Read entire description before bidding:
I am not the original owner.  I bought this truck to do yard work with and haul mulch around.  It has been very reliable over the last two years. I have taken it on many long distance drives over the last two years as well - over 800 miles round trip.  Recently the truck started to buck a bit on the highway and seemed to misfire.  If I turn of the overdrive the problem clears and the truck seems to run and drive fine.  It idles perfectly smooth and the 4x4 works perfectly.  The truck does not burn oil.  I am not going to put money into this above and beyond the recent work done to fix the problem (read below for work done).

As you can see from the pictures, the passenger side has some body damage but it is not bad for what it is.  The driver's side is fine with very few body dings.  At some point before I bought it the truck was repainted so the paint shines nicely when detailed as do the wheels and rims.  The wheels are bigger than standard and the truck has a nice look to it.  The tires are in great shape and should last a long time.  I bought them for this truck new.

I removed the headliner and carpet from the cab to eliminate the oders from the previous owner and I painted the floor with a heavy bed liner and installed heavy rubber floor mats.  I also put a steering wheel cover and seat covers on as you can see from the picture.  All electronics including the stereo work as they should.  the air blows so cold I cant leave it on high.  Same with the heat.
one other problem that I know of is the master brake cylinder gives out from time to time and the peddle needs to be pumped a bit.  easy fix. 

I do want to also point out that the steering wheel is not perfectly centered when driving in a straight line.  The truck does not really pull to one side so probably needs an alignment.  Never bothered with this as it didn't bother me. 
The dashboard above the steering wheel is cracked but.  This is a work truck... don't expect it to be perfect in any way.

What I did to the truck over the last 3 months (while trying to fix it up):
-Replaced the radiator
-new wires, plugs and distributor cap + rotor
-new coil
-new battery end caps
-new 02 sensor
-new crank shaft position sensor
-new water pump and pulley tensioner
-new thermostat
-new brake pads and cylinders in the rear on both sides
-new front windshield (old one was cracked)

Again, this truck looks great when cleaned up, runs well and idles fine.  The engine is strong.  The truck develops a bucking above 50mph which I think may be related to the transmission.  It clears if you hit the over drive button.
At this point I am not spending money to fix it up.
If you know these trucks and have the ability to work on it, it would be a great one to fix up.  It is strong, clean and pretty much rust free.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

In the first picture, the fender and hood seem not to line up, I had the hood unlatched. Sorry about that. They line up perfectly when the hood is latched.

NHTSA investigating Chrysler for airbags, ignition switches

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Chrysler is being targeted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in a pair of actions that focus on over 1.2 million Jeeps, minivans and crossovers.
The first is a "preliminary investigation" that focuses on an airbag issue afflicting the Jeep Commander built in model years 2006 and 2007 and Grand Cherokee from 2005 to 2006. In total, 700,000 vehicles could potentially be affected. It's not entirely clear what the airbag issue is, with The Detroit Free Press simply stating that the restraint systems in the affected Jeeps may be "faulty."
The other investigation is what's called a "recall query" and it covers a problem that General Motors should be familiar with. In this case, there could be a problem with the ignition switches of 525,000 vehicles, ranging from 2008 to 2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans, to the 2008 to 2010 Dodge Journey crossover. Again, it's not entirely clear what sort of behavior prompted the 32 complaints that NHTSA has received on these vehicles.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
