1996 Dodge Ram 2500 HD
It has only 69k miles, 5.9L turbo Cummins 12 valve diesel engine, with a automatic transmission (rebuilt at 35k miles), 2 wheel drive (non-posi dana 70 3.50), 8 lug wheels. Regular cab with 8' long bed.
The truck has been a work truck since my dad bought it new in 1996
Exterior...
standard cab, long bed. The body is beat, both doors are damaged to the point they need replacement(repair is out of the question on passenger side). Pass fender is messed up, pass headlight broken but i do have a brand new complete assembly. front and rear bumpers are both messed up. Truck bed is scratched/dented all over. has a bed liner but even that has seen better days. tailgate is dented scratched and has fallen off the truck several times. pass side rocker is dented in a little. All damage was due to work related loading unloading, or my dad driving into things before he wasn't allowed to drive anymore.(pass door was a light post base, driver door got snagged on a wall while he was backing up with it open etc.) both taillights cracked up, but brand new ones are cheap(ill even get them prior to sale if you want)
Interior...
vinyl bench seat, ripped on drivers side. Vinyl floor(no carpet), interior is dirty as would be expected for a work truck but it can clean up decent, just the headliner is dirty and falling. Truck was ordered with almost no options... NO A/C, am/fm radio only. I since switched in a oem dodge am/fm/tape headunit, but seems to randomly work due to a power issue, i can fix it though, just never did. Heater blower motor quit, just havent gotten around to replacing that yet(less than $50). It has manual windows etc.
(New seat cover, carpet, and headliner material is less than $500)
Drivetrain...
2wd, 5.9L intercooled cummins 12v engine, auto trans(rebuilt at 35k). It has the OD on/off switch on the dash for the trans. rear is 3.50 gears with an open carrier(non posi) and im not sure the exact rear diff sizing but if it helps any its with the heavy duty 8 lug axles. dana 70 i believe.
Ive used the truck for work after my dad stopped driving and then i used it mainly to tow and pick up cars i bought. But now its just been sitting around with me up in NY. It tows GREAT. the cummins has more than enough power to pull stuff. My denali used to struggle with even a loaded open car trailer. This Ram goes up hills with a full load no issues, When the turbo kicks in, it rocks. Years back I installed a Class 3 frame mounted receiver hitch and it has just a flat 4 trailer connector, i never needed to add electric brakes option with the stuff i towed.
Basically as the whole truck sits now, with a complete service(oil change fuel filter, etc) its good to go. I just have no use for it.
In January I installed 2 brand new batteries(over 200 bucks) and the truck started up right away. I took it around the block and it drove good.
** Comes with a good GREEN front passenger fender, NEW passenger headlight assembly, and a repairable 98+ sport front bumper cover.
$4,000 FIRM
--I'm not too interested in trades, but who knows...
In a few weeks I may try putting this on ebay since with the low miles and no rust, it will be very desirable.
