1996 Dodge Ram 3500
These trucks are getting harder and harder to find, especially with all the options this one has to offer. You are looking at a 1996 Dodge Ram 3500 with the legendary 12 valve 5.9L Cummins diesel motor. To back up the powerhouse, this truck has the highly sought after 5 speed manual transmission. It does not get any better than this. This truck is a long bed dually and it is a pulling machine. You will find these trucks everywhere that have been run the life out of, but not this one. This is basically a mechanically bone stock 12 valve. The only thing I have modified is the looks of the truck. I use the truck for hauling, and it does what I expect it to do and beyond. I wanted a great looking truck that I could get in and drive across country if needed, and this is the truck.
Below is a list of what makes this truck: - VIN: 1B7MC36C5TS586974 - 12 Valve 5.9L Cummins Diesel - New 5 speed manual transmission (less than 10,000 miles) - New Factory replacement clutch (less than 10,000 miles) - New brakes (rotors and pads) - New ball joints - New idler arm - New belt - New pitman arm - New steering stabilizer - New Valvoline synthetic fluids bumper to bumper - In-bed gooseneck ball hitch - Plastic bed liner - Cold AC - RECON LED Cab clearance lights - RECON LED Fender marker lights - RECON LED 3rd brake light - Black housing LED trail lights - Black housing head lights (with bright blue bulbs) - New Michelin tires (less than 1,000 miles) - New Rockstar dually wheels (less than 1,000 miles) - Lowered 2” in the front and 6” in the rear (all leafs are still present) - New white paint job (grille and bumper painted to match) - 5% tint with 35% on windshield - Straight piped exhaust with 4” MBRP tip - New In-Dash 7” flip-up TV/DVD/MPS/Ipod/Sirus - CLEAN AND CLEAR TITLE IN HAND - CARFAX INCLUDED The BAD: - 245,XXX miles. - Leaks oil (if a 12 valve does not leak oil, then the motor is dry) - Driver’s side window switches short every now and then. Windows roll up and down just fine. - Paint is not a $10,000 paint job. However, it does look good. - Interior does not look as good as the exterior. - Heater core is by-passed (probably a bad heater core). - Parking brake does not work. - Trailer wiring is not in place. -
Dash is cracked and drivers seat is torn.
I’m sure I am forgetting a few things. As you can tell, I have invested thousands into this truck in order to make it the perfect road hauling machine. It looks slick as could be driving down the road with or without a trailer, and that is exactly what I wanted. This truck does have 245,XXX miles and yes, it does leak oil; it is a 12 valve Cummins. It does not pour oil but it certainly marks its spot when you let it sit overnight. I would not be afraid to jump in this truck today and drive it across the country.
This is NOT a show truck. It is a truck that is made to work but still look good while doing so. This is my 5th Cummins, and every one I have owned has had over 300,000 miles. How long these motors last depends on how well they are maintained. This one will last 500,000 miles without a doubt.

Work at a Chrysler dealership, get free college education
Mon, May 4 2015The cost of a college education in the US can put a student tens (hundreds, in some cases) of thousands of dollars into debt. FCA US wants to give its dealership employees a leg up, though, and the automaker is now offering a completely free education to them through a partnership with Strayer University. The workers can take any of the college's classes online or on campus through program called Degrees@Work. Currently, the offer is only available to employees Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat dealers in the automaker's Southeast region, which includes Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. However, a national expansion will happen before the end of the year, Strayer spokesperson Cristina Henley tells Autoblog. The program will cover all of the students' expenses, including their books, according to Henley. FCA US sees this partnership as a way to improve the talent of its workforce, retain employees longer and possibly attract people wanting to take advantage of this free education. "Many of our dealers have expressed concern over the availability of talent to fill open positions due to business growth and turnover in their stores, especially in metro markets," Al Gardner, the company's Head of Dealer Network Development, said in the Degrees@Work announcement. Strayer has about 40 programs available, including in business administration, accounting, marketing, and more, and the university offers associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees. It will also give FCA US employees credit for their work experience to get them a diploma even more quickly. FCA US Dealers to Offer Employees No-Cost, No-Debt College Education FCA US teams with Strayer University to develop first-of-its-kind dealer program Degrees@Work program open to all employees of participating dealerships Employees can earn no-cost, no-debt degree through Strayer University All Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge, Ram and FIAT dealerships may participate First phase of program rollout begins with dealers in the FCA US Southeast Business Center National rollout expected later this year May 4, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Employees of Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge, Ram and FIAT dealerships will have the unique opportunity to earn a no-cost, no-debt college degree through Strayer University's Degrees@Work program, developed in collaboration with FCA US LLC. FCA US is the only company in the automotive industry to offer the program.
Does the future of Fiat-Chrysler include Dodge?
Thu, 13 Jun 2013Wards Auto reports the future of Dodge is looking uncertain. Fiat has more or less laid out it's game plan for the next few years, and while the Chrysler, Fiat and Jeep lines are set to receive plenty of love, Dodge isn't so lucky. Fiat has already hobbled Dodge significantly by splitting off the brand's trucks into a separate Ram line.
Wards says that after the Avenger rides off into the sunset early next year, Fiat-Chrysler won't replace the model, leaving a gaping midsize hole in the Dodge lineup. The report also cites unnamed sources as saying that at least two other current Dodge products will move to the Chrysler line.
One of those could very well be the Grand Caravan. Chrysler has already made it clear that it plans to trim redundancy between its minivan offerings, but it has yet to clarify which other vehicle could sail under the Chrysler banner moving forward. Either way, such changes to the product line would theoretically leave Dodge with just four models.
Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.
