Greetings Ebay Community,
I am auctioning off a 1998.5 Dodge Ram 24 valve Cummins 4x4 5 speed manual truck with an attached sleeper! This truck was altered by me for my specific needs. I am now changing careers and no longer require such a unique vehicle. I would like to explain to you my history with the vehicle so you understand the fabrication, modifications and the additions that have been made to the truck. I purchased the vehicle with 230,000 miles from a dealer in Kentucky. Originally the vehicle was an ordinary truck configured as a extended cab short bed. Here is where I began the transformation into the truck you see today. I stripped the vehicle down to the powertrain and frame rails. Once I did that, I started replacing all the following parts- front wheel bearings, rear wheel bearings, rear brakes (shoes, drums and hardware), Optima dry cell batteries, High torque starter, Grid Heater, front brakes (pads and rotors), brake lines, emergency brake cables, every steering linkage, ball joints, radiator, ac compressor, ac condensor, ac port lines, sealed oil pan, sealed timing cover, sealed vaccuum pump, sealed CAD, axle seals front and rear, output shaft seal, drained and filled all lubricated components to OEM standards, adjusted the rack (valve train), Rancho shocks (front and rear), steering dampener, valve cover gasket, oil cooler and gasket...I'm sure there are more but I cant recall all of them. As you can see from that list, I made this truck to run another stress free 200,000 miles. Now for a list of what was added- Standard cab, new vinyl floor, new windshield, Oil pan heater, CB radio, Radio speakers, Banks Exhaust Brake, fender flares, 315 Mickey Thompson ATZ (just put them on less than 5,000 miles ago), B and D hideaway gooseneck ball, American flag headliner, Tire chains, Custom Shifter knob, running boards w/led lights, Mid 70's Kenworth Sleeper w/led lights, chrome accents, aftermarket towing mirrors, Heavy duty bumper hitch, new sleeper insulation and abs plastic, new sleeper mattress and bedding, camo seat covers, LED stobe light, service body, 5" aussie cut stacks and full stainless exhaust from down pipe all the way through the stacks, tri pod pillar gauges (Pyro, Fuel Pressure, Trans Temp), camo steering wheel cover, Custom rear mud flaps, visor w/lights, front fender lights, Quadzilla tuner, cold air intake...again I'm sure I am not remembring everything as you can tell by the pictures, this is one unique vehicle.
Now to give you a description of how the truck runs and drives- This truck runs EXCELLENT! Just as a Cummins should. I run 5k between oil changes and it does not burn oil or leak oil (which is rare as most of you know). With all the steering compenents freshly replaced, the truck drives really nice, but I did not replace the actual steering box. So, you do get some play in the wheel. This is a characteristic for these trucks. Four wheel drive works as it should and you get a replacement set of cv joints. The clutch and synchros work as they should; no issues. All the lights on the truck and gauges in the dash work properly. This truck sounds beautiful and has that nice steady pull that Cummins is known to provide. A trully fun vehicle to drive around in.
I encourage you to ask questions and view the photos.
Note: Neither of the two vises on the rear of the truck go with the vehicle. If you want them, we can discuss that seperately.
Lastly, the vehicle is for sale locally and I do reserver the right to end the auction early.
Feel free to call- (651) 402-9276 ask for Clint
Thanks for taking the time to view my listing and good luck!

Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA
Tue, 08 Oct 2013The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.
NHTSA investigating 110,000 Ram 2500s and 3500s, one death alleged
Fri, 23 May 2014The 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.
2015 Dodge Charger darts into NY traffic
Thu, 17 Apr 2014Meet the refreshed 2015 Dodge Charger; notice anything different? You would have to be pretty farsighted to miss the sedan's new Dart-like nose, and it's likely going to be quite polarizing to the car's fans. Gone are the previous furrowed, aggressive headlights in favor of a wider, friendlier look.
While the more rounded headlights and narrower grille are going to be the first thing most people notice, Dodge claims its designers have made changes to nearly every panel on the Charger. The hood dips down deeper at the front, and the doors show off a more angled version of the car's shoulder blister. LED running lights and taillights are standard on all models, and SXT and RT trims get LED foglights. Even though the front might not be as intimidating, Dodge has hung onto the sedan's muscular stance with angular contours making up the rest of the redesign.
Under the hood is the same engine range you've come to know over recent years. Both the 5.7-liter V8 and the 3.6-liter V6 return for 2015, with the Hemi making 370 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque, and the standard Pentestar outputting 292 hp and 260 lb-ft. All models are now equipped with Chrysler's TorqueFlight eight-speed automatic as standard. Fuel economy for V8 Chargers is predicted at 16 miles per gallon city and 25 mpg highway, compared to 15 mpg / 25 mpg last year with a five-speed automatic. All models also come with electric power steering, and the axles are cast from aluminum to save weight.
