2005 Dodge Ram 3500 on 2040-cars
Iuka, Illinois, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : edwinekkurek@ukhair.net .
Up for sale is my 2005 Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel street queen, never had a fifth wheel hook up or did any towing
except for the occasional utility trailer with a couple hundred pounds on it. It has 2007 front clip, the previous
owner liked the newer look better than the original 2005 headlights and front clip. Comes with painted to match
Leer Camper shell / Topper. The truck is currently in Illinois due to a recent move from NC. I bought this truck
in Florida where it lived its entire life, it has never seen snow or salt as you can tell by the under side photos.
This is not a show truck, it is a very dependable hard working truck that loves to be driven. I bought it with
97k miles on it in January of 2014. I have driven it from NC to the following places...all highway
miles...Oklahoma twice, New York twice and to Florida three times which is where the new 32k "ish" miles have come
from. I am a school trained diesel mechanic so i can ensure you this truck has been spoiled and loved on since I
have owned it. Below is a list of upgrades done to the truck since I have owned it.
- Banks intercooler and tubing
- Banks Air intake horn
- ATS two piece exhaust mainfold, with EGT probe
- 63mm phatshaft turbo upgrade
- BRAND NEW (not refurbished) Bosch fuel injectors with +50HP over stock
- Billet input and output shafts in transmission
- Bully dog GT tuner...never raced!! used for fuel economy with upgrades for highway driving
- Transmission was totally gutted and rebuilt with red disc clutch's
- Suncoast triple disc torque converter
- Has Chevy shift solenoids with the HD valve body
- ATS deep tranny pan with temp sensor
- 3 inch leveling kit (done right) with extended trailing arms, adjustable track bar, sway bar extensions, 3" drop
pitman arm, B&D steering stabilizer bar with dampener and bearing for steering box.
- Brand new steering gear box
- ALL new ball joints(top and bottom)
- Bilstein shocks in rear
THE BAD
- The paint is not 100%, passenger side bed side was just replaced with a brand new one and painted to match (hit
and run in parking lot). Would never tell by looking at it.
- Small rip on center counsel lid about an 1" long...dog did it last month with his nail
- 12v charger/plug doesn't work inside center counsel
- leaks a tiny tiny bit of oil from camshaft output seal on the top front of motor...has leaked since I have owned
it and it hasn't gotten worse (trust me I have been watching it)
There is nothing else wrong with the truck, I have nothing to hide...feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.
Chrysler recalling 67k trucks with manual transmissions
Tue, Dec 30 2014Earlier this month, Chrysler announced the recall of some 280,000 pickup trucks over concerns that their axles could seize up. Now the automaker has announced an entirely separate recall of another 66,819 trucks over the springs that could break in the clutch ignition interlock switch. The recall affects Dodge Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups, as well as the Dodge Dakota and Mitsubishi Raider. The issue is relevant only to those trucks fitted with manual transmissions, from the 2006 and 2007 model years and manufactured between July 1, 2005, and July 31, 2006. Since a broken spring could, according to statements issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and FCA US LLC (previously known as the Chrysler Group) prevent the vehicle from starting, or cause it to move unintentionally once the ignition kicks over, the automaker will begin notifying owners of the affected vehicles just before Valentine's Day to bring their trucks into their local dealers to have the clutch ignition interlock switch replaced. FCA emphasizes, however, that the unintended movement would only occur "in rare cases" and only "if recommended starting procedures are not followed." Only one such case is known to have occurred, but it did regrettably result in a fatality. Statement: Clutch Ignition Interlock Switch December 29, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is launching a voluntary global recall of an estimated 66,819 older-model pickup trucks equipped with manual transmissions. The Company will replace their clutch ignition interlock switches at no charge to customers. An investigation by FCA US engineers discovered switches in certain model-year 2006 and 2007 pickups may be equipped with spring wire that differs from wire used in previous switches. The alternate wire may break and, as a result, the vehicles may not start. In rare cases, a vehicle may – if recommended starting procedures are not followed – exhibit unintended movement when its ignition key is turned. The Company is aware of one fatality related to this campaign. It stemmed from the single known accident involving this population of vehicles. The recall covers certain Dodge Dakota, Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 and Mitsubishi Raider pickups. Switches with the alternate wire were not used in any vehicles produced before July of 2005, or after June of 2006. The Dakota and Raider are no longer in production.
Preserved truck found at the bottom of frozen lake
Tue, Jan 26 2016A fisherman in central Minnesota pulled more than bluegill and bass out of his local fishing hole earlier this month. While ice fishing on Mayhew Lake, a local man was startled when, using an underwater camera to scout for fish, he discovered a vehicle sitting on the lakebed, the SCTimes reported. He immediately called the Benton County Sheriff's office, which sent deputies to examine the vehicle. Once they arrived, the deputies used their own camera to have a look and discovered a late-90s to early-00s model Dodge Ram pickup in roughly 12 feet of water. The Sheriff's department dive team was then dispatched to search the truck and the area surrounding it for bodies or valuables. The truck was lifted from the lakebed through a huge hole in the ice. The Sheriff's office ran the plates and discovered that it was reported stolen in March of 2000 from a nearby address. Investigators believe that given the truck's location, almost 100 yards from the lake's public access ramp and 25 yards from the north shore, that it was driven on to the lake while it was frozen, then allowed to sink to the bottom once the ice melted. Thanks to the lake's frigid waters, the truck was surprisingly well preserved. Aside from a missing grille, a coating of mud inside, and a patina of rust on the sheet metal, there was little damage to the truck despite its long rest in the lake. With an engine full of lake water and the damage done by roughly sixteen freeze-thaw cycles, the truck will never run again, but its condition is a good testament to the build quality of those old Rams. It certainly held up better than that '57 Plymouth Belvedere they buried in the time capsule under the Tulsa city courthouse.
