Im selling my 2005 dodge ram 2500 quad cab slt. I bought this truck equipped with a hemi and it was tired. I decided the next best thing to do was to give her more power! I removed the engine and replaced it with a 150k mile 12v cummins from a 1997 pickup. behind that is a 47rh equipped with a heavy duty(not billet) torque converter with shift kit. before I installed the engine I replaced the timing cover seals, the tappet cover gasket, valve cover gaskets. unfortunately with this swap I could not get all the gauges to function, in the original cluster the only functional gauges are the speedo and fuel gauge. I installed an oil pressure gauge in the left heater vent and a triple pillar gauge pod with boost, egt, and fuel pressure(fuel pressure not hooked up). the a/c and cruise were also never reinstalled. other than the gauges the truck is great I have put 6k to 7k miles on it since the swap was completed, Don't get me wrong you may find some things that need to be tinkered with, remember it was a hemi! I drive it daily on a 80 mile round trip averaging around 18 to 19 mpg. IF your looking for a brand new truck,, this isn't it! it runs and looks great, fires up everytime!
also the digital shift indicator in the cluster is non functional as the 47rh has no way for me to make it read. also if you know anything about this transmission swap then you know there are 2 ways to make the overdrive and torque converter lockup function, I opted to use toggle switchs mounted to the left of the steering column below headlamp switch, overdrive at 40mph, and lockup at 50mph has been my rule of thumb.
in the last year ive owned this truck ive replaced the following with new parts! all tierods with updated steering , new steering box, new intermediate steering shaft, new steering box stabilizer, new balljoints, dual steering stabilizers, front and rear pads and rotors, new rear calipers, bilstein front shocks,
truck has 2'' leveling kit in front, 1'' block in rear, Kelly safari tsr 315-70-17 with almost 3/4 life left, and dick cepek rims
exhaust is a 4''turbo back no muffler, sounds badass.
body has its typical scratchs for a truck this age, there is a dent/tear by the right headlamp about 3inch long, a soft dent behind right fender flare, rust spot along passenger side of hood, rust spot about 6in long on top of passenger door, rear bumper has rust but is hard to tell its painted black,
I would not be scared to drive this truck anywere,
interior is pretty clean, could use a recon, there is a rip on the edge of driver seat which ive had seat covers on since I bought it,
transfer case is a 271d, driveshafts are freshly balanced and rear has new u joints,
body has 190k, cluster says 124k, engine has 150k and trans was said to have 97k when swapped,
any questions feel free to text me at 607-201-8520
but DONT text me and ask if a/c and cruise can be installed or if I can make the tach work, cuz I cant,.
this truck is driveable as I do drive it almost everyday!! it is not a piece of crap, don't assume that, its an awesome truck , work truck, project truck, or just drive it daily the way it is,
it passes ny inspection , but I DO NOT know it will pass inspection in other states. , no muffler, no cat, no computer,
here it gets inspected as a 3/4 ton truck which is safety only.

NHTSA investigating Chrysler for airbags, ignition switches
Wed, 18 Jun 2014Chrysler is being targeted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in a pair of actions that focus on over 1.2 million Jeeps, minivans and crossovers.
The first is a "preliminary investigation" that focuses on an airbag issue afflicting the Jeep Commander built in model years 2006 and 2007 and Grand Cherokee from 2005 to 2006. In total, 700,000 vehicles could potentially be affected. It's not entirely clear what the airbag issue is, with The Detroit Free Press simply stating that the restraint systems in the affected Jeeps may be "faulty."
The other investigation is what's called a "recall query" and it covers a problem that General Motors should be familiar with. In this case, there could be a problem with the ignition switches of 525,000 vehicles, ranging from 2008 to 2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans, to the 2008 to 2010 Dodge Journey crossover. Again, it's not entirely clear what sort of behavior prompted the 32 complaints that NHTSA has received on these vehicles.
Old vs. New: 2014 SRT Viper takes on upgraded 16-year-old Dodge Viper
Fri, 08 Feb 2013It's easy to play the "Would you rather have a New X or an Old Y with a bunch of upgrades?" game more often than we care to admit, but the crew at Car and Driver have taken bench racing to the next level with their latest video. In it, the magazine pits a brand-new 2014 SRT Viper against a highly modified 1997 Dodge Viper GTS. There are 16 years between the time this particular GTS rolled off the production line and when the new car bowed, but that doesn't mean the old snake's owners have been sitting on their hands.
Thanks to a spate of modifications, the GTS offers up a better power to weight ratio than the new machine, but is that enough to overcome the technological leap forward represented by the 2014 Viper? We won't spoil it for you. You'll just have to check out the full clip below for yourself.
Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
