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!

2015 Dodge Viper price drops $15k for 2015

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

We recently saw updated specs and new trims of the 2015 Viper, but it looks like the folks at Dodge were saving the biggest surprise for last. Prices on all levels of the American sports car are seeing an immediate, across-the-board price cut of $15,000; even 2014 models still remaining on dealer lots.
The new MSRP for the 2015 Viper in its base SRT trim now starts at $84,995, and when the TA and GTS come to the lineup later next year, they start at $100,995 and $107,995, respectively. The move seems like a swing for the fences that might help to quell slow sales.
Obviously, current Viper owners might be somewhat peeved that their investment was just re-priced by the company. However, to assuage some of their concerns, Dodge is giving all fifth-gen owners a certificate worth $15,000 towards the purchase of a new one, which comes in addition to the price reduction.

Germany threatens to ban FCA vehicles over diesel emissions dispute

Tue, May 24 2016

Germany is threatening to ban sales of FCA products over diesel emissions. According to the newspaper Bild Am Sonntag, Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority found evidence of a so-called defeat device that shuts down certain emissions controls after running for 22 minutes. A standard diesel emissions test in the European Union reportedly takes 20 minutes to complete. FCA denies the allegations. "We believe all our vehicles respect EU emissions standards and we believe Italian regulators are the competent authority to evaluate this," the company said in a statement. The latter part of that statement drew ire from German authorities, especially after FCA declined to meet with German transport minister Alexander Dobrindt to discuss the issue. Graziano Delrio, the Italian Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, vowed to work with German authorities on behalf of FCA. According to EU law, FCA is required to homologate its vehicles in Italy because that's where its regional operations are based. When will the diesel-scented soap opera end? We wish we knew, but our Magic 8 Ball is covered in soot.

Chrysler Recalling 870,000 SUVs For Brake Defect

Wed, Apr 2 2014

Chrysler is recalling nearly 870,000 SUVs because corrosion may make the vehicles' brakes harder to use. Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from the 2011 through 2014 model years are involved. Chrysler says crimp joints in the brake boosters can corrode if they're exposed to water. If the water freezes, the boosters won't aid braking as they usually do. Chrysler began investigating after some customers said their brakes felt too firm when pressed down. The company knows of one accident, but no injuries, due to the defect. Dealers will install a shield to protect the boosters for free and replace boosters that aren't working properly. Chrysler has since changed the design to make the boosters more corrosion resistant. Chrysler will notify owners of the recall, which involves 867,795 vehicles.
