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,

( 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 !!)

Daily Driver videos are micro-reviews of vehicles in the Autoblog press fleet, reviewed by the staffers who drive them every day. Today's Daily Driver features the 2015 Ram ProMaster Cargo, reviewed by Seyth Miersma. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. Watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00:00] I'm in a vehicle that really kind of belies the name of this video series, Daily Driver. This is the 2015 Ram Promaster Cargo Van. I'm in the high roof extended length version of it. You can see that it's got an empty cargo bay behind me. It's a little strange because what I'm doing right now is commuting in it, which is definitely not what this van is made to do. The single strongest attribute of the Promaster [00:00:30:00] package that I found was its maneuverability at low speeds in and around town. That wasn't really something that I expected. I knew from driving the rest of the big vans in this segment. I've been in various Sprinters over the years, although not the brand new one, and I put a lot of miles actually on a Nissan NV. They're all meant to be more nimble than they would seem from their exterior, but the Ram just feels kind of a class above. It turns on a dime. It's really, really easy to [00:01:00:00] pull up close to a curb or another car and be able to just get in and out of a space with very little room around you. I had no problem getting up to speed with the rest of traffic. Merging and passing aren't really an issue. Sometimes you'll hear her struggle a little bit if you really put your foot in and you're trying to get around somebody, but that's just wind resistance and curb weight man, that's too be expected. Another aspect that I was really impressed with with the Promaster is the 3.6 [00:01:30:00] liter V6 engine, both in terms of its performance and its economy. It's putting out out 280 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque. It's a huge van. It's not quick. The cargo area back there is really nice. Not only is it tall enough that I can stand up in it. I mean, this vehicle is close to nine feet overall from the exterior dimensions. Access to the cargo area is just as easy as you would hope for too. You got a big, big sliding door over here. The rear doors open completely [00:02:00:00] flat so that it's easy to both maneuver and to get stuff in and out, obviously. The load floor is pretty low. Easily accessible. You've got the Uconnect screen with the nicer head unit.

Snagging a celebrity endorsement is a big deal for automakers, as evidenced by the recent efforts of the Detroit Three to try and woo The Tonight Show's newest host, Jimmy Fallon, into one of their trucks.
After announcing during Wednesday night's show that he was in the market for a pickup truck, Fallon set off a firestorm of efforts on Twitter, with both Ford and Chevrolet petitioning the funnyman to test out a truck. According to Ad Age, Ford recommended the King Ranch edition of its next-generation F-150 while the show was still airing. Chevy, meanwhile, waited until the next morning to pitch a Silverado to Fallon.
The winner of this social media feeding frenzy, though, was Ram. Promoting a variation of its "Guts, Glory, Ram" tagline, the Auburn Hills-based manufacturer created the hashtag #GUTSGLORYFallon. It even went so far as to park a Ram 1500 outside 30 Rockefeller Center in New York, where The Tonight Show is filmed. On the back of the Ram sat a sign, reading "Big enough, Jimmy? Test it out," referencing a joke from the Wednesday show.

Chrysler has issued a recall for some 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram C/V Tradesman vans built between May 10, 2012 and June 7, 2013. These vehicles may have a software error that would cause the wrong side (opposite side) airbags to deploy in a crash. With this defect, a left-side impact would cause the right-side airbag to deploy, etc.
The recall affects 281,500 vehicles in total: 224k in the US, 49,300 in Canada, 2,900 in Mexico and 5,300 in other locations. Chrysler will notify owners of effected vehicles, and reflash the offending occupant restraint control module to resolve the issue. Scroll down to read the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration press release.
