2003 DODGE RAM 2500 SLT QUAD LONGBED 4X2 DIESEL HO CUMMINS 88,891 Mi

I am selling my 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT Quad Cab Longbed 4X2
with the High Output Cummins Diesel and 88,891 original miles

Truck is in the Nanaimo, British Columbia area.

For Mainland buyers I can meet you at the Nanaimo Ferry Terminal with the truck for viewing

I will deliver the truck to Tsawwassan or Horseshoe Bay terminal at no charge after the truck is confirmed paid for

This Ram was originally sold in the US to a retired couple who towed their trailer to Florida for the winters. I have original service receipts showing the truck in Florida during the winter. The original owner & his wife passed away and the truck went to their son, who sold it to me. I am the 3rd owner.

A carfax comes with the truck showing 3 owners, and no accidents or claims of any kind. This truck has the proper original US DOT safety and emissions stickers in place, plus the proper Canadian RIV sticker and paperwork from when I imported it into Canada – see photos below.

This truck complies with all applicable safety and emissions laws in both Canada and the US and according to US Customs can be registered for the road anywhere in the US, or registered anywhere in Canada. According to US Customs because it was originally built for and sold in the US, it can be re-imported into the US without any duties charged. I received a copy of the original title in the original owner’s name showing it titled originally in the US. I also received the original build sheet supplied by Dodge showing the same original owner’s name and all the options he ordered on the truck. The truck comes with all paperwork for the importations into Ontario, Canada and then into British Columbia, which required independent professional safety/mechanical fitness inspections both times, which the truck passed with no problems. All of this original paperwork comes with the truck.

This truck is built for long distance hauling with good fuel economy. It has the optional HO Cummins diesel engine with 555 pound-ft of torque and 2-WD with a limited slip differential.

The Dodge Ram website shows the maximum tow weight for this truck at 13,550 pounds and the CGWR weight at 20,000 pounds (search on: dodgeram.info/2003/load-tow/2500).

This is my personal truck bought to move across Canada to BC, and I do not use it enough to justify keeping. This truck is not for off-roading. It is for hauling loads big distances economically. The trip computer in the truck shows about 22-23 MPG on the highway empty, and about 19.5 MPG pulling 6,000 pounds on the level. The 5th wheel mount that the original owner had installed for his trailer is still in the bed.

This has never been a work or commute truck. It has been garaged while I owned it. The truck is clean with no tears or rips in the interior. It has 4 near-new Bridgestones, drives terrific, and is properly maintained. In the last 9,000 miles the truck has been serviced mostly by Dodge Ram dealers with new brake rotors + pads front & rear, new front wheel bearings, new parking brake shoes, and new rear axle seals. These receipts come with the truck. Also regular oil & filter changes and rear axle lube changed. Both batteries replaced by Dodge Ram dealer with Dodge OEM batteries shortly before I purchased it.

This truck is in really good cosmetic and operating condition but, as a used vehicle is sold with no guarantees expressed or implied. It has 88,891 miles at the time this is written and is 10 years old. It is not a new truck, but has been lightly used and well cared for. There are imperfections, one shown in photos: a small dent next to the right rear tail light. Also a small dent on the tailgate and two small dents in the rear bumper.

The truck comes with its original build sheet from Dodge showing all the options plus its original owners manual and other books.

The options on this truck include:

Optional High Output Cummins diesel engine with 555 pound-ft (standard engine was 460 pound-ft).

The build sheet says this engine option cost $5,225 in 2003

6-speed manual transmission and 11.50 LSD differential

8 foot longbed

Tow package, 7-pin connector

Power front drivers seat and front centre storage cushion/bins

Extra lights in sun visors, dome, and underhood.

Auto dim rear view mirror

Keyless entry with alarm. The truck comes with the two original keys and remotes, which work

Optional folding flat-load rear floor with storage underneath

Sliding rear window, tow mirrors, fog lamps, hood shield, leather wrapped wheel

Also has all the standard stuff for the SLT including A/C (WORKS), trip/mileage computer, etc

Also comes with a very nice Swiss topper with keys and locks that work, made specifically for this truck

I have described this truck to the best of my ability.
Viewing the truck is encouraged.
I will work with bidders to answer questions or get additional photos.

Please ask your questions before the bidding ends.

Bidders must have funds or a cash line of credit available for this truck before bidding.

Dodge Scat Packages add Mopar performance upgrades in three stages

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Dodge has revealed what it calls Scat Package Stage Kits that enhance the performance of the Charger and the Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter V8, and the Dart equipped with the turbocharged 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine. The Scat Packs use Mopar performance parts that also can be bought separately. Most of the upgrades increase engine output, but Dodge somehow manages to not specifically mention the power gains associated with each Scat Pack.
The three Scat Packs offered for the V8-powered cars focus on higher power ratings, and each stage comes complete with a unique engine-management calibration to optimize output. Stage one comes with a cold-air intake and a cat-back exhaust; stage two adds a performance camshaft; and stage three really gives you the goods, adding ported polished cylinder heads and performance headers.
For the Dart, the Scat Packs focus on engine, transmission, chassis and brake upgrades. Stage one will net you a cold-air intake, a short-throw shifter and slotted rotors with performance brake pads; stage two adds a cat-back exhaust system and an engine-management calibration to increase output by taking advantage of premium-octane gasoline; and stage three adds 13-inch vented brake discs up front clamped by four-piston calipers, suspension with adjustable springs and struts and performance front and rear antiroll bars.

2015 Dodge Challenger gets 6.4L 485-HP V8 Scat Pack

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

While it's not seeing the drastic facelift of its brother, the Charger, at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 Challenger is packing some upgrades of its own. It wears even more retro-inspired styling cues, and there are new 6.4-liter Scat Pack and Shaker trims.
If you thought the Challenger looked retro before, Dodge is taking things even farther with inspiration for the refresh coming from the iconic 1971 model. Up front, it has a new split grille, a larger power bulge in the hood and projector fog lights. At the rear, the classic inspiration continues with split LED taillights with Gloss Black trim, and a rear valance panel redesigned to make the 2015 model look wider and lower.
The '71 motif is carried inside as well with a high-sill center console and aluminum gauge bezels. There's still more than a touch of modernity, with an available 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system and 7-inch customizable display between the retro-inspired speedometer and tachometer. For better safety, the Challenger is also now available with forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross path detection. Stability control and electric power steering are standard across all models too.

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.
