Up for sale is my own 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT (4WD). This truck is the Megacab version, and is equipped with a 5.9HO Cummins diesel, and automatic transmission with overdrive. This truck is in excellent shape inside and out. I am the second owner of this truck (I purchased it in 2007 with only 11,500 miles on it) and I intended on keeping it for as long as I needed a truck this capable. I've been simplifying my life here lately and have been getting rid of the toys that I have that don't use as much as I use to. This truck was originally purchased to haul my one-ton TJ (rockcrawler) around the East Coast to various wheeling areas. Now that I've sold the Jeep and the car trailer, I just don't want to see this truck sitting unused for weeks at a time.
Factory Options:
- SLT Package
- Tow Package
- Power Windows
- Power Door Locks
- Power Rear Sliding Glass
- Fold down rear seats
- Reclining Rear seats
- ABS
- Driver/Passenger Airbags
- Keyless Entry
- Forged Wheels
- Michelin Tires
Owner Added Options:
- Amsoil Bypass Oil Filtration System (uses OEM Filter location and an additional location on Driver's side of the motor). One of the best oil filtration systems on the market
- Glacier Diesel Performance Fuel Filter System (OEM filter remains intact, adds an additional filter element between stock fuel filter and CP3 pump) Protects fuel injectors from debris; filters smaller containment particles than a stock filter.
- Two "New" Diehard Platinum AGM batteries (same manufacturer that builds Odyssey Batteries)
- Battery Mender AGM Automatic float charger wired into battery charging system.
- Autometer Gauges installed into Triple-Gauge Pod (Pyro, Trans, and Boost) Factory Match Gauges, LED back lit, with standalone dimmer
- Prodigy Brake Controller
- Uniden Bearcat CB (If you tow a lot in the middle of nowhere, this becomes an essential item when caravanning). Easily removed if not wanted.
- Tinted Windows (Professionally installed, high-end film) Tint matches factory tinted rear-windows.
- Cover Craft Seat Covers (factory seats in excellent condition, no known tears, stains or spills) A great set of seat covers. I will remove the seat covers for photos if it is a deal breaker. They are not the easiest to take off and on, but I can assure you the factory seats are in great condition. I take care of my vehicles.
- Weathertech Floor mats.
- Firestone riderite air bags.
- B&W Turn-over gooseneck ball mount in bed
- Bilstein Mono-tube Shocks
- Mopar one-piece aluminum driveshaft (bought straight from the dealer) Still have two-piece driveshaft with carrier bearing, if so desired.
- Line-X spray in bed liner
- Weather Tech Toolbox, Line-X'd inside and out.
- Geno's Garage Muffler Delete (Gives the truck a deep sound, reduces EGTs, and thanks to the Megacab's factory resonator, no drone either)
Maintained Items:
- Oil Changed every 7,500 miles with Amsoil Synthetic. (Even though not required, I change out both the Bypass Filter, and the OEM filter at each change)
- Fuel Filter changed every 7,500 miles. (both stock filter and Aftermarket Fleetguard filter, even though the fleetguard filter is rated for 15,000 miles)
- Coolant factory flushed and exchanged as recommended by Dodge (every 5 years or 60,000 miles)
- Transmission Fluid and Filter changed. Mopar synthetic fluid and Mopar Filter
- Front and Rear Differential Fluid Changed every 15,000 miles (Always replaced with full-synthetic)
- Transfercase fluid serviced at 60,000 miles.
- Tires have good tread and no repairs
- Bilstein Shocks added
- Underside of truck coated with Boeshield T-9 every year for Rust prevention. No Rust issues, just used as a preventative.
- Truck is professionally detailed every three-months (Washed, Clayed, polish, wax, and sealed). Paint is in excellent condition. Few light scratches and road chips here and there from 6-years of light use. This was by no means a work-truck, and was always treated with respect.
This truck is truly part of the family, and quite frankly I'm still a little torn on selling it. I've really had no big issues with this truck. She drives straight down the road; no vibrations, no squeaks, no rattles. She runs great, she pulls well, and is really a fantastic truck. Again, if I had more of a use for it, I'd have no problem keeping it. However, I have no trailers to pull anymore, and my position in the fire service affords me a take-home vehicle, which results in this truck just sitting wanting to be used. If you've been around vehicles as much as I have, you know the worst thing that can happen to a boat/car/truck/airplane is for it to sit unused or to simply rarely use it. The truck has 74,000 miles and has never been flogged, abused or altered in any detrimental way. Every modification that was made to it was to increase life expectancy, not decrease it. This truck has not "rolled coal", has not seen any mud, and frankly has not even spun a tire in it's entire existence with me. Again, this is a vehicle I intended keeping for the long haul, and I really do care about keeping up with maintenance items. I've always been a firm believer in taking care of your equipment and it will take care of you ( I am in the fire-service after all).
I will be glad to answer any questions that you may have as I've been through this truck from one end to the other. You may find better "deals" from some of the car dealers on here, but to them these trucks are just another item they've got to shine up and sling on to the next guy. They don't really care about what they're selling you. I can tell you that I could sell this truck to my best friend, and there wouldn't ever be a cross word said about this truck years down the road.
This is a vehicle that holds its value, and rightfully so due to the 5.9HO Cummins motor (last year of the pre-emission diesels).
Kelly Blue Book Values this truck for Private Party Value at
$34,234 in Excellent Condition
$33,434 in Very Good Condition
$32,534 in Good Condition
$29,834 in Fair Condition
I also know the dealer Black Book value, as well as the general bank loan value of the truck, and I believe that the bidding for this truck will be right in line for its condition. This truck will sell to the general public for what the dealership will give me as a trade-in. That is a great deal for this truck in this condition.
I will assist with shipping in anyway that I can. Be advised that the truck will not leave my possession until payment in full has been made. That means the check clears and posts, or the cash is counted out in my hand. I have a free and clear South Carolina title in my name. Good luck and happy bidding. If you have a feedback score of less than 5, or if I feel uncomfortable in the slightest way about your profile or your history I will cancel your bid.

Dodge Viper saved from crusher by students, but will it last?
Tue, 16 Sep 2014The saga of the Washington state community college hoping to keep its allegedly pre-production Dodge Viper out of the maw of the crusher is going strong. Not only does the school still have the car, but there's a chance that the college might even get to keep it.
The whole situation flared up in March when the South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, WA, received a notice from Chrysler Group that requested that the school's Viper be destroyed. The automaker had loaned the muscle car to it about a decade ago to use for educational purposes in its auto tech classes. With the Dodge growing long in the tooth, "it is unlikely that these vehicles offer any educational value to students," the company said in its press release on the matter.
However, the college balked at destroying its Viper, despite the fact it had signed a contract with Chrysler Group to do so. The school further claimed that its car was incredibly special because it was a pre-production example and just the fourth one made back in 1992. Although, as we pointed out at the time, the photos of the school's vehicle showed a coupe that looked like a newer Viper GTS.
Jay Leno drives a 1970 Dodge Charger with 1,650 horsepower
Tue, Feb 23 2016When Jay Leno says a vehicle might have too much horsepower, he's got our attention piqued. That's exactly what he thinks about the 1970 Dodge Charger Tantrum from Wisconsin-based SpeedKore Performance. While it still looks like a classic muscle car, the front end now features a carbon fiber hood and fenders. Underneath the lightweight parts, there's a twin-turbo, 9.0-liter Mercury Marine offshore boat racing engine with an astonishing 1,650 horsepower, or an only slightly less asinine 1,350 hp on pump gas. Jay is very mechanically intrigued by the Charger at the beginning of this video, and puts it on the lift to take a look at the underside. The engine plumbing is a thing of beauty, and the mill packs a massive radiator and intercooler to keep things running cool. Leno's drive in the Tantrum is especially interesting. The beastly engine is difficult to control, and anything above half throttle in most gears can spin the rear tires. The significant turbo lag also makes the power unpredictable. When Jay finally finds a straight piece of road, he puts the hammer down and rockets into the distance. And, of course, you know Jay's not going to end the video without some suitably smoking tires.

Chrysler Group moves around execs in wake of recent departure
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Chrysler is busy shuffling executives around in the wake of Ram head Fred Diaz's departure. The automaker has named Reid Bigland (pictured, right) as Diaz's successor in the role of president and CEO of Ram, though Bigland will continue his duties as the head of US sales and the president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Bigland first came to Chrysler in 2006 from Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation, so the guy knows a thing or two about trucks.
Meanwhile, Timothy Kuniskis will take over as president and CEO of Dodge. Previously, he served as the head of Fiat in North America and has been with Chrysler in one capacity or another since 1992. His old title now falls to Jason Stoicevich, who will also continue to work as the director of the automaker's California Business Center. Finally, Bruno Cattori will take over as the president and CEO of Chrysler Mexico.
Diaz left his position to take over as a divisional vice president of sales and marketing with Nissan. You can read the full press release on the Chrysler personnel changes below for more information.
