Location:

Sterling Heights, Michigan, United States

Sterling Heights, Michigan, United States

For sale is a 2000 Dodge Ram Cummins Diesel Dually 4x2 Automatic.  This has been a great truck and time to sell it since have other trucks.  It has been a really good truck and am the second owner.  The previous owners had the truck in their fleet and used it primarily for going to automotive events.  They kept it indoors and maintained it.  It was maintained by a Cummins Technician for Chrysler in Auburn Hills, Mich.

The truck runs great and pulls nicely like nothing is behind it.  It pulls a 28' enclosed trailer with a car and parts in it with no problem.

The exterior color is burgundy/maroon. 

It does have the Cummins Diesel.  The mileage is 185,000 miles which a great deal was from travelling out of state and highway miles.  Always use AMSOIL for oil changes and constant changing oil at regular intervals.  The diesel does have a custom powder coated valve cover as shown.  There are no modifications to the engine...no aftermarket performance parts.

The trucks interior is nice.  The steering wheel does have wear on the top of the steering wheel.  The truck is equipped with radio controls on the steering wheel...change radio stations or increase or decrease volume on back of the steering wheel.  I do have a nice used replacement that will go with the truck or if I have time will change it out.  The truck does have dark gray leather. There are no significant tears.  The driver seat is worn but not bad.  Headliner does have some spots of dirt.  Dash has a crack.   Center console.  The rear bottom seat can fold up and does have the plastic tray storage.  Rear sliding glass and latch is still there to secure it from opening.  

New side tow mirrors that fold out when towing

It does have cruise control...really don't use it.

It does have A/C but sometime it gets stale when driving.

Heater works well and new thermostat installed.

The front and rear bumpers are new and have been replaced in 2012.  All of the bumper plastics were replace also.  The driver side gray bumper plastic is not a great fit from the aftermarket company.  Doesn't tuck well on the driver side into the black plastic. Nice shine on chrome!

New front chrome grille and emblem.

New headlights:  passenger and driver side headlights as side lamps are brand new. 

The truck did not have any damage when I got it.  I replaced the bumpers since they were dull,had some rust, and dents.  I replaced the headlight because they were foggy.

Also new front driving lamps in bumper.  Never connected them...will need to be connected.

There is a brand new CURT extra heavy duty hitch unlike the weak factory one.  It has the connection for the 8 plug and is in working condition.  It also does have a brake control.

It does have the fifth wheel rails in the bed, but no other attachments.  The bed is a 8 foot box and does have a Pendaliner brand plastic bed liner.

Replaced all four shocks with Monroe shocks winter 2013.

Replaced all Moog Ball ball joints upper and lower.  The ball joints were not cheap and Moog is a great brand.  Each ball joint cost over $100.00.  So $400.00 in ball joints were replaced early 2013.  I also replaced the rotors and front brakes.  The rear brakes were replaced last March 2012.   Unfortunately, while mechanic was installing the ball joints, the ABS wires were cut.  So this throw the brake light and ABS lights on the dash.  I think you can get the left and right wires for about $100.00 for the pair.

It does have a rear sway bar and it recently was powder coated black and new sway links were installed.

Bosch dual batteries.

The tires:  brand new 235 75 16 BF Goodrich Commercial T/A is currently under the truck as the spare tire.  I purchased it new in July 2013.  I used the spare which is a Goodyear on the driver side front.  I was waiting to get new tires, but decided to hold off since I am selling the truck.  The new 235 75 16 BF Goodrich Commercial T/A cost $175.00 new at Discount Tire.

Condition of tires:

Front Driver side left:  was spare tire Goodyear..tread like new
Front Passenger side Right:  purchased new earlier this year 235 75 16 BF Goodrich Commercial T/A.

Rear dually tire; all rear tires are 235 75 16 BF Goodrich Commercial T/A 

Driver side outer: needs replacement
Driver side inner:  less than half tread wear

Passenger side outer:  needs replacement
Passenger side inner:  less than half tread wear

The flaws: 

There are no major rust issues.  These trucks are know to have rust on the rockers and doors.  The driver side door does have rust on the bottom.  It is weak where the rust shows in the pictures.  The rocker is solid underneath and all other doors do not have any rust.  I was going to replace the driver side door, but never had the chance to find a driver side door.  The driver side doors are different on a quad cab than a regular cab or extended cab.

Rear tail gate three lights do not work.  It was working when last pulled the tail gate off.

 It does have scratches throughout truck.  However, there are no major dents.

The driver side rear quad door does not open.  I never opened it up to look at it.  Might be a loose rod or something.  That started to happen June of 2013.

Windshield does have a chip on the passenger side.

There is a long scratch groove.,..yellow of plastic showing on the driver side rear dually flare.

The map light console on roof, right passenger press light does not work.  Sometimes reading of location will be hard to read.

This truck is one of my favorites and describing it as best as I can.  If you have any questions, send a message through Ebay.  The truck can be seen in Sterling Heights, Michigan.  It is a suburb of Detroit.  You are welcome to inspect this vehicle at reasonable time.

Buyer must pay a deposit of $300.00 by PayPal within 48 hours of close of auction.  Remainder is due three days close of auction...no PayPal.  Cash is due upon pick up!

Dodge could enter Peugeot's Le Mans-bound 9x8 hypercar in IMSA races

Wed, Jul 21 2021

Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and PSA Group merged under the Stellantis umbrella in early 2021 to achieve economies of scale, and this benefit could surprisingly extend to racing. Executives are debating whether to give Dodge its own version of Peugeot's recently-unveiled 9x8 hypercar to race in America, according to a recent report. "While we only heard [the new rules] confirmed a week ago, it has certainly led to some very open discussion, not only about whether Peugeot might add races in the United States, but also about whether the spine of this car might have opportunities with other brands in the Stellantis Group. There are no conclusions yet, but there are now open discussions," affirmed Jean-Marc Finot, the Senior Vice President of Stellantis, in an interview with Racer. His comments refer to an agreement signed in July 2021 by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), and the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). They chose to align their technical regulations to let manufacturers compete in different events on both sides of the pond without going through the resource-consuming process of developing a specific car for each series. As of writing, the Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) and Le Mans Daytona h (LMDh) categories fall under the newly-announced common set of rules. On the surface, this means Peugeot could enter its 9X8 (pictured) in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship as soon as the 2023 season. While this is seemingly under consideration, Peugeot has little to gain from winning a major race in the United States. It hasn't sold cars here since 1991, and its long-mooted comeback was canned after PSA merged with FCA. Giving a variant of the 9X8 to Dodge is a more credible possibility, according to Racer. If not Dodge, then who else? Chrysler hasn't been linked to racing or performance for decades. Jeep is no stranger to performance vehicles, but IMSA would be pushing it. Ram is Ram, while Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati are rooted in Europe. The rest of the Stellantis brands (like Opel, Lancia, and Citroen) are not distributed in America. Nothing is official, and the publication stressed it's unclear whether Dodge will commit part- or full-time to the series (assuming the program receives the green light). Finot underlined the parallel car would use the 9X8's "spine," so don't expect to see a Peugeot hypercar with a Dodge emblem driving flat-out on the Sebring International Raceway.

Chrysler Group moves around execs in wake of recent departure

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

Chrysler 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.

Dodge Durango to stay classy with Ron Burgundy as spokesperson [w/video]

Sat, 05 Oct 2013

The upcoming 2014 Dodge Durango has a lot of things going for it, including its 290-horsepower V6 and 360-hp Hemi V8 engine options, an eight-speed automatic and aggressive looks. And now it will have Ron Burgundy, the fictional television news anchor played by comedian Will Ferrell, as a spokesperson, Adweek reports. He follows in the footsteps of other non-fictional Chrysler brand spokespeople such as Eminem, Clint Eastwood and the late Paul Harvey.
Though the star of 2004's Anchorman and the upcoming Anchorman 2 is wildly popular, we're not sure we see a Dodge spokesperson in Burgundy. (Please, no womanizing or scotchy, scotch, scotch before test test drives). But at this point there's no turning back: Chrysler's chief marketing officer Olivier Francois previewed three ad spots at the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) Masters of Marketing conference in Phoenix on Friday, and says Chrysler has already filmed 68(!) Durango ads with the fictional newsman.
According to Adweek, one of the ads previewed had Burgundy highlighting the SUV's glovebox size, and in another he compared its horsepower to a white horse standing next to him. Will this help Dodge Durango sales improve? We can only wait and see. In the meantime, feel free to share your thoughts in Comments, and check out the trailer for Anchorman 2 below.
