2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Slt Crew Cab Pickup 4-door 5.9l on 2040-cars
Baker, Louisiana, United States
I am selling my 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 SLT Diesel Pickup. I bought this truck new and am the only owner, so I know the entire history. If you have any questions, just ask. Here are the basics:
Year 2004 Single wheel 3500 (looks like 2500) 248,000 miles. Daily driver, so will have around 249,000 by the time the auction is over. 2wd 4 door Black Automatic transmission rebuilt at 234,000 3:73 rear end 5.9L HO Cummins engine 2-5/16 5th wheel ball Spray in bed liner 6 way plug for trailer lights New Michelin tires ($1000) - less than 5,000 miles non-smoker Great mileage. 18+ mpg to and from work. 21+ on highway. Here are the negatives: Truck has a dent under the left rear tail light from jack-knifing a trailer. Cruise control works on flat ground, but kicks out on hills and won't come back on until the truck is restarted. I think it is not holding a vacuum, but I haven't been able to track down the leak. The driver side visor won't stay all the way up. The vents make noise on the passenger side floorboard when turning the heater on. Positives: I have never had any major mechanical trouble with the truck at all. No injector issues, oil leaks, computer issues, etc. It has been very dependable. I would not hesitate to drive it cross country. Oil has been changed every 5,000 miles. I have done maintenance myself on brakes, rotors, shocks, belts, etc. on an as needed basis. The interior is very clean compared to most of the Dodge interiors I have seen from this generation. The seat is not torn from getting in and out, no cracks on the dash, and the armrest doesn't have a hole in it. And the best part of all is that the truck is converted to run on diesel or veggie oil with a system that I bought from Golden Fuel Systems. The system was installed at 117,000 miles. I have an auxiliary fuel tank that is about 60 gallons to hold the oil. There is a heat exchanger in the tank plumbed to the water pump that circulates antifreeze to warm up the oil. Once it's up to operating temperature, flip the switch and burn straight vegetable oil. The system includes a Racor filter, auxiliary fuel pump, auxiliary fuel gauge, and fuel pressure gauge to monitor when the filters need to be changed. When I first converted I had trouble with the stock fuel lift pump, so it now has a heavy duty FASS pump. I will include the collection pump and storage barrels with the sale and if you are local I can try to hook you up with the place where I currently get my oil from. The system has worked great for me and I estimate I have saved over $10k in fuel costs using it. I am only selling because I will be moving to snow country soon and will need a 4 wheel drive. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 225-two 7 eight - one 2 three 2. |

The Dodge Demon's massive drag tires are just barely street legal
Thu, Jan 26 2017Despite the gaffe that was the Vin Dieselgate leak (no, not that one), Dodge and SRT are soldiering on with the twelve-part Dodge Demon rollout in the lead up to the car's reveal at the New York Auto Show. The Vin Diesel video showed what is almost assuredly the car's front, but now we get an official view of the Demon's rear in this week's video, "Wide Body." Along with the new view, Dodge shows off a cryptic license plate (Michigan #2576@35) and details on the Demon's tantalizing wheel and tire combo. That wheel and tire combo, meant to fill out the Demon's new wide wheel arches, is frankly impressive. Lightweight 18- by 11-inch wheels are wrapped in special Demon branded Nitto NT05R tires measuring an astounding 315/40R18 at all four corners. Not only does that trump the old Camaro Z/28's 305 section tires, it makes the Demon the first production car to come equipped from the factory with drag radials, claims Dodge. Presumably, the goal with the Demon is to provide enough power and grip to rotate the Earth underneath the car rather than propelling the car itself down a dragstrip. Beyond that, few other details were revealed. Dodge provided some vague information about how the "wide-body is laser clearanced, and the entire chassis is e-coated for durability before final assembly," but doesn't actually explain what that really means. We do know now that the flared fenders add 3.5 inches to the Demon's overall width. Overall, the car looks mean and purposeful, especially wrapped in just barely street-legal rubber. Follow along at www.ifyouknowyouknow.com and see if you can find and decipher all the hints. Related Video: Design/Style New York Auto Show Dodge Coupe Performance tires dodge demon dodge hellcat
Preserved truck found at the bottom of frozen lake
Tue, Jan 26 2016A fisherman in central Minnesota pulled more than bluegill and bass out of his local fishing hole earlier this month. While ice fishing on Mayhew Lake, a local man was startled when, using an underwater camera to scout for fish, he discovered a vehicle sitting on the lakebed, the SCTimes reported. He immediately called the Benton County Sheriff's office, which sent deputies to examine the vehicle. Once they arrived, the deputies used their own camera to have a look and discovered a late-90s to early-00s model Dodge Ram pickup in roughly 12 feet of water. The Sheriff's department dive team was then dispatched to search the truck and the area surrounding it for bodies or valuables. The truck was lifted from the lakebed through a huge hole in the ice. The Sheriff's office ran the plates and discovered that it was reported stolen in March of 2000 from a nearby address. Investigators believe that given the truck's location, almost 100 yards from the lake's public access ramp and 25 yards from the north shore, that it was driven on to the lake while it was frozen, then allowed to sink to the bottom once the ice melted. Thanks to the lake's frigid waters, the truck was surprisingly well preserved. Aside from a missing grille, a coating of mud inside, and a patina of rust on the sheet metal, there was little damage to the truck despite its long rest in the lake. With an engine full of lake water and the damage done by roughly sixteen freeze-thaw cycles, the truck will never run again, but its condition is a good testament to the build quality of those old Rams. It certainly held up better than that '57 Plymouth Belvedere they buried in the time capsule under the Tulsa city courthouse.

Continental Automotive recalls 5 million airbag control units
Thu, Feb 4 2016Takata isn't the only supplier having airbag problems. Rival manufacturer Continental Automotive Systems announced a recall of 5 million airbag control units fitted to vehicles from Honda, Fiat Chrysler Automotive, Mercedes-Benz, and even a certain Chrysler-based Volkswagen. This sweeping recall has actually been in progress for some time, although the exact scope is only now becoming evident. In October of 2015, Mercedes-Benz recalled 2008 and 2009 model year C- and GLK-Class vehicles because their Continental-made airbag control units could corrode. Such a condition could cause the airbags to deploy without cause or warning, or in the event of a crash, not deploy at all. You can read all about it in our post from last year. Now, Continental's recall is going wide. Alongside the already recalled C and GLK, you've already heard about the 2008 and 2009 Honda Accord airbag recall, which we reported on yesterday. Now, Fiat Chrysler is announcing the recall of the 2009 Dodge Journey, as well as the 2008 and 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country, and their rebadged counterpart, the Volkswagen Routan. Yes, one manufacturer is recalling another manufacturer's vehicle. The models listed above only amount to about 580,000 vehicles out of 5 million bad airbag control units. And since Continental will notify manufacturers who will then issue their own recalls, it's extremely likely that more brands and vehicles will be ensnared. Stay tuned.
