Dodge Ram 3500 Dually 24V Cummins Diesel Dual Rear Wheel 2WD
1998 Dodge Ram 3500 SLT Laramie Quad Cab DRW.
I purchased this truck 4 years (only about 20k miles) ago after spending months searching nationwide. I had a lot of projects around the house that I needed a truck to haul materials for, and I had a few cars to transport across town and I decided this was the most truck I could possibly get for my money. There were a LOT for sale back then, but I had strict criteria- I had to have a decent truck, clean/clear title (NOT salvage), with no rust, manual transmission, leather seats, the injection pump needed to have been replaced already, but mileage didn't really matter to me as the Cummins will run 500,000 miles easily if properly maintained. Finally I found this one- it was in good shape, but it did need some work here and there, and then a few weeks later the 5th gear transmission went out so I decided to just go ahead and take care of everything to avoid down time in the future. - remanufactured NV4500 with fully splined mainshaft, welded 5th gear nut, and correct fluid - new heavy duty clutch kit, master cylinder/slave cylinder assembly - rebuilt driveshaft and new support bearing - new rear differential fluid - new rear sway bar links - new upper and lower ball joints - new wheel bearings - new brake rotors/pads, calipers, and hoses - new HD truck shocks front and rear - new power, heated towing mirrors - new headlights, new LED tail lights, 3rd brake light, and sidemarker/running lamps - new batteries - new heater core - new silicone heavy duty intercooler hoses with stainless clamps - coolant flush and new belt I have always changed the oil every 7,500 miles with Shell Rotella, and Purolator filters. I always change the fuel filter at the same time, and its never been run out of fuel. I also use stanadyne diesel fuel additive every other fill up. Both the lift pump and the injection pump have been replaced on the truck by the dealer but it was prior to my ownership. To make sure I got the maximum MPG possible, I installed a VOLANT Air Filter Box, K&N Filter, custom mandrel bent 3" Straight exhaust (sounds great, not obnoxious at all) and an Edge Juice with Attitude unit. The Edge allowed me to use a "mileage" tune during normal driving and easily switch to a "towing" tune if I needed it. There are other settings, but I never used them. I was able to get 19.1 MPG around town, which is amazing for such a heavy truck. The Edge also displays 4 selectable gauge outputs, I use it to monitor engine temp, fuel pressure, EGT, and oil pressure but it can also be set to display several other values, like transmission temperature, which is hooked up on this truck by the way. I also used the turbo cool down feature, which idles the truck even after I cut the key off until the EGT cools down to 280 degrees. This extends engine oil life and cuts down on turbocharger wear. This truck was bone stock when I bought it and I do still have all the original parts I removed, and they are included with the sale of the truck. The full size spare is present and mounted under the bed where it should be. The tools to remove it are also present, stowed under the rear seat. This truck has the factory "Towing Package" that includes rear sway bar, etc. About 3,000 miles ago I removed the chrome simulators (they are included with the truck), painted the wheels black, and got 6 new 245/75R16 tires. This truck has working cruise control, power windows, power locks, radio, the owners manual is in the glovebox, all the doors open and shut properly, the sliding glass latch isn't broken, and I replaced the dashboard upper panel so NO CRACKS! As seen in the pictures, the drivers seat is of course worn, this actually never bothered me but new replacement leather seat bottom covers are available. All the other leather is in great shape, except for one small crack on the front center seat/armrest (shown in pics). This truck has the reverse opening rear doors, a great feature. Also, engine block heater, LEONARD bedliner, upgraded speakers front and rear, class 5 tow hitch, etc. To my knowledge it has never been smoked in. The glovebox opens all the way. The fuel gauge sometimes will not work, but it has never bothered me enough to worry about, even though it will go about 500 miles on a full tank, I just top it off after about 300 miles. The truck does have factory installed keyless entry- but I do not have the remote key fob. The interior rearview mirror fell off the windshield recently, I do still have it and its included with the truck just needs to be re-glued. There is also an auxiliary fuel pump installed on the frame rail should the lift pump ever fail. It was repainted about 5 years ago I believe, and it does have scratches and door dings like any truck this age would have. There is a dent on the right rear door, and a couple of small dings I will do my best to show in the photos. Also there is a scratch on the right dually fender. There are several scratches on the top of the bed rails, but that is normal. There is a dent in the right rear cab corner next to the rear window, some of the paint chipped off as well and there is a small rust spot but no rusted through. There is a dent on the right side of the rear bumper. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask I will happy to help. Please note truck is also for sale locally and is still being driven. SHOULD BIDDING REACH THE RESERVE PRICE: I will include my Magellan GPS unit and Tekonsha P3 Proportional Brake Controller with the truck! IF and WHEN the reserve is met, I will add mention of such to the item description and if it hits $1000 over the reserve (which it should) I will have the truck professionally detailed inside and out in preparation for its new owner! Thanks! THIS LISTING WILL END SATURDAY EVENING NOVEMBER THE 16TH AT: 8:00 PM EST 7:00 PM CST 6:00 PM MST 5:00 PM PST ... SO, WHEREVER YOU ARE, SET YOUR PHONES TO REMIND YOU NOW! |

eBay Find of the Day: 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10 with 504 miles
Tue, 26 Nov 2013It's typically hard to find early examples of the Dodge Viper that haven't been crashed or modified, but one eBay seller has a showroom-fresh version of the V10 roadster up for sale worthy of an eBay Find of the Day.
With just 504 miles on the odometer (according to the description and not the images) and "no defects at all," this 1994 Viper is a rare find indeed. Tack on the Buy It Now price of just $37,500 and it seems like a steal - especially when checking out the prices and conditions of other early Vipers currently listed on eBay.
Even after spending months ogling the all-new 2014 SRT Viper, it's hard to ignore the raw beauty of the original open-top model. From the three-spoke wheels to the calf-searing side pipes, everything about this Viper looks just the way it did when it rolled off the line almost 20 years ago. The seller even says that the top and windows have never been installed meaning there are no scratches anywhere on this car!
2016 Dodge Viper ACR racks up lap records
Thu, Nov 5 2015With 645 horsepower and an adjustable spoiler nearly six feet wide, the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR would look at home on the runways of most any airport, air base, or aircraft carrier in the world. But it's not built for the runway. It's built for the race track. And it has positively mastered them one after another. In fact, the new Viper ACR has not only beat the lap times of its own predecessor as it set out to, but took the production-car lap record at 13 tracks across the country. The endeavor started out at the Inde Motorsport Ranch in Arizona, where development engineer Chris "The Wolf" Winkler set a lap time of 1:33.75 on the Configuration 4 track to beat every other street-legal vehicle to ever lap the circuit. Then it was off to Buttonwillow, the MotorSport Ranch (in Cresson, TX), Big Willow, VIR, Grattan, Pittsburg, GingerMan, the Motown Mile, Nelson Ledges, Waterford Hills, and Road Atlanta. And with the new American Club Racer, Dodge took the lap record at each and every one. The journey culminated just days ago at Laguna Seca, where track expert Randy Pobst climbed into the Viper ACR and set a lap time of 1:28.65. That's 5.27 seconds faster than the previous ACR's time, and 1.24 seconds faster than the Porsche 918 Spyder that held the record until now. The sum total is a bragging-rights sheet of lap records set at 13 tracks across these United States. And you don't have to take Dodge's word on that. The records have been certified by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), cementing the ACR's place in the record books. Nice work if you can get it, and you can scope it out in the video above and press release below.

How to turn a Dodge airport tug into a trail slayer
Sun, 16 Nov 2014Sometimes, having a ton of fun requires takes a ton of work. Just nine days before the so-called Ultimate Adventure 2014, the folks behind 4-Wheel & Off-Road had 40 tasks to complete in order to turn the ratty truck pictured above into a machine that could excel on treacherous off-road trails while still being able to handle highway jaunts. Much of process behind the build was chronicled on the latest episode of Dirt Every Day.
The team's vehicle started life as a 1990 Dodge tug truck that spent part of its life hauling around airplanes. The builders hung on to the Cummins six-cylinder diesel, but they tossed out practically everything else for the project, with some seriously heavy-duty replacement parts for the transmission, transfer case, axles and a whole lot more. The process was certainly a ton of work, but the end result looks like a fantastic crawler.
Sure, it might have been easier to bring a truck that was already prepared, but where would the fun in that have been? Stay tuned until the end of the video for a few glimpses of the completed Dodge and peek at some of the punishment it goes through.
