Up for sale is my own 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT (4WD). This truck is the Megacab version, and is equipped with a 5.9HO Cummins diesel, and automatic transmission with overdrive. This truck is in excellent shape inside and out. I am the second owner of this truck (I purchased it in 2007 with only 11,500 miles on it) and I intended on keeping it for as long as I needed a truck this capable. I've been simplifying my life here lately and have been getting rid of the toys that I have that don't use as much as I use to. This truck was originally purchased to haul my one-ton TJ (rockcrawler) around the East Coast to various wheeling areas. Now that I've sold the Jeep and the car trailer, I just don't want to see this truck sitting unused for weeks at a time.
Factory Options:
- SLT Package
- Tow Package
- Power Windows
- Power Door Locks
- Power Rear Sliding Glass
- Fold down rear seats
- Reclining Rear seats
- ABS
- Driver/Passenger Airbags
- Keyless Entry
- Forged Wheels
- Michelin Tires
Owner Added Options:
- Amsoil Bypass Oil Filtration System (uses OEM Filter location and an additional location on Driver's side of the motor). One of the best oil filtration systems on the market
- Glacier Diesel Performance Fuel Filter System (OEM filter remains intact, adds an additional filter element between stock fuel filter and CP3 pump) Protects fuel injectors from debris; filters smaller containment particles than a stock filter.
- Two "New" Diehard Platinum AGM batteries (same manufacturer that builds Odyssey Batteries)
- Battery Mender AGM Automatic float charger wired into battery charging system.
- Autometer Gauges installed into Triple-Gauge Pod (Pyro, Trans, and Boost) Factory Match Gauges, LED back lit, with standalone dimmer
- Prodigy Brake Controller
- Uniden Bearcat CB (If you tow a lot in the middle of nowhere, this becomes an essential item when caravanning). Easily removed if not wanted.
- Tinted Windows (Professionally installed, high-end film) Tint matches factory tinted rear-windows.
- Cover Craft Seat Covers (factory seats in excellent condition, no known tears, stains or spills) A great set of seat covers. I will remove the seat covers for photos if it is a deal breaker. They are not the easiest to take off and on, but I can assure you the factory seats are in great condition. I take care of my vehicles.
- Weathertech Floor mats.
- Firestone riderite air bags.
- B&W Turn-over gooseneck ball mount in bed
- Bilstein Mono-tube Shocks
- Mopar one-piece aluminum driveshaft (bought straight from the dealer) Still have two-piece driveshaft with carrier bearing, if so desired.
- Line-X spray in bed liner
- Weather Tech Toolbox, Line-X'd inside and out.
- Geno's Garage Muffler Delete (Gives the truck a deep sound, reduces EGTs, and thanks to the Megacab's factory resonator, no drone either)
Maintained Items:
- Oil Changed every 7,500 miles with Amsoil Synthetic. (Even though not required, I change out both the Bypass Filter, and the OEM filter at each change)
- Fuel Filter changed every 7,500 miles. (both stock filter and Aftermarket Fleetguard filter, even though the fleetguard filter is rated for 15,000 miles)
- Coolant factory flushed and exchanged as recommended by Dodge (every 5 years or 60,000 miles)
- Transmission Fluid and Filter changed. Mopar synthetic fluid and Mopar Filter
- Front and Rear Differential Fluid Changed every 15,000 miles (Always replaced with full-synthetic)
- Transfercase fluid serviced at 60,000 miles.
- Tires have good tread and no repairs
- Bilstein Shocks added
- Underside of truck coated with Boeshield T-9 every year for Rust prevention. No Rust issues, just used as a preventative.
- Truck is professionally detailed every three-months (Washed, Clayed, polish, wax, and sealed). Paint is in excellent condition. Few light scratches and road chips here and there from 6-years of light use. This was by no means a work-truck, and was always treated with respect.
This truck is truly part of the family, and quite frankly I'm still a little torn on selling it. I've really had no big issues with this truck. She drives straight down the road; no vibrations, no squeaks, no rattles. She runs great, she pulls well, and is really a fantastic truck. Again, if I had more of a use for it, I'd have no problem keeping it. However, I have no trailers to pull anymore, and my position in the fire service affords me a take-home vehicle, which results in this truck just sitting wanting to be used. If you've been around vehicles as much as I have, you know the worst thing that can happen to a boat/car/truck/airplane is for it to sit unused or to simply rarely use it. The truck has 74,000 miles and has never been flogged, abused or altered in any detrimental way. Every modification that was made to it was to increase life expectancy, not decrease it. This truck has not "rolled coal", has not seen any mud, and frankly has not even spun a tire in it's entire existence with me. Again, this is a vehicle I intended keeping for the long haul, and I really do care about keeping up with maintenance items. I've always been a firm believer in taking care of your equipment and it will take care of you ( I am in the fire-service after all).
I will be glad to answer any questions that you may have as I've been through this truck from one end to the other. You may find better "deals" from some of the car dealers on here, but to them these trucks are just another item they've got to shine up and sling on to the next guy. They don't really care about what they're selling you. I can tell you that I could sell this truck to my best friend, and there wouldn't ever be a cross word said about this truck years down the road.
This is a vehicle that holds its value, and rightfully so due to the 5.9HO Cummins motor (last year of the pre-emission diesels).
Kelly Blue Book Values this truck for Private Party Value at
$34,234 in Excellent Condition
$33,434 in Very Good Condition
$32,534 in Good Condition
$29,834 in Fair Condition
I also know the dealer Black Book value, as well as the general bank loan value of the truck, and I believe that the bidding for this truck will be right in line for its condition. This truck will sell to the general public for what the dealership will give me as a trade-in. That is a great deal for this truck in this condition.
I will assist with shipping in anyway that I can. Be advised that the truck will not leave my possession until payment in full has been made. That means the check clears and posts, or the cash is counted out in my hand. I have a free and clear South Carolina title in my name. Good luck and happy bidding. If you have a feedback score of less than 5, or if I feel uncomfortable in the slightest way about your profile or your history I will cancel your bid.

Daily Driver: 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
Tue, May 26 2015Daily 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 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, reviewed by Greg Migliore. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. Watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: [00:00:00] Hey, everybody. It's Greg Migliore and today I am driving a 707-horsepower Dodge Charger. That can only mean one thing: I'm driving the Hellcat. Naturally, the spotlight feature of this car is the 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. Makes 707 horsepower and 650 pound feet of torque. [00:00:30] Now naturally the engine sounds great and you can hear all of those horses going out the exhaust in back, which I think the Dodge guys have tuned really well. I think it's got one of the more unique sounds in the industry. All that horsepower will do that, but they've tuned it so there's a low kind of growl, and then it burbles and it's angry [00:01:00], it's visceral. I like it. It's intoxicating. It's different than other muscle cars. It's different than European exotics. I think it sounds great. I'm driving in sport right now which allows me to use the paddle shifters. I think it sounds a little better and the shifts of the eight-speed automatic transmission are a little bit more aggressive. For such a powerful car, Dodge did a nice job of tuning it to be actually pretty drivable. I just took a corner right there and the [00:01:30] steering offers you satisfying weight to your inputs. It's a little bit of a heavier steering, especially compared to some of the earlier generation Chargers. It's sporty, but it's not crazy. The design of the Dodge Charger is a critical element. That's why a lot of people buy this car, is it gives them that muscle car heritage look. The Hellcat has some special design cues that are also functional. You've got a couple of extra air intakes up front, keeps everything cool and breathing, the air flowing through; a nice spoiler in back [00:02:00] that helps keep the aero, and the downforce keeps you on the ground. The HID projector headlights really pop, especially at night, and in back you've got the LED taillights that spread out wide across the back end of this car like some of the great Chargers of the past. This car rolls on 20-inch black wheels with a spiderweb design. I think they look good. They're kind of low-key, which I think is great.
Subaru Legacy pitted against Roadkill project cars
Fri, 05 Sep 2014There's an evergreen debate among auto enthusiasts about whether they would prefer to have the latest and greatest car of today or a certified classic from yesteryear. What if you had to further define that, though, and the choice was between a brand new 2015 Subaru Legacy or a turbocharged Datsun 240Z with a hatch that wouldn't close? Roadkill aimed to find out that and more in one of its best videos to date.
According to the hosts, Subaru came to them, handed over some money and challenged Roadkill's project cars against its latest Legacy. The result is every bit as good (or better) than any automotive-themed show you could find on television.
Things start simple with a figure-eight race in a rodeo arena with the Subaru taking on Roadkill's 1968 Ford Ranchero, originally built for ice racing. From there the Legacy races a 1968 Dodge Charger with no windows around and off-road rally stage. Finally, the Subie goes head-to-head against the Rotsun, the aforementioned turbocharged 240Z, through an abandoned neighborhood. Plus, there's a bonus drag race challenging them all.
2015 Dodge Challenger looks fresh, still plenty retro [w/video]
Thu, 17 Apr 2014It was the Ford Mustang that kicked off the retro-styled muscle car renaissance back in 2005, but it was the Dodge Challenger that served as the movement's poster child, with its unabashedly retro looks. Over the years, though, as the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro were freshened and upgraded, the look of the big Dodge has remained largely consistent since its 2008 debut. For 2015, the Challenger has received a big freshening, boasting strongly revised front and rear ends and (finally, finally, finally) a redesigned interior.
Let's talk about that new cabin first. It's basically been plucked directly from the redesigned Charger, and boasts the same seven-inch IP display. The center stack's miserable, last-gen display has been replaced by an expansive, 8.4-inch UConnect system. Material quality should see a solid boost with the new cabin, as well.
The exterior, meanwhile, sees a revised front fascia with LED halo lights, as well as new grille inserts. A functional shaker hood scoop is a must-have extra on the V8 models, while the back of the car is highlighted by a new set of LED taillights that don't use the "Racetrack" design of Dodge's other models.
