2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Slt Crew Cab Pickup 4-door 5.9l on 2040-cars

Year:2004 Mileage:249000
Location:

Baker, Louisiana, United States

Baker, Louisiana, United States

I am selling my 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 SLT Diesel Pickup. I bought this truck new and am the only owner, so I know the entire history. If you have any questions, just ask. Here are the basics:

Year 2004 
Single wheel 3500 (looks like 2500)
248,000 miles. Daily driver, so will have around 249,000 by the time the auction is over.
2wd
4 door
Black 
Automatic transmission rebuilt at 234,000
3:73 rear end 
5.9L HO Cummins engine
2-5/16 5th wheel ball
Spray in bed liner
6 way plug for trailer lights
New Michelin tires ($1000) - less than 5,000 miles
non-smoker
Great mileage. 18+ mpg to and from work. 21+ on highway.

Here are the negatives: Truck has a dent under the left rear tail light from jack-knifing a trailer. Cruise control works on flat ground, but kicks out on hills and won't come back on until the truck is restarted. I think it is not holding a vacuum, but I haven't been able to track down the leak. The driver side visor won't stay all the way up. The vents make noise on the passenger side floorboard when turning the heater on. 

Positives: I have never had any major mechanical trouble with the truck at all. No injector issues, oil leaks, computer issues, etc. It has been very dependable. I would not hesitate to drive it cross country. Oil has been changed every 5,000 miles. I have done maintenance myself on brakes, rotors, shocks, belts, etc. on an as needed basis. The interior is very clean compared to most of the Dodge interiors I have seen from this generation. The seat is not torn from getting in and out, no cracks on the dash, and the armrest doesn't have a hole in it. 

And the best part of all is that the truck is converted to run on diesel or veggie oil with a system that I bought from Golden Fuel Systems. The system was installed at 117,000 miles. I have an auxiliary fuel tank that is about 60 gallons to hold the oil. There is a heat exchanger in the tank plumbed to the water pump that circulates antifreeze to warm up the oil. Once it's up to operating temperature, flip the switch and burn straight vegetable oil. The system includes a Racor filter, auxiliary fuel pump, auxiliary fuel gauge, and fuel pressure gauge to monitor when the filters need to be changed. When I first converted I had trouble with the stock fuel lift pump, so it now has a heavy duty FASS pump. I will include the collection pump and storage barrels with the sale and if you are local I can try to hook you up with the place where I currently get my oil from. The system has worked great for me and I estimate I have saved over $10k in fuel costs using it. 

I am only selling because I will be moving to snow country soon and will need a 4 wheel drive. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 225-two 7 eight - one 2 three 2.

2013 Dodge Charger AWD Sport

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

We won't beat around the bush: The all-wheel-drive Dodge Charger is not a brand new car. This generation launched in 2011, AWD models and all. But for 2013, Chrysler has added an optional sport package to the AWD model, available with both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 or the sweet, sweet 5.7-liter Hemi V8. The upgrades for this new sport pack are mainly cosmetic; a gloss black grille, new 19-inch alloy wheels and body-colored rear spoiler make up the list of exterior changes. Inside, there are new sport seats and paddle shifters, and the eight-speed automatic transmission has been reflashed for better performance.
But because vehicles like the Dodge Charger mainly stick out in our minds as being rear-drive bruisers, Chrysler wanted to give us the opportunity to test out the LX platform's foul-weather prowess. And perhaps no place more appropriate to test such a system was way up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the dead of winter.
Driving Notes

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with '600-plus horsepower' officially unveiled [w/video]

Tue, 20 May 2014

Dodge has officially unveiled the most powerful vehicle to ever wear the Challenger name - the SRT Hellcat - complete with over 600 horsepower courtesy of a supercharged, 6.2-liter Hemi V8. It will be offered alongside the 485-hp Challenger SRT.
The new, force-induced V8 isn't just the most powerful ever fitted to the Challenger, it's the most powerful eight-cylinder Chrysler Group has ever built. Power figures aren't finalized, so expect to see "over 600 hp" bandied about quite a lot. That fury will be channeled through either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic. Yes, over 600 ponies through an eight-speed auto. So far, the only vehicle we know of that delivers more output through that many gears is the as-yet untested Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Sadly, we don't have performance metrics just yet, although if this thing can't crack four seconds to 60 miles per hour, we'll be pretty surprised.
As is the theme nowadays, the 2015 Challenger SRT features a number of driving modes, governing power output, shift speeds for the 8AT, steering effort, traction control settings and suspension settings. There are three pre-programmed options - Default, Sport and Track - and a Custom mode that allows drivers to mix and match to their heart's content.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
