1997 2500 12 Valve 4x4 Cummins with 5-Speed Manual Transmission Asking $10,000
I am the second owner of this truck, the previous owner was from Southern Utah (non salted roads) and took excellent care of it. Since I have owned it I have continued with that, oil changes, filters, etc.
This truck starts with the bump of a key every time, and has been extremely reliable for me. I would drive this truck anywhere in complete confidence. It gets excellent fuel mileage, and even has an exhaust brake! This truck I would describe as fairly clean for it's age with a few flaws.
The GOOD:
Newer 5 speed transmission with "5th gear nut fix"
BD exhaust brake ( after having this, I would never own a truck without one)
Engine tuned by Will at Power Driven Diesel (pulls really well)
Thuren front soft ride leveling coils
Rancho 9000 shocks
Dodge Off Road heavy duty track bar
Dodge Off Road steering gear box brace
New Borgeson quick ratio steering gear box
New Borgeson high output power steering pump with new lines
99 HD steering tigh rods/draglink
Method Race Wheels 18x9
Cooper StMaxx 295/70/18 tires
Passed Colorado Emissions
Gauges (EGT, Boost, Fuel pressure)
New Power Driven Diesel mechanical lift up
Marathon Cordura fitted seat covers
Bed Liner
1 Brand New Cooper Tire
The Bad:
Typical 90's dodge clear coat starting to peal on the hood
A few small dings
Small patch of rust on driver side fender. The previous owner had rather ugly chrome fender flares and when I took those off I noticed the rust
Tires are worn and will need replacing at some point. (comes with one brand new tire, so you only need to buy 3!)
