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!

Junkyard 1983 Dodge Rampage has Franco-American roots
Mon, Jun 20 2016Lee Iacocca and the K-Cars get most of the credit for saving Chrysler after the company's 1979 bailout by the US government, but the success of the Simca-derived Omnirizon platform was a large, if overlooked, component of Chrysler's early-1980s resurgence. The Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon were sold in the United States for the 1978 through 1990 model years, and variants included the 1983-1987 Dodge Charger and the Rampage, this well-worn example of which I spotted in a Denver self-service wrecking yard last week. The early Omnirizons came with a Volkswagen-sourced 1.7-liter engine, but all of the Rampage pickups (and their near-identical Plymouth Scamp siblings) came from the factory with a 2.2-liter K-Car engine making 96 horses. This truck has a 4-speed manual transmission, which would have made it reasonably quick by Malaise Era standards. This one had plenty of body filler and rust, even before the crash that sent it on that final tow-truck ride to this place, so it wouldn't have been worth restoring. Still, we can hope that some of its parts will live on in other L-body trucks.

Ram, Jeep redesigns on hold, Alfa Romeo models may come sooner
Wed, Jun 3 2015Last summer, FCA outlined an ambitious five-year plan that sketched out the company's product intentions for each of its brands through the end of 2018. However, even the best strategies sometimes need tweaking. According to Reuters after speaking with unnamed people at auto suppliers, FCA is now possibly delaying at least a dozen projects in North America for a variety of reasons. From vehicle to vehicle, these postponements allegedly last anywhere from just a few months to over a year. The sources from the suppliers claim that in some cases these tweaks are for engineering and design changes. The next-gen Ram 1500 reportedly has among the shorter delays and is being pushed from mid-2017 to November 2017, according to Reuters. Also, the much-discussed future Jeep Wrangler is allegedly moving a little later to July 2017. Among the vehicles purportedly seeing longer delays, the next-gen Grand Cherokee could get pushed back about a year to 2018. That then forces the launch of the three-row, luxury Grand Wagoneer to be even further away. Jeep's upcoming C-segment CUV and the all-new Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger might also see postponements. The one brand allegedly seeing an accelerated plan is Alfa Romeo. Without going into detail, the sources from these suppliers claim that the Italian automaker is getting even more vehicles for its lineup and could get them even faster than planned. "Those plans need to be flexible and fluid, with the potential to add some vehicles, pull some forward and extend the life cycle of others," FCA said to Reuters about all of these allegations. "We look at these programs on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis." Investment in the auto industry has been a major topic for FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne as of late. He believes consolidation is necessary so that companies aren't burning money on the same projects.

2020 Colorado Winter Driver's Notes | Behind the Wheel S02 // E12
Mon, Apr 6 20202020 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 I’ve had bad luck with SUVs this winter. Especially performance ones. First, I got a 2019 Range Rover Sport SVR delivered on summers right as two feet of snow fell, rendering it undriveable. Then, coronavirus cancelled Easter Jeep Safari as well as my trip out to Moab in the 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Diesel. Thankfully, when this 469 horsepower luxury mall crawler was dropped off, the sun shone down and the snow (mostly) held off. The first thing that I noticed was there were a few blank buttons throughout the cabin, something that you may see in an entry model vehicle, but IÂ’m not accustomed to seeing in an AMG. Not a great look for a vehicle with an $80,000 price tag. Thankfully that was where the disappointment ended. As soon as you press the start button, the engine fires up and the exhaust note is incredible. Hopping on the highway ramp near my house, I floored it, and the biturbo V8 had me pressed back into the driver's seat, and this wasnÂ’t even the S version that our staff drove last year. Inside and out, the GLC 63 was everything youÂ’d expect from Mercedes. The interior was immaculate, and while the infotainment wheel and touch pad may take some getting used to for someone who isnÂ’t familiar, by now I have it down so that I can use it without looking. And while the V8 left me smiling ear to ear, I was most impressed by the amount of useable interior space there is. I happened to be moving at the time of this review and while all of my large furniture was shoved into the back of a moving van, I was able to fit almost everything else in the back of the GLC. 2019 and 2020 Fiat 500X Trekking ItÂ’s hard to say goodbye to an AMG and then turn around and be excited when a Fiat 500X pulls in your driveway (I know, I know, automotive journalist problems). That being said, when the red Fiat pulled up, I found myself admiring it. I am very familiar with the 500X. Back in 2016 Autoblog had one for a year as our long term test vehicle. I drove that car everywhere, multiple trips up north in Michigan, and even tracked it at Gingerman Raceway for a few laps before the brakes started smoking. The 2019 model I had in my driveway and the 2020 model I drove in the snow up in the mountains feel very similar to that car. The interior is stylish and surprisingly roomy. The greenhouse is airy.
