For sale is a 2000 Dodge Ram Cummins Diesel Dually 4x2 Automatic.  This has been a great truck and time to sell it since have other trucks.  It has been a really good truck and am the second owner.  The previous owners had the truck in their fleet and used it primarily for going to automotive events.  They kept it indoors and maintained it.  It was maintained by a Cummins Technician for Chrysler in Auburn Hills, Mich.

The truck runs great and pulls nicely like nothing is behind it.  It pulls a 28' enclosed trailer with a car and parts in it with no problem.

The exterior color is burgundy/maroon. 

It does have the Cummins Diesel.  The mileage is 185,000 miles which a great deal was from travelling out of state and highway miles.  Always use AMSOIL for oil changes and constant changing oil at regular intervals.  The diesel does have a custom powder coated valve cover as shown.  There are no modifications to the engine...no aftermarket performance parts.

The trucks interior is nice.  The steering wheel does have wear on the top of the steering wheel.  The truck is equipped with radio controls on the steering wheel...change radio stations or increase or decrease volume on back of the steering wheel.  I do have a nice used replacement that will go with the truck or if I have time will change it out.  The truck does have dark gray leather. There are no significant tears.  The driver seat is worn but not bad.  Headliner does have some spots of dirt.  Dash has a crack.   Center console.  The rear bottom seat can fold up and does have the plastic tray storage.  Rear sliding glass and latch is still there to secure it from opening.  

New side tow mirrors that fold out when towing

It does have cruise control...really don't use it.

It does have A/C but sometime it gets stale when driving.

Heater works well and new thermostat installed.

The front and rear bumpers are new and have been replaced in 2012.  All of the bumper plastics were replace also.  The driver side gray bumper plastic is not a great fit from the aftermarket company.  Doesn't tuck well on the driver side into the black plastic. Nice shine on chrome!

New front chrome grille and emblem.

New headlights:  passenger and driver side headlights as side lamps are brand new. 

The truck did not have any damage when I got it.  I replaced the bumpers since they were dull,had some rust, and dents.  I replaced the headlight because they were foggy.

Also new front driving lamps in bumper.  Never connected them...will need to be connected.

There is a brand new CURT extra heavy duty hitch unlike the weak factory one.  It has the connection for the 8 plug and is in working condition.  It also does have a brake control.

It does have the fifth wheel rails in the bed, but no other attachments.  The bed is a 8 foot box and does have a Pendaliner brand plastic bed liner.

Replaced all four shocks with Monroe shocks winter 2013.

Replaced all Moog Ball ball joints upper and lower.  The ball joints were not cheap and Moog is a great brand.  Each ball joint cost over $100.00.  So $400.00 in ball joints were replaced early 2013.  I also replaced the rotors and front brakes.  The rear brakes were replaced last March 2012.   Unfortunately, while mechanic was installing the ball joints, the ABS wires were cut.  So this throw the brake light and ABS lights on the dash.  I think you can get the left and right wires for about $100.00 for the pair.

It does have a rear sway bar and it recently was powder coated black and new sway links were installed.

Bosch dual batteries.

The tires:  brand new 235 75 16 BF Goodrich Commercial T/A is currently under the truck as the spare tire.  I purchased it new in July 2013.  I used the spare which is a Goodyear on the driver side front.  I was waiting to get new tires, but decided to hold off since I am selling the truck.  The new 235 75 16 BF Goodrich Commercial T/A cost $175.00 new at Discount Tire.

Condition of tires:

Front Driver side left:  was spare tire Goodyear..tread like new
Front Passenger side Right:  purchased new earlier this year 235 75 16 BF Goodrich Commercial T/A.

Rear dually tire; all rear tires are 235 75 16 BF Goodrich Commercial T/A 

Driver side outer: needs replacement
Driver side inner:  less than half tread wear

Passenger side outer:  needs replacement
Passenger side inner:  less than half tread wear

The flaws: 

There are no major rust issues.  These trucks are know to have rust on the rockers and doors.  The driver side door does have rust on the bottom.  It is weak where the rust shows in the pictures.  The rocker is solid underneath and all other doors do not have any rust.  I was going to replace the driver side door, but never had the chance to find a driver side door.  The driver side doors are different on a quad cab than a regular cab or extended cab.

Rear tail gate three lights do not work.  It was working when last pulled the tail gate off.

 It does have scratches throughout truck.  However, there are no major dents.

The driver side rear quad door does not open.  I never opened it up to look at it.  Might be a loose rod or something.  That started to happen June of 2013.

Windshield does have a chip on the passenger side.

There is a long scratch groove.,..yellow of plastic showing on the driver side rear dually flare.

The map light console on roof, right passenger press light does not work.  Sometimes reading of location will be hard to read.

This truck is one of my favorites and describing it as best as I can.  If you have any questions, send a message through Ebay.  The truck can be seen in Sterling Heights, Michigan.  It is a suburb of Detroit.  You are welcome to inspect this vehicle at reasonable time.

Buyer must pay a deposit of $300.00 by PayPal within 48 hours of close of auction.  Remainder is due three days close of auction...no PayPal.  Cash is due upon pick up!

Chrysler, Nissan minivans earn 'dire' crash test results, says IIHS [w/video]

Fri, Nov 21 2014

First introduced in 2012, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's small-overlap frontal crash test has become the bane of many auto engineers' existence. It's a particularly steep design challenge because it forces just 25 percent of a vehicle's front end to take the brunt of a 40-mile-per-hour impact. The newly released results of four family-minded minivans underscore just how difficult the crash test is: only one scored an Acceptable rating, and the other three did very poorly. The 2008-2015 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan, plus the 2011-2015 Nissan Quest, all received Poor ratings in the test, the IIHS' lowest possible score. The three of them showed significant crash intrusion into the driver's area. The dummy in the Nissan actually had to be cut out of the vehicle, with an IIHS spokesperson remarking, "the structure collapsed like a house of cards." In the Fiat Chrysler Automobile vans, the steering wheels moved out of the way, making the airbag less effective and letting the driver's head hit the dashboard. While it was not actually crashed, the agency is also giving the 2009-12 Volkswagen Routan a Poor score because it shares a structure with the FCA models. The newly released results of four minivans underscore just how difficult the small-offset crash test is. The refreshed 2015 Toyota Sienna (shown), conversely, earned an Acceptable rating and is also a Top Safety Pick+ because of its optional forward collision warning and automatic braking system. While the crash test dummy moved around during the impact more than the agency would have liked, sensors showed a low risk of injuries. The IIHS tested the Honda Odyssey last year, and it earned a Good overall score, the agency's best ranking. It's also a Top Safety Pick+ vehicle. The only member of the minivan segment left to test is the latest Kia Sedona, and the Institute is reportedly waiting a little longer for Kia to make changes to improve the model's performance. When reached for comment, Nissan spokesperson Steve Yaeger provided Autoblog with the following statement: "Nissan is committed to vehicle safety and believes that consumers should have information about crash protection so they can make educated buying decisions. Nissan is proud of the 2014 Quest's "good" rating in the IIHS front moderate overlap and side impact tests as well as a "good" head restraint rating.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.

NHTSA investigating 110,000 Ram 2500s and 3500s, one death alleged

Fri, 23 May 2014

The 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.
