EPA's official ratings thanks to recent re-evaluations from Ford and Hyundai, an independent voice is important. So, when CR says something is the best, it's worth paying attention to. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel has "about the same fuel-economy numbers that we typically see in a midsized SUV." – Jake Fisher In this case, CR took a look at the fuel economy of the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and found that it came out on top of the fullsize pickup truck pack. The Ram did so with 20 miles per gallon overall and 27 mpg on the highway. CR gave the truck a total road test score of 82. The EPA says that the EcoDiesel 1500 gets 28 mpg on the highway, 20 mpg city and 23 mpg combined. Comparing official EPA numbers, the Ram is also the best among trucks in its class. It's nice when people agree on something. As we know from first-hand, long-distance experience, you can push the 1500 EcoDiesel to 38 mpg. CR found in its own testing that the truck had, "about the same fuel-economy numbers that we typically see in a midsized SUV," said Jake Fisher, CR's director of automotive testing, in a statement. Speaking of midsized SUVs, CR also announced this week that the new Toyota Highlander Hybrid got the top spot in CR's ratings in that category. CR liked pretty much everything about the SUV, saying that the "transitions between electric power and the gas engine are seamless" and that, "the new Highlander also handles better, with a steadier ride and reduced body lean in corners."

RAM ECODIESEL 1500 TOPS CONSUMER REPORTS FULL-SIZE PICKUP TRUCK RATINGS Redesigned Toyota Highlander Hybrid Climbs to Top of Midsized SUV List Yonkers, N.Y.- The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel climbed to the top of Consumer Reports' full-size pickup truck ratings with an impressive performance in the organization's fuel economy tests. The EcoDiesel (82 point overall road test score) turned in a best-in-class fuel economy of 20 mpg overall and 27 mpg on the highway, to help it score better than the previously tested Ram 1500 V8 (81) regular gas version and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT (80).
Chrysler recalls AWD 300, Charger, Ram 1500 over ZF transmission
Tue, 24 Dec 2013What do the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Ram 1500 all have in common? Yes, they're all Chrysler products, and two of them are based on the same platform. And we're sure you could find more similarities between them all, but the common trait we're looking at here is that, while they all come standard in rear-drive form, they're also available with all-wheel drive. And it's the transmission in those models that's the subject of the latest recall notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The output shaft on the eight-speed automatic transmission supplied by ZF to Chrysler for the AWD versions of the 300, Charger and Ram 1500 is apparently prone to fracture. That in the end could leave the vehicle without power and could, according to the NHTSA investigation, increase the chance of a crash. The vehicle could also roll away if even if left in Park without the handbrake applied.
That's why Chrysler is calling in 4,194 examples of those three models from the 2013 model year. Dealers will be responsible for inspecting the transmissions and, where necessary, replace the entire unit. See the full recall notice below for all the details.
