Selling our 2003 Dodge Ram with the 5.9 Cummins High Output engine. This truck has the 48re transmission with the 305hp / 555ft-lbs TQ. I've personally owned this vehicle for a little over 2 years now and its been my daily driver as well as my heavy hauler. 95% of the miles on the truck are light duty unloaded daily driver miles, while the other 5% are pulling a 12k lb trailer. I have serviced the engine, transmission, brakes, and rear end regularly. The transmission got it's band adjustments along with a fluid exchange about 8,000 miles ago. The previous owner had kept an extensive service records and receipts and they are available for whoever is interested in buying this truck. This used truck is not perfect, but I will highlight the good and the bad below. I have 100% positive feedback here and have sold many vehicles and other things on eBay in the past. Bid with confidence and feel free to ask questions.
The Good:
1. Engine runs great - no smoke, leaks, serviced regularly, valves adjusted, runs flawlessly, never chipped!
2. Transmission shifts flawlessly - Fluid exchange, band adjustments, serviced properly and regularly, no leaks
3. Steering / front end - Very tight front end....Ball joints, tie-rods ends, and rack 'n' pinion all in great condition. Great steering feel!
4. Brakes - front brakes just replaced...rotors turned and new brake pads, flushed brake fluid, rear brakes have 80% pad left.....no squealing, pulsating, or pulling to either side.
5. Interior - No rips, stains, never smoked in. Dash is cracked, other than that, interior is in great shape.
6. Exterior - 7 out of 10. No large body damage, however, the body has the typical rock chips and some scratches here in there, but nothing major at all. Great looking truck!
7. Bed - Short Bed with spray in bedliner, no goose neck hitch or 5th wheel ever installed.
9. Tires - 75% tread left on Michelin ATX "E" rated tires
10. Gets 18-19mpg mixed driving, 20-22mpg hwy, 11-13mpg towing a 30ft enclosed trailer 12,000lbs @ 70mph
11. I installed an autometer trans temp gauge on a single A-Pillar pod to keep an eye on the trans temps...When pulling I have never seen anything over 190*.
The Bad:
1. Door power locks stopped working in 3 of 4 doors. Driver front door is only door that pwr door locks/keyless works
2. Heat/A/C vents don't change with selector knob. It seems to be stuck on the front vents / floor vents. Heat and A/C work great, just the selector doesnt seem to work.
3. Dash is badly cracked. Common for Dodge Trucks. However, there is a nice $50 custom fitted microsuede dash cover that I recently put on the dash...It does look really nice.
If you have any questions feel free to shoot me an email via the question section of this ad.

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
Dodge lets us drive 100-years' worth of history [w/videos]
Thu, 03 Jul 2014
A raft of important production models from the last hundred years were available for me to either drive or ride in.
Dodge is 100 years old this year. So, as happened on Ford's recent centennial, the 50-year birthday of the Porsche 911, and others, the company has an excuse to trot out the highlights of its history next to its upcoming model lineup, and declare that "these are the fruits of the Dodge Boys' tree whose roots have grown strong." Or something like that. Never so hampered by marketing skepticism that I'll pass up the opportunity to burn someone else's rubber, I was happy to drive out to Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills, MI - former grand estate of the Dodge family - to hear the spiel.
Dodge Viper to out-Hell the Hellcat with supercharged V10?
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The Viper wouldn't be the Viper if it wasn't the most powerful model under the Chrysler umbrella. But with the arrival of the Hellcat engine in the Dodge Charger and Challenger, the Viper has fallen behind in the bragging rights department: where the new supercharged V8 produces 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated V10 offers "only" 640 hp and 600 lb-ft - gargantuan output figures by almost any other standard, but crucially behind on the SRT power scale. Conner Avenue is going to have to do something about that.
Although the Hellcat's engine reportedly won't fit under the Viper's hood, SRT is now rumored to have another trick up its sleeve: supercharge the existing V10. According to the Pentastar performance enthusiasts at allpar.com, Chrysler has already taken delivery of the first such prototype engines so that it can begin the process of fitting it into an upgraded Viper.
The spooled ten-pot is tipped to produce around 800 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. More than that and the Viper's drivetrain, chassis and bodywork would have to be substantially reworked. Though beefier transmissions are available, fitting them would reportedly set off a domino-game of changes required to handle the added torque. Which may be something Chrysler would be prepared to do for the next-generation model, but in the meantime, 800 hp could prove enough to put the Viper back atop the Mopar performance ladder where it belongs, and give it an edge against the new Corvette Z06 to rekindle sales.
