As I write this listing, it "pains" me to have to do so.........but here we go: This is a 1996 Dodge Ram 3500 Club Cab Dually pickup with the rare 5.9L 12 valve cummins diesel engine and the 5 speed manual transmission. This truck has been in our family since the day it was purchased off the showroom floor in 1996 at Plainview Dodge in Plainview, Texas. My uncle first purchased it brand new and owned it for 3 years and put 29,680 miles on it.......then my grandpa bought it and has owned it until now and the mileage is 130, 848....... I told my grandpa years ago that if he ever wanted to get rid of this truck, that I wanted it........well, it just so happens that he and grandma have recently sold their rv camping trailer that they used this truck mainly for and no longer need the truck, so i figured that I was next in line to inherit this awesome pickup but the timing of all of this couldn't be worse!........I am older now, and after years of driving trucks over the road, etc, etc my poor old hip and left clutch leg has taken a beating and I can't drive a manual transmission nowadays without going thru alot of pain......so I can't use it now and this is the only reason that this truck is up for sale today! This rig has everything you want in a diesel pickup and more. Grandpa has taken excellent care of it over the years. It is set up to tow either a fifth-wheel trailer, a gooseneck trailer, or a bumper-pull trailer or anything else you can think of. It was always garaged with his camping trailer and his maintenance routine was second to none! (you look at the truck today, and its hard to believe that it is 18 years old !!!) I have included a CARFAX REPORT for you prospective buyers to show that it has never been wrecked, etc, etc and to show the true documented history of this pickup. It also comes with some extra's.......Reese 14k fifth wheel hitch mounted in pickup bed..........a full size locking diamond plate tool box mounted in pickup bed.............and a secondary exterior diesel fuel tank (45 gallons) that is mounted in pickup bed as well. This vehicle is ready to roll and can tow just about anything you have! ....It has 2 brand new batteries with 5yr warranty.... We had it professionally detailed, washed & waxed, and fresh oil change for the new owners and it can be driven anywhere! ......Here are some of the other specs and features: 5.9L I6 12 VALVE CUMMINS ENGINE, 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION NVG 4500, 2WD WITH DUAL REAR WHEELS, DANA REAR END, ABS BRAKES, POWER STEERING, POWER WINDOWS, POWER DOOR LOCKS, ENGINE BLOCK HEATER PLUG-IN, AM/FM CASSETTE STEREO SYSTEM, EXTRA 12V POWER OUTLETS, AFTERMARKET TRAILER BRAKE INSIDE CAB, TINTED WINDOWS AND VENTED REAR CAB WINDOWS, 40/20/40 SEAT GRAY CLOTH, REAR SEATING, 6 EXCELLENT CONDITION TIRES (80-90%) AND NEW SPARE TIRE AND JACK, EXTRA SET KEYS FOR TRUCK, TOOLBOX, ETC., ALL ORIGINAL HANDBOOKS, RECEIPTS, ETC FOR TRUCK, PROTECTIVE SPRAYED-IN BEDLINER, A 2ND SET OF STRAP ON TOW MIRRORS, CRUISE CONTROL, OVERHEAD COMPASS/TEMP CONSOLE, 35 GALLON STOCK FUEL TANK, CHROME DODGE WHEEL COVERS, CHROME “WESTIN” STEP BARS, ICE COLD A/C AND EXCELLENT HEATER, LIKE NEW DASH WITH CUSTOM DASH COVER (NO CRACKS OR DAMAGES AT ALL), Clear texas title, ......THIS IS A RUST-FREE TEXAS TRUCK AND IT HAS THE VERY POPULAR CUMMINS ENGINE THAT IS PRACTICALLY 'BULLETPROOF" AND IS KNOWN TO GET OVER 800,000 MILES OR MORE IF MAINTAINED PROPERLY !! ...PLUS THE ADDED BONUS OFHAVING A 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION !!.....(WITH THIS ONE ONLY HAVING 130,848 MILES......ITS BARELY BROKE IN !!) ( I’M SURE THERE’S MORE I’VE FORGOTTEN TO MENTION OR LIST) Now as you know, this is a "gently used "vehicle and is being sold as such, so if your looking for a brand new truck.........you better go get you one of them $65,000.00 rigs and don't waste your or my time.......but if you want a damn good well taken care of used truck and want to save yourself a ton of $$$$$..........then this truck is for you!......you won't be disappointed! A couple of other things before I close.......this truck is completely stock and the only modification that my grandpa did was he had cummins install a fuel cam plate on the truck a few years back in which it increased his horsepower from the stock 215hp to 330hp. (the original stock fuel plate is in the glovebox should new owner want to switch it back.......but i doubt you'd want to do that since it runs so damn good and has all the power you'll ever need!)........the paint and interior are all good and above average for a truck of this age......... there is a tiny rock chip in very bottom of windshield that was repaired by rock chip place so that it will not grow larger or get any worse, but it is hardly noticeable or in your sight of view.........there is a small area under passenger seat that has some minor carpet damage where I believe something was spilled at one time, but it is under the seat and not out in the open,it has a brand new texas inspection good thru 2015 and has a new registration to 2015.........i think that is everything I can think of about regarding this truck........any questions, please call or email me.........the truck is both being listed on ebay, craigslist, and advertised locally.......so we reserve the right to end auction or shut down the advertising at anytime should the right buyer arrive!.......good luck and contact me anytime day or night and check out the photos......they pretty much speak for themselves!......You may reach me at 806-557-4698 or 806-570-7797 or email: JVBIGDOG01@MSN.COM Also, this is a cash deal only!.........we are a private party- not a dealer....and we're not interested in any trades !!...........our asking price is $13,500.00 or best offer....Thank you and God Bless !!)

NHTSA is investigating FCA shifters for roll-away accidents again, this time the rotary units

Tue, Dec 20 2016

It seems FCA's shifter troubles aren't over yet. Now, just a few months after issuing a recall to resolve user-related issues with its monostable shifters, the company is again under investigation by NHTSA. The issue is related to the potential for cars to roll away when the rotary-style shifter is not properly placed in park. Two FCA models are the subject of this investigation: the 2013–2016 Ram 1500 and the 2014–2016 Dodge Durango. NHTSA estimates about 1,000,000 vehicles would be affected if a recall is issued. The investigation was started following 43 complaints of vehicles rolling away while supposedly being in "park." Among the complaints were reports of 25 crashes and 9 injuries. NHTSA does point out that in every incident, the parking brake was not engaged. A representative from FCA also gave us an official statement regarding the investigation: "FCA US is cooperating fully with NHTSA's investigation, the scope of which is limited. Other vehicles equipped with rotary shifters are not included. In accordance with prudent practice, the Company joins NHTSA in urging all drivers to use their vehicles' parking brakes." View 35 Photos As mentioned above, other Chrysler products with rotary shifters, such as the Pacifica minivan and 200 sedan, are not involved in this investigation. One of the key differences, as the representative told us, is that these vehicles have electronic parking brakes that automatically engage if the driver does not select park and then opens the door with the seatbelt unbuckled. The Ram 1500 and Durango feature mechanical, manually operated parking brakes and therefore cannot activate the brake automatically. Because this is currently an investigation, an exact cause for the incidents has yet to be determined, and none of the vehicles have been recalled. It's possible there could be a mechanical defect. However, the issue could be a confusing interface causing user error, as was the case with FCA's monostable shifters, where drivers think they've put the car in park but actually haven't. Something that indicates it could be a case of confused users is that NHTSA also opened an investigation into 2012–2014 Jaguar XF and Land Rover Range Rover Evoques for similar issues. Both vehicles use a rotary shifter and have had roll-away complaints levied as well. Even if it is a case of user error, FCA and Jaguar Land Rover may still have to recall their vehicles.

2019 Ram 1500 pickup is keepin' it steel — well, mostly

Thu, Aug 10 2017

The 2019 Ram 1500 pickup was ready for its close-up — an extreme close-up — from one of our spy photographers, who recently was able to walk around the entire truck, testing each body panel with a magnet. The result? He determined that the pickup will remain almost entirely steel, except for an aluminum hood and tailgate. This breaks from Ford's weight-saving move to aluminum on the F-150, and now in the coming Expedition, which has been the fodder of Chevy ads. Other details of the Ram 1500 facelift we already think we knew: The truck will get new front and rear facias. Coil springs with optional air suspension are likely to continue. It will get a larger cab. And a hybrid and turbocharged four-cylinder are possibilities. Predictably, a more powerful V8 and a Raptor fighter are rumored. Demon Ram, anyone? Meanwhile, here's a look at some Ram packages being offered for 2018. The 2019 Ram 1500 could debut as soon as January's Detroit Auto Show.

Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tundra flunk IIHS headlight test

Tue, Oct 25 2016

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety put pickup truck headlights to the test and found that the majority of them were equipped with subpar units. The 2017 Honda Ridgeline was the only truck to earn a rating of "good." The large pickup truck test was comprised of the: 2016 to 2017 GMC Sierra, 2017 Nissan Titan, 2016 Ram 1500, 2016 to 2017 Chevrolet Silverado, 2016 to 2017 Ford F-150, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tundra. The Sierra's headlights earned a rating of "acceptable," the headlights found on the Titan and Ram 1500 were found to be "marginal," and the ones on the Silverado, F-150, and Tundra were rated as "poor." IIHS claims the F-150 was the most disappointing out of the large pickup trucks as both its halogen and optional LED headlights failed to provide adequate visibility during testing. The Ridgeline (which earned a "good rating"), is usually considered a midsize or small truck, though IIHS included it in the field of large pickups. The headlights on the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, 2016 GMC Canyon, 2016 Nissan Frontier, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tacoma, which made up the small pickup truck group, all earned a rating of "poor." The IIHS claimed the Colorado had the worst headlights of any truck that was tested, as the base vehicle's units were only able to illuminate up to 123 feet in front of the car. The Ridgeline's headlights, for reference, were able to illuminate up to 358 feet in front of the vehicle. To conduct its test, the IIHS utilizes a special tool to measure how far light is projected out of the headlights in different driving situations. The trucks' headlights were tested in a straight line and in corners, while vehicles with high-beam assist were given extra praise. The headlights on the pickup trucks also mimic the testing that was done on small SUVs and cars earlier this year. Next year, automakers will need to fit their vehicles with headlights that earn a rating of either good or acceptable to earn the IIHS Top Safety Pick+. Related Video:
