This is like parting with an old friend. My family just can not fit in this any more for extended trips, so it has been replaced by a new crew cab diesel.


2000 Dodge Ram 2500 3/4 ton Diesel Quad cab long bed 4 wheel drive. NO RESERVE! Starts at $200 and high bid will own this. I also have it listed locally so bid to win.

I bought this new on the lot in October of 1999. If I remember correctly it had just under 30 miles on it.

As of today it has 413,546 miles and will have a few more by the time the auction is over.

I have regularly changed the oil and run Delo in this from the first oil change. The only time it has had anything different is when I was in Alabama a few months ago and I had to get an oil change and they used Rotella. When I was back home it was time to change the oil again, so it is back on Delo.

I would not hesitate to get in this truck and drive it across the country without fear of being stranded. Even though it is a high mileage truck it still performs like it did when I bought it.

I have pulled car trailers with this, probably about 1/2 its life. I use as my daily driver.

I don't have a heavy foot and I think that is reflected in the fact that most of the equipment on the truck is from the factory. I also never put a chip in it or changed the turbo dump gate pressure.

It has the original turbo, never removed or rebuilt. I have never had to have the engine opened up for anything. It is still Cummins factory sealed. 

You can see the overall condition of the truck in the pictures. No major accidents, but I did back into a cable spool on the passenger door a few years ago. Everything still worked, so I never looked for a replacement door.

I have hauled many, many objects in the bed. You can see that there is paint missing, but the floor mat protected the floor of the bed from damage. Also on the bed rails, the clear coat is starting to peel. I think that if you were to put a spray in liner in the bed and wrap it over the top rails, that would take care of that problem.

The truck is on its 3rd transmission. The first being replaced at about 120,000 and the 2nd going at 196,000. Since I have had this transmission in the truck I have changed the fluid every 30,000 and it seems to be making a huge difference. It is just about time for it to be serviced, another 8,000 or so miles.

I have also regularly changed the gear oil in the front and rear differentials and transfer case. It is about time for that as well.

I replace the stock 16 inch rims and tires with a set of 17 inch rims and tires that were take offs from a 2005 model. Since then I have just been getting new rubber. The last set of Michelins I put on the truck went almost 93,000 miles. The guys at Costco were amazed. The rims have NO curb rash or damage. They are in great condition. The tires have about 15,000 miles on them. I put them on before I went to New Mexico and back and then did a 7,000 mile road trip a few weeks later. 

I put a new radiator in it 3 years ago as the old one had started to weep where the plastic was getting brittle.

I have also been through 3 fuel lift pumps and 3 fuel injection pumps. The last one on my dime. The first 2 failed under warranty as did the first 2 fuel lift pumps. Now it has an up dated lift pump with more volume and pressure, and that seems to have cured the problem with the fuel injection pump. I also run a fuel additive and have a low fuel pressure warning light.

The trip computer/fuel meter/temperature overhead has been acting up lately and may or may not work.

At about 365,000 I had to replace the original alternator while I was on the road. 

There are various areas of the drive train that are weeping oil. There are no big leaks. The engine oil does not lose more than 1/2 a quart from from oil change to oil change. I don't think it is burning it. I think that it is just weeping.

About 345,000 I had the rear transmission seals (the shop does a modification to the tail piece and puts in 2 seals for longevity) replaced as well as the transfer case input seal.

The cruise control works as it should.

I replace the heater blower motor earlier this year as the old one died.

It has the original u-joints. They have been well taken care of and greased every oil change.

The block heater was replaced about 18 months ago. I followed the recommended usage and plugged the truck in when the temperature was below 50 degrees.

I always allowed the engine a "cooling off" period after more than a half hour or so in the freeway. When I travel I usually did not shut off the engine until I reached my destination. I kept the door remote in my pocket and just had the ignition key for the truck to run. There were times when the engine was not shut down for 48 hours or more depending on weather and where I was going. I have had to sleep in the truck more than once as I could not find a hotel room. I left it running for heat or cooling. Never had a problem.

I have used the 4 wheel drive feature many times over the years. Either for snow or just to pull someone out of a ditch. 4 low has amazing torque and pulling power.

It has 2 newer batteries. About a year and a half old. I also replaced all 4 of the battery hold down bolts, dealer only item @ $18/each!! And that was after talking the parts guy down on the price from $31. He agreed that was a ridiculous price.

That should be most of the important stuff, and some less so, that you need to know about the truck.

The Kelly Blue Book value on this truck is;

  • Excellent 

    $11,137
  • Very Good 

    $10,687
  • Good 

    $10,337
  • Fair 

    $8,962

I would rate this as Fair to Good

The good;

Get in and drive it. I have been driving it for almost 14 years and I would drive it for another 14 if my kids still fit in the back seat
Near new tires, almost $1000 worth of Michelins
Clear Clean title no accidents
Cummins 24 valve turbo diesel engine If you don't have a heavy foot you can get 20-22mpg empty and 15-18 with a trailer. I followed a friend for a little over 150 miles while he was driving a car with a top speed of 50 mph and I got 39 miles per gallon. Too bad I don't drive THAT slow every day
NO rust

The not-so-good;
Dash is cracked and broken
Driver seat is worn
Passenger door is dented
I think that after more than 400,000 miles the original shocks may need to be replaced. I have never had an alignment done on the truck either, as the tires have always worn even.
Typical 2000 Dodge "sloppy" steering. There is some play in the steering. I just got used to it.

Also comes with a small dowry of new/used parts
New A/C compressor-I thought that the old one was going out, but it isn't. The condenser coils were plugged with road grime and bugs. All the radiators need to be cleaned of excess bug guts from time to time
New set of Bosch front brake pads
Used license plate illumination light assemblies
New alternator plug. The old one still works, but the retaining clip broke. I have not had a problem with it falling out, but I bought the new one just in case $60!!


Any questions or if you want to talk to me, email me through eBay and I will call you or send you my number and you can call me.

Mopar '15 performance kit now available for Dodge Charger R/T

Tue, Jun 9 2015

Dodge is releasing a new Mopar performance kit for the 2015 Charger R/T sedan, offering up just 50 examples of the dealer-installed upgrade package. Only a select few dealers will sell the kit, and they'll do so at a price of $3,550. As per usual, the Mopar kit makes both performance and aesthetic changes. For the 5.7-liter Hemi V8, upgrades include the Stage 1 Scat Pack kit, which adds a cat-back exhaust and cold-air intake, good for 18 additional horsepower and 18 more pound-feet of torque. There's also a new strut tower brace and a "premium fuel powertrain control module." Aesthetic changes are remarkably simple, with matte black body-side decals being the only notable addition to the exterior. In the cabin, there's a serialized dash plaque and new door sill plates. This is the sixth Mopar special edition since 2009. If you wish to join this fairly exclusive fraternity of Dodge owners, dealers are currently accepting orders, with deliveries slated to start later this month. Scroll down for the official press release from Dodge.

GTC deliveries take Rauh collection up to 79 Vipers [w/video]

Mon, Jul 27 2015

How many Vipers is enough? One of the ten-cylinder supercars might be too much machine for most drivers to handle, but not for Wayne and D'Ann Rauh. The Texas couple already own 77 of Dodge's flagship model. And now they've taken delivery of two more. At the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit on Friday, the Rauhs received the keys to a pair of Dodge Viper GTCs, customized through the automaker's "1 of 1" customization program. The program allows owners to spec their Viper just the way they want it, with 50 million unique combinations. For their 78th and 79th additions, the Rauhs ordered one decked out in brown with black stripes for Wayne, the other in purple with white for D'Ann, to whom the majority of the collection belongs. Of course, both come equipped with an 8.4-liter V10 driving 645 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. The couple will add the pair to their collection in Arp, TX, a town on the outskirts of Tyler, located between Dallas and Shreveport. The Rauh's garage already includes the last of the previous-generation Vipers decked out in two-tone gold finish. eGarage profiled the couple two years ago when their collection numbered "only" 65, and we have no doubt that number will only continue to grow as long as Dodge keeps building the legendary super-snake.

Texas Dodge Viper Enthusiasts Receive Keys to Two New Customized '1 of 1' Dodge Viper GTC Models, Now Owners of 79 Vipers Total July 24, 2015 , Detroit - Dodge Viper owners Wayne and D'Ann Rauh elevate Viper Nation enthusiasm to a whole new level. On Friday, July 24, the couple visited the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit to receive keys to not one, but two new customized "1 of 1" Dodge Viper GTC models, making them proud owners of a total of 79 Dodge Vipers. Through the new Viper "1 of 1" customization program, owners can create their very own one-of-a-kind Snake. No two customers can order the same configuration, including color, in the same model year. With the introduction of matte-finish exterior paint, the 2016 Viper is now offered in more than 50 million unique build configurations, made up from the more than 16,000 unique paint color options and more than 48,000 unique stripe combinations.

Dodge to sell off first Challenger SRT Hellcat for charity

Sun, 27 Jul 2014


Want to get your hands on a new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and can't wait to be the first to get one? Las Vegas will be the place to be on September 27. That's where Barrett-Jackson will auction off the very first example. And you'd better bring your checkbook, because the bidding is sure to be fierce with all the proceeds going to charity.
The supercharged Challenger with VIN 0001 has been hand-painted in Stryker Red (usually reserved for the Viper) and features special badging, documentation and accompanying memorabilia - not to mention, of course, that 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8. The car will be on display this weekend as well at Barrett-Jackson's Hot August Nights auction in Reno.
