Food for thought: You think your local used car dealership would have 100% positive ratings on each and every vehicle sold all over the world if their buyers had the ability to leave them feedback on an open forum (even after driving the vehicle a couple thousand miles)? There is a difference! . . . you buy this vehicle and expect me to pick you up at the airport on a Sunday morning - unless you catch an early flight and want to come to worship with my family and I - it starts at 10am and that's where I'll be.

IF YOU STILL CAN'T SEE THEM ALL, IT MAY BE EASIER TO VIEW THEM ON MY WEBSITE AT WWW.SHORTMOTORCOMPANY.COM This is an extremely clean 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 with the legendary 5.9L "High Output" 305HP/555TQ Cummins Turbo Diesel and 48RE Heavy-Duty Automatic Transmission. This is a very tight, very solid, and smooth riding truck that has been very well cared for and is in near mint condition inside and out. The engine is very strong and doesn't smoke, doesn't leak, and doesn't have one iota of blow-by, or make any strange noises, or anything else like that. The transmission shifts perfect. As you can tell from all the pictures, this is a very clean truck with a lot of excellent modifications that look great, but also make the truck function incredibly well. This truck gets tons of looks and thumbs up wherever it goes. I bought this truck for myself in February of this year when it had 230k miles on it. At that point I had already purchased a Lance 815 slide-in truck camper over the winter, and I set out to build the most practical 3rd generation Dodge dually I could put together, and built with hauling the camper in mind. The first order of business was finding a truck. I looked at a bunch of trucks before finding this one. I didn't care if it had 50k or 550k miles - I just wanted the "right" truck. I'm beyond picky when it comes to my personal vehicles and I care the most about condition and maintenance. This truck has only had two owners before me, and the second owner actually bought it in 2004 with 22k miles on it, and traded it in at Sewell GMC with 230k miles, and I got it from Sewell. There weren't ever any modifications done to this truck at all before I got it - it was simply babied and extremely well-maintained, and looked almost exactly as it did whenever it rolled off the assembly line. The drivetrain is still 100% stock (no chip, no programmer, no air intake, etc.). The paint is 100% original. The Carfax is 100% clean. It has always lived in Texas since new so it's 100% rust-free from top to bottom. The second owner had his own metal fabrication shop in west Texas, but this was his own personal truck (NOT his work truck). He kept it indoors inside his warehouse anytime it wasn't being driven. Because of that, you'll notice that the truck has been kept in excellent condition. The dash is original and in perfect condition (no cracks). The upholstery is excellent. The paint shines great. Since I've owned the truck, it's spent very few nights outside as well. There hasn't ever been any performance modifications done this truck. You can make an incredible amount of power with this engine, and the transmission has been built to stay reliable for a long time, even with a significant power increase. So the platform is there if you want to increase the power substantially. However, big power was not what I was personally after when I built this truck, so I didn't pursue it. What I wanted was rock solid reliability, and that's exactly what this truck is. This particular truck is considered by many to be the "holy grail" of the 3rd generation Dodge diesels, which are quickly becoming far more sought after than the earlier 2nd generation Ram with the 12-valve Cummins because of these trucks' dependability and creature comforts, among many other improvements. This is an early 2004 model, and this particular Cummins diesel engine was only built for the 2003 and early 2004 trucks. This is the engine that always gets the best fuel mileage, lasts the longest, and makes the most power the most dependably than just about any other Cummins ever made. These early 2004's never had a catalytic converter from the factory, nor do they have the third injection event (for emissions control as on the late 2004 and newer). What makes this truck even more rare is that it's a factory High Output engine, so it's rated at 305 Horsepower and 555 LB-FT of Torque. Here is a list of the maintenance I've had done to this truck since I bought it in February 2013 (only 4k miles ago):- ALL U-Joints (front axle and both driveshafts) replaced with Dana Spicer Non-Greaseable/Sealed U-Joints- Upper and Lower Front Ball Joints replaced with Moog Problem Solver Ball Joints- Injector #2 replaced with new factory Bosch injector- New Fan Clutch-New Front and Rear Brake Rotors, Pads, and Inner Axle Seals- New Power Steering Pump- New Blower Motor Resistor- Front and Rear Differentials Serviced with New Synthetic Fluid-Transfer Case Serviced with New Synthetic Fluid- New Completely Rebuilt Transmission from Bob Westmoreland with all new drums, seals, Torque Converter, internal bushings, bands, etc. (also a very slight shift kit for heat dissipation and extended durability)- New Four Wheel Alignment- New Transfer Case Selector Motor- New Water Pump- New Oil and Filter Change- New Fuel Filter And here is a list of the brand new aftermarket parts that I've added:- Centramatic Dynamic Wheel Balancers- Alcoa 17" Forged Aluminum Wheels- ALL SEVEN New LT285/70/17 BFGoodrich All-Terrain Tires (Load Range E)- Road Rhino Front Bumper- Warn M12000 Winch with Warn Industrial Strength Roller Fairlead- PIAA Fog Lights and Driving Lights- Bushwacker Front Fender Flares- Bushwacker Bedrail Caps and Tailgate Cap- Ventshade Door Sill Protectors- AutoMeter "Factory Match" A-Pillar Triple Gauge Pod (Trans Temp, Exhaust Temp, and Turbo Boost)- Window Tint (30% on front doors, 15% on rear doors and back window)- Rhino Liner Spray-In Bedliner- DeeZee Rubber Bedmat- Geno's Garage Console Cupholder- Thuren Adjustable Track Bar- Thuren 3" Lift Front Springs- Thuren Overland Front and Rear Shocks- Dodge Offroad (Danny Gaston) Front Upper and Lower Control Arms- Carli Steering Stabilizer- Updated 2008.5-up T-Style Steering- Happijac Frame-Mounted Truck Camper Tie-Down System with Stabilizer Bar- Wheelskins Genuine Leather Laced Steering Wheel Cover The interior is immaculate. Everything looks great and the upholstery is in excellent condition. All the power options work perfect. The A/C is cold and the Heat is hot. No strange smells, just very clean and well kept. Never smoked in. All original manuals, keys and remotes, etc. The exterior is just as nice. All original paint and no evidence of any accidents (the Carfax Report is perfectly clean). No rust or corrosion anywhere top or bottom. A few tiny dings and paint scuffs (I've included close-up pictures of the worst), but you'll have to look close to find them. Also the previous owner spilled some chemical on the passenger dually fender and it stained the paint slightly in one small area (close-up picture included). Truck really looks absolutely amazing. So, why in the world would I ever sell this truck? My family loves to go camping and I thought this would be the perfect setup for us, but after only two trips with the slide-in camper we realized it was just too small for us with our 2 kids. So, I sold the camper several weeks ago and now I've comes to terms with the fact that I truly have no use for this much truck. I've built several Dodge diesels over the years, and I know what works and what doesn't. Any modifications I have done were only to capitalize on what is already an excellent truck and make it work even better. There's no way anyone could build this nice of a truck and do this much preventative maintenance for this price, but I obviously didn't buy it to make money on. That means my loss is your incredible gain. I've put many many thousands of dollars into this truck in maintenace and modifications, and that's after starting with the nicest stock truck I could find, and buying many of the parts at my wholesale cost. This truck is an excellent value. The bottom line is this truck is truly ready to go anywhere and do anything you want to do with it. If you'd like to fly in and drive it home, I'll personally bring it to you at the airport when you arrive. If you need it shipped, I can arrange that for you too. 2004 DODGE RAM 3500 4X4 *5.9L "HIGH OUTPUT" CUMMINS TURBO DIESEL ENGINE WITH HEAVY-DUTY 48RE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION *305 HORSEPOWER / 555 LB-FT TORQUE *4-WHEEL-DRIVE *LARAMIE PACKAGE *3.73 GEAR RATIO WITH LIMITED SLIP REAR DIFFERENTIAL *QUAD CAB (4 DOOR, 6 PASSENGER), LONG BED (8 FT) *BRIGHT WHITE EXTERIOR WITH TAN LEATHER INTERIOR *POWER DOOR LOCKS *POWER WINDOWS *DUAL-ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL *POWER AND HEATED EXTENDABLE TOWING MIRRORS *FLIP-DOWN CENTER CONSOLE *POWER ADJUSTABLE PEDALS *DUAL POWER FRONT SEATS *TILT STEERING *CRUISE CONTROL *STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS FOR CRUISE AND AUDIO *FACTORY INFINITY AM/FM STEREO WITH CD AND CASSETTE PLAYERS *KEYLESS ENTRY WITH ANTI-THEFT ALARM SYSTEM *TOWING PACKAGE WITH RECEIVER HITCH AND TRAILER PLUG *17" ALCOA FORGED ALUMINUM WHEELS WITH BRAND NEW 285/70/17 BFGOODRICH ALL TERRAIN TIRES (INCLUDING THE SPARE) EXTERIOR IS EXCELLENT *100% RUST-FREE *NO PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS INTERIOR IS EXCELLENT *EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECT *VERY CLEAN RUNS AND DRIVES EXCELLENT *ENGINE RUNS EXCELLENT WITH LOTS OF POWER *TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTH AND CRISP *NO ISSUES - READY TO DRIVE ANYWHERE CARFAX CERTIFIED 2 OWNER TEXAS TRUCK WITH ACTUAL MILEAGE AND A PERFECTLY CLEAN TITLE AND HISTORY REPORT (NO ACCIDENTS, THEFTS, FLOODS, ETC.)

Our History: Short Motor Company was founded by my Dad, Leo Short, in 1990 after he was a Snap-On Tool dealer for 9 years. He was guided in starting his business by his uncle, John Short, who owned several new and used car dealerships throughout Texas over the course of more than 30 years in the business. I started working for my Dad at age 16, finished high school, and began my college career toward my Associates Degree in Automotive Marketing and Management from Northwood University in Cedar Hill, TX. I married my wonderful wife Rachel in 2007 and we welcomed a baby boy to our family in February 2011, and then a baby girl in December 2012. My Dad and I continue to work together: he sells vehicles strictly from his storefront just as he has done from the same location since 1989, while I have chosen to cater to the online community. Since 1989 our family business has been a member in good standing with the Fort Worth Independent Auto Dealers Association, the Texas Independent Auto Dealers Association, and the National Independent Auto Dealers Assocation. When I was 12 years old, my Grandpa gave me a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback that had been sitting in a field since the 1970's. It was my dream car, but once I started looking to buy parts for it and realized that wasn't going to happen with my small budget, I sold it for $1,300. By the time I graduated High School at age 17, I had bought and sold over 30 cars. For my High School yearbook, they made up a new "Most Likely To Be..." category for me - I was "Most Likely To Become President Of Ford Motor Company". When I joined eBay in 1999 I was buying and selling rare Hot Wheels toy cars. Now since 2006 I've been selling pre-owned cars and trucks full-time on eBay and specializing in diesels. Since day one, I've maintained 100% positive feedback with over 350 transactions. My Philosophy: To provide quality pre-owned vehicles with outstanding value and superior customer service. I realize that my customers have a lot of choices when purchasing a vehicle and my goal is to cater to you personally by providing a perfectly painless purchasing experience. I treat you with the same respect, honesty, and integrity that I would expect to receive. All of my vehicles are hand-picked, thoroughly inspected and fully serviced, and then inspected cosmetically and test driven by me before they're ever offered for sale. If you have a question about anything at all, please don't hesitate to ask - I'm readily available through email (bradyshort@gmail.com) or a phone call (817-988-2629). -Brady Short Finance I DO NOT OFFER FINANCING. However, if you choose to seek your own financing through a bank or credit union, I can work with them to finalize your purchase. But, if you are going to need financing, please make sure that you are approved by your lender for the vehicle you would like to bid on before bidding on it. A few suggestions for financing providers are shown below: Shipping - FREE PICK-UP AT ANY AIRPORT, BUS STATION, OR TRAIN STATION IN THE DALLAS/FORT WORTH AREA -If you choose to fly into any airport in the Dallas/Fort Worth area (Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field are the two main ones), I will deliver your vehicle (and paperwork) to the airport at any prearranged time (during normal business hours, unless other arrangements are made ahead of time). I can also accommodate any buyers who prefer to ride the train or bus into the Dallas/Fort Worth area as well. - NATIONWIDE "TO YOUR DOOR" DELIVERY OF YOUR VEHICLE -I recommend Will Haul It, LLC (www.WillHaulIt.com) for all your vehicle transport services. For a shipping quote, you can either contact me or call Russell at Will Haul It directly at (321) 610-4798. The service is honest and personal, the price can't be beat, and the delivery time is extraordinary.

Terms and Conditions Fee and Tax Information: BUYERS FROM TEXAS: You will be charged 6.25% State Sales Tax (Sale Price x .0625), $33 Title Transfer Fee, .2365% Vehicle Inventory Tax (Sale Price x .002365), and a $50 Documentary Fee. New license plates, registration sticker, and safety/emissions inspection sticker will be taken care of at no charge to you. BUYERS FROM ANY STATE OUTSIDE OF TEXAS: You will only be charged Vehicle Inventory Tax of .2365% (Sale Price x .002365) and a Documentary Fee of $50. You are responsible for paying sales tax in your own state of residence (if applicable). TO ALL BUYERS: Total amount of vehicle is to be paid within 3 business days after the auction ends. Acceptable payment methods are: Cash (in person), Cashier's Check, Certified Loan Check, or Bank Wire Transfer. All buyers will be issued a temporary buyer's tag good for 60 days from the time of sale. Vehicle must be picked up within 2 weeks after auction ends. After 2 weeks, a storage fee of $15 per day will be charged. If I already have the title to the vehicle it will be given to you in person when you pick up the vehicle, or sent to you via FedEx if you choose to ship the vehicle. If I do not yet have the title (very few cases, but does happen sometimes because of paperwork delays), once I do receive the title (no longer than 10 days after the sale in most cases) it will be sent to you via FedEx. Winning bidder MUST contact me within 24 hours of auction end, and make arrangements for payment at that time. If no contact is made within 24 hours I reserve the right to sell it to the next highest bidder, re-list the vehicle, or sell it elsewhere. Please do not bid on this auction unless you are serious about owning this vehicle. All non-paying high bidders will be reported to eBay. If financing, make sure your financial institution accepts the year and miles of this vehicle before bidding. Please arrange financing prior to bidding. If you are not sure about something, please ask. Do not assume anything not listed or pictured is included. Feel free to call me (817-988-2629) or email me (bradyshort@gmail.com) for any reason. I reserve the right to cancel bids for excessive negative feedback or not enough feedback. If you have less than 2 feedbacks, please email me before bidding. All of my vehicles are thoroughly checked out by my mechanic before they are ever put on eBay and any maintenance needs are taken care of. Most of my customers are from out of state, so I take great care to make absolutely certain (to the best of my ability) that the vehicle is in excellent mechanical (and cosmetic) condition. Please understand these are used vehicles, and may have very minor imperfections that are not noted. I try very hard to describe each vehicle accurately; however, if you have a question about something specific that you feel is not addressed adequately in the description, please call or email me. Sometimes the vehicle may have slightly more miles on it after the auction is over than what it had when the eBay listing started. This will not be a drastic mileage increase (usually only a couple hundred miles at the most), but it does happen on occasion because of test drives and demonstrations during the auction. I want this transaction to be as smooth and pleasant as possible. A happy buyer is a well educated buyer, so if you are in doubt about anything, please ask.
