Ok, so I'm listing a 2003 ram quad cab ST/SLT. The vin is 3D7LU38673G848698. This has the Cummins with auto and four wheel drive. I acquired this truck in trade back in December 2011. I got it from the original owner with 298509 miles, it now has 332,150. This truck has a fisher minute mount 2 three plug plow set up, but no plow. I've never plowed with it, but it was used as plow and work truck up till I got it. This truck is a work plow truck and it was an east coast truck with plenty of road salt. This truck has dents, scratches, rust and rot. It needs work. This truck still runs and drives, 4x4 works, tires are matched set of firestones with 6/32nds left. I was still using it till last week and am now driving a shop truck.  I started driving a shop truck because the rear axle is making some noise and I don't have time for a project anymore. I have not opened the rear, but I am sure it is getting worn, so it's time for someone else to work on this. When I first got this truck, I had to put a new radiator, new transmission cooler, one new transmission line, right front caliper, new front axle u-joints, new front wheel bearings, new front rotors, one injector line and a new oil pan. The transfer case was rebuilt with new chain sprockets, bearings, and even new cases, but I didn't replace the selector switch so the dash light to show it being engaged does not work. I really will miss this old truck, but I can't justify keeping it. Last winter I think the heater core plugged and needs replaced. The windshield wiper module needs changed, the drivers side works but linkage to pass side does not. The air conditioner worked last year, but now I can hear a hissing by the air filter, so it will need new lines and some work. The cd player never worked. The drivers seat side is worn off, drivers arm rest is cracked, the drivers rocker is rotting thru and all the corners are starting to show rust. It is still drivable, but the check engine light is on 70% of the time. I was told it needed an FCA, but it has been very fun and dependable. I drove this back and forth to east coast a few times and towed all kinds of stuff with this truck.  The person I got it from said at 240000 he had transmission rebuilt, and the only thing he ever had to replace on the engine was one water pump--Love the Cummins! The bed is off another truck. The last owner said that one of his workers hooked a ditch with the plow and spun into a delivery truck, and had to get the bed, rear axle, and bumper changed. Also the truck was repainted some time ago. Anyway ask questions and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I recommend you come and look at it if you are interested.

NHTSA investigating 110,000 Ram 2500s and 3500s, one death alleged

Fri, 23 May 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation focusing on 110,000 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups from model years 2004 to 2006. One death has already been reported, according to NHTSA, due to a potential fault with the clutch interlocks on manual-transmission versions of the heavy duty pickup.
According to the report, these trucks can be started without depressing the clutch. There have been three reports so far, and as we mentioned above, one very sad incident seems to have resulted in the death of a child.
"One complaint involved an incident that occurred when a child was able to enter the vehicle and start the ignition without depressing the clutch. The vehicle then moved forward striking another child resulting in a fatality," NHTSA said in the investigation bulletin, which you can view below.

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T hits the Redline

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Dodge has added a bit of spice to its Hemi-powered Challenger for 2013, offering up this new Redline package that makes its official debut at the Chicago Auto Show. The R/T Redline builds on the Rallye Redline kit that was created for the V6 Challenger, and we like how these subtle changes add to the muscle coupe's already classic styling.
In addition to the black chrome 20-inch wheels with red accents, the R/T Redline adds subtle graphics along the beltline. Inside, cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission get a performance tuned exhaust that allows the engine to send a full 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. (Redline Challengers with the five-speed automatic produce 372 hp and 400 lb-ft.)
The Redline package retails for $1,995 and can be had on both Challenger R/T and R/T Plus models. Scroll down for the full press blast.
