As I write this listing, it "pains" me to have to do so.........but here we go: This is a 1996 Dodge Ram 3500 Club Cab Dually pickup with the rare 5.9L 12 valve cummins diesel engine and the 5 speed manual transmission. This truck has been in our family since the day it was purchased off the showroom floor in 1996 at Plainview Dodge in Plainview, Texas. My uncle first purchased it brand new and owned it for 3 years and put 29,680 miles on it.......then my grandpa bought it and has owned it until now and the mileage is 130, 848....... I told my grandpa years ago that if he ever wanted to get rid of this truck, that I wanted it........well, it just so happens that he and grandma have recently sold their rv camping trailer that they used this truck mainly for and no longer need the truck, so i figured that I was next in line to inherit this awesome pickup but the timing of all of this couldn't be worse!........I am older now, and after years of driving trucks over the road, etc, etc my poor old hip and left clutch leg has taken a beating and I can't drive a manual transmission nowadays without going thru alot of pain......so I can't use it now and this is the only reason that this truck is up for sale today! This rig has everything you want in a diesel pickup and more. Grandpa has taken excellent care of it over the years. It is set up to tow either a fifth-wheel trailer, a gooseneck trailer, or a bumper-pull trailer or anything else you can think of. It was always garaged with his camping trailer and his maintenance routine was second to none! (you look at the truck today, and its hard to believe that it is 18 years old !!!) I have included a CARFAX REPORT for you prospective buyers to show that it has never been wrecked, etc, etc and to show the true documented history of this pickup. It also comes with some extra's.......Reese 14k fifth wheel hitch mounted in pickup bed..........a full size locking diamond plate tool box mounted in pickup bed.............and a secondary exterior diesel fuel tank (45 gallons) that is mounted in pickup bed as well. This vehicle is ready to roll and can tow just about anything you have! ....It has 2 brand new batteries with 5yr warranty.... We had it professionally detailed, washed & waxed, and fresh oil change for the new owners and it can be driven anywhere! ......Here are some of the other specs and features: 5.9L I6 12 VALVE CUMMINS ENGINE, 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION NVG 4500, 2WD WITH DUAL REAR WHEELS, DANA REAR END, ABS BRAKES, POWER STEERING, POWER WINDOWS, POWER DOOR LOCKS, ENGINE BLOCK HEATER PLUG-IN, AM/FM CASSETTE STEREO SYSTEM, EXTRA 12V POWER OUTLETS, AFTERMARKET TRAILER BRAKE INSIDE CAB, TINTED WINDOWS AND VENTED REAR CAB WINDOWS, 40/20/40 SEAT GRAY CLOTH, REAR SEATING, 6 EXCELLENT CONDITION TIRES (80-90%) AND NEW SPARE TIRE AND JACK, EXTRA SET KEYS FOR TRUCK, TOOLBOX, ETC., ALL ORIGINAL HANDBOOKS, RECEIPTS, ETC FOR TRUCK, PROTECTIVE SPRAYED-IN BEDLINER, A 2ND SET OF STRAP ON TOW MIRRORS, CRUISE CONTROL, OVERHEAD COMPASS/TEMP CONSOLE, 35 GALLON STOCK FUEL TANK, CHROME DODGE WHEEL COVERS, CHROME “WESTIN” STEP BARS, ICE COLD A/C AND EXCELLENT HEATER, LIKE NEW DASH WITH CUSTOM DASH COVER (NO CRACKS OR DAMAGES AT ALL), Clear texas title, ......THIS IS A RUST-FREE TEXAS TRUCK AND IT HAS THE VERY POPULAR CUMMINS ENGINE THAT IS PRACTICALLY 'BULLETPROOF" AND IS KNOWN TO GET OVER 800,000 MILES OR MORE IF MAINTAINED PROPERLY !! ...PLUS THE ADDED BONUS OFHAVING A 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION !!.....(WITH THIS ONE ONLY HAVING 130,848 MILES......ITS BARELY BROKE IN !!) ( I’M SURE THERE’S MORE I’VE FORGOTTEN TO MENTION OR LIST) Now as you know, this is a "gently used "vehicle and is being sold as such, so if your looking for a brand new truck.........you better go get you one of them $65,000.00 rigs and don't waste your or my time.......but if you want a damn good well taken care of used truck and want to save yourself a ton of $$$$$..........then this truck is for you!......you won't be disappointed! A couple of other things before I close.......this truck is completely stock and the only modification that my grandpa did was he had cummins install a fuel cam plate on the truck a few years back in which it increased his horsepower from the stock 215hp to 330hp. (the original stock fuel plate is in the glovebox should new owner want to switch it back.......but i doubt you'd want to do that since it runs so damn good and has all the power you'll ever need!)........the paint and interior are all good and above average for a truck of this age......... there is a tiny rock chip in very bottom of windshield that was repaired by rock chip place so that it will not grow larger or get any worse, but it is hardly noticeable or in your sight of view.........there is a small area under passenger seat that has some minor carpet damage where I believe something was spilled at one time, but it is under the seat and not out in the open,it has a brand new texas inspection good thru 2015 and has a new registration to 2015.........i think that is everything I can think of about regarding this truck........any questions, please call or email me.........the truck is both being listed on ebay, craigslist, and advertised locally.......so we reserve the right to end auction or shut down the advertising at anytime should the right buyer arrive!.......good luck and contact me anytime day or night and check out the photos......they pretty much speak for themselves!......You may reach me at 806-557-4698 or 806-570-7797 or email: JVBIGDOG01@MSN.COM Also, this is a cash deal only!.........we are a private party- not a dealer....and we're not interested in any trades !!...........our asking price is $13,500.00 or best offer....Thank you and God Bless !!)

2013 Ram 1500 earns Truck of Texas honors

Tue, 23 Oct 2012

Auto writers around the country tend to specialize in different vehicles based on the trends of our respective home markets. The New England Motor Press Association, for example, presents an award every year for the best winter vehicle. With that in mind, it is fitting that the Texas Auto Writers Association doles out an annual truck award. This year, the TAWA "Truck of Texas" is the 2013 Ram 1500.
In a announcement from TAWA, the new Ram took top honors based in no small part on, "a new 3.6-liter V6 that boasts 42 percent more power, improved fuel economy, infotainment upgrades and available eight-speed automatic transmission and air suspension." And according to Ram CEO Fred Diaz, "Automotive reporters have reacted extremely favorably to the new 2013 Ram 1500, and our research tells us that resonates with truck buyers." The Ram 1500 unseated the previous Truck of Texas, the 2012 Ford F-150.
The Texas Auto Writers Association Truck Rodeo was also an occasion for journalists to award an SUV of Texas, and thankfully, the distinction is made between SUV and CUV. The Jeep Grand Cherokee took top honors in the SUV department, with TAWA pointing to models like the off-road-ready Trailhawk and feature-laden Overland Summit. It is the third consecutive year that the Grand Cherokee has achieved this accolade. The award for top crossover went to the 2013 Buick Enclave, which is in its first year of a new design. To read more on the Truck of Texas award and all the finalists, check out the press release below.

Chrysler and Hyundai join Pepsi and Coke as top Super Bowl spenders [w/ video]

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Super Bowl XLVIII is barely a week away, and some of the early ads are already leaking out. It's timely then that The Street has released rankings of the top five Super Bowl advertisers since 2009, showing Chrysler and Hyundai/Kia taking two of the spots with $131.7 million in cumulative spending.
Since 2010, the cost to air a 30-second Super Bowl ad has risen from $3 million in 2009 to about $4 million in 2014, and about a fifth of advertisers opt for a one-minute ad, which doubles costs. Last year, the ads brought in $292 million, and they have brought in roughly $2 billion since 2010.
Chrysler has spent $64.3 million since 2009 to make it the fourth highest spending company in the last five years. In that time, the company has rebranded itself as it emerged from bankruptcy with the Imported from Detroit ad campaign that premiered in 2011 and last year's God Made a Farmer Ram Trucks ad. Its 2012 Halftime in America sparked national debate about whether it was also a reference to the upcoming presidential election.

2016 Ram 3500 Heavy Duty now offers 900 lb-ft of torque

Mon, Jun 22 2015

After last year's bump to a massive 865 lb-ft of torque for its 2015 3500 Heavy Duty pickup, Ram certainly isn't taking a rest. The model already offers the best towing capacity and most torque in its class, but both figures are growing even higher for the 2016 model year. Now, customers that really need some grunt can order the Cummins 6.7-liter inline-six diesel in the 3500 with a staggering 900 pound-feet of torque and 385 horsepower. Ram claims that this huge figure is the most torque ever available in a mass production vehicle, and it tops the 2015 model by a healthy 35 lb-ft. The added grunt comes thanks to adjustments to the fuel delivery and the turbo's boost, and to better handle things, the rear axle gear now is held with 16 bolts, rather than 12. The tweaks also push the tow rating to an SAE J2807-certified 31,210 pounds, which is absolutely monumental. While not available with the 900 lb-ft version of the Cummins, the Ram 2500 also sees a tiny boost in its max tow rating. The trucks are now capable of hauling up to 17,980 lbs, versus 17,970 lbs last year. The 2016 Ram Heavy Duty trucks go into production in the third quarter and should start arriving at dealers during the fourth quarter of 2015. Prices for the 3500 start at $33,185 and $32,680 for the 2500, after the $1,195 destination charged, respectively. The company hasn't yet announced the cost for the 3500 with the 900 lb-ft Cummins diesel. 2016 Ram Heavy Duty Widens its Leadership Gap With a Triple-decker Presence: Best-in-class Power, Towing Capacity and Payload Capacity • 2016 Cummins 6.7-liter calibration hits a best-in-class 900 lb.-ft. of torque. The most torque ever offered in a mass-production vehicle • 2016 Ram 3500 crushes the competition with up to 31,210 pounds of SAE J2807-spec.
