Gasoline

THIS TRUCK HAS NEW FRONT END PARTS, (3-MONTHS OLD) WHEEL HUBS, DRILLED AND SLOTTED ROTORS, PADS, STEERING DAMPER AND TIE RODS AND TRACK BARS. IT HAS NEWER SHOCKS TWO-YEARS OLD. IT HAS TWO SETS OF FOG LIGHTS THAT WORK PERFECTLY AND A NEW DASH COVER--THESE OLDER DODGES ARE PRONE TO DASHBOARD CRACKING. THIS HAS BEEN DONE FOR YOU. THIS WAS MY WIFE'S TRUCK AND SHE OPTED FOR A JEEP--DIDN'T LIKE THE TALLER RIDE HEIGHT AND STIFFER SUSPENSION. THE TRUCK HAS A GOOSENECK AND TOW PACKAGE. THIS TRUCK IS A 100% NEVER SEEN SALT EVER, TEXAS RUST FREE TRUCK! IT RUNS FANTASTIC AND IT JUST DRIVES BEAUTIFULLY HANDLES TIGHT. WHY THE NEW PARTS? OUR MECHANIC FOUND LOWER BALL JOINTS THAT WERE BAD--SO WE REPLACED EVERYTHING INCLUDING AXLE U-JOINTS, UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS AND EVEN HAD DODGE LOCALLY ALIGN IT AND BALANCE THE TIRES. I AM ABSOLUTELY SURE THE PERSON WHO IS SMART ENOUGH TO BUY THIS TRUCK WILL LOVE IT. IT HAS A REALLY NICE AFTERMARKET JVC STEREO WITH MP3 CD PLAYER, ULTRA COLD AC (I AM IN TEXAS AND IT WAS OVER 120 IN THE SUN THIS YEAR) THAT NEVER STOPPED WORKING NOR DID THE TRUCK EVER HESITATE TO RE-START ON THE HOTTEST DAYS!! THE ONLY THING WE KNOW THAT DODGE TOLD US WAS THAT THERE WAS A LITTLE PLAY IN THE STEERING BOX--IT ONLY AFFECTED THE RECOIL OF THE STEERING WHEEL DURING THE ALIGNMENT. OTHER THAN THAT.........................THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN BETTER THAN MY 2003 CHEVY 3500 4X4 DUALLY IN ALMOST EVERY WAY POSSIBLE. I WOULD KEEP THE TRUCK AND SELL MY CHEVY IN A HEART BEAT, IF IT HAD THE 8-FOOT BED RATHER THAN THE SPORT-BED--I DO HAUL LUMBER AND PLYWOOD OCCASIONALLY AND NEED THE FULL SIZE BED. OTHERWISE, THIS TRUCK IS JUST RUST FREE AND DRIVES REALLY TIGHT. THE TIRES ARE 10-PLY AND ALMOST NEW (2,000 MILES OR LESS) AND RATED FOR HIGHWAY AND OFF ROAD USE. THEY DO RIDE HARD THOUGH, SO IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HAUL WITH THIS, YOU SHOULD CHANGE THEM TO C RATHER THAN E RATED TIRES. PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING AS WE WILL CONSIDER YOUR BID A CONTRACT BINDING ALL PARTIES. THIS TRUCK IS SOLD "AS IS" AND WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME AND SEE IT AND DRIVE IT BEFORE YOU BID OR BUY--WE HAVE A LOCAL DODGE DEALER WHO CAN ON YOUR BEHALF PERFORM AN ENTIRE INSPECTION AT YOUR EXPENSE, IN WHICH WE WILL ACCOMODATE YOU IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE TRUCK INSPECTED. YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AHEAD OF TIME AND LET US KNOW WHEN TO BRING THE TRUCK TO THEM. OR, FLY IN AND DRIVE HOME--LET US KNOW HOW WE CAN ACCOMODATE YOU AND WE CAN MEET YOU AT THE HOUSTON AIRPORT, BUS TERMINAL OR TRAIN STATION PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE AROUND THE HOUSTON OR KATY, TEXAS AREA. I REALLY DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT WITH WINTER COMING, THIS IS THE TRUCK TO HAVE--THE 4X4 WORKS FLAWLESSLY AND ALL ELECTRICAL IS 100% AS ARE ALL MECHANICS. I CANNOT STRESS THAT ENOUGH........................THIS IS A REALLY GREAT TRUCK AND I WILL HATE TO SEE IT GO, BUT WE HAVE TOO MANY VEHICLES AND THE INSURANCE IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR US TO JUST LET THIS TRUCK SIT UNUSED. On Nov-16-11 at 10:00:30 PST, seller added the following information: I FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION...................................5.9L MAGNUM V-8 WITH HEAVY DUTY 2500/3500 REARS WITH 4:10 GEARING. I THINK THIS IS WHAT ALL THE OFF ROAD FOLKS LOOK FOR BECAUSE OF THE BEEFIER SUSPENSION AND GEARING THAT ALLOWS YOU TO GO UP IN TIRE SIZE WHILE STILL MAINTAINING A REALLY NICE HIGHWAY AND TOWN CRUISING SPEED. THIS HAS THE OVERDRIVE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THANKS TO YOU GUYS FOR YOUR VALUABLE EMAILS--KEEP THOSE QUESTIONS COMING. IF YOU NEED OTHER PICTURES JUST LET US KNOW. TRUCK DOES NOT BURN OIL, NO COOLANT IN THE OIL NO LEAKS THAT WE KNOW OF. ALSO.............WE HAD THE COMPUTER SCAN THE CODES AND THIS TRUCK HAS 0-CODES. THIS IS A REALLY NICE RUNNING TRUCK. On Nov-18-11 at 22:04:49 PST, seller added the following information: NEXT UPDATE..............................AN EBAYER ASKED HOW THE BED AND TAILGATE ARE AND SO.............................BEAUTIFUL. THERE IS A HEAVY DUTY MATT LIKE A STOCK TRAILER FLOOR MATT AND UNDER IT, IS NICE CLEAR AND CLEAN FACTORY PAINT AND AGAIN...................NO RUST. THE TAIL GATE WORKS PERFECTLY AND I THINK IT HAS A MATT PIECE FOR THE INSIDE OF IT. I WILL CHECK TOMORROW AND TRY TO UPLOAD SOME ADDITIONA PICTURES. ALSO MY WIFE ADDED THAT I NEED TO ADVISE THAT WE ARE SELLING THE TRUCK LOCALLY AS WELL AND HAVE HAD INTEREST, SO WE DO WANT TO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION IF IT SELLS LOCALLY. ALSO......................THE EXHAUST IS GREAT--NICE LOW GROWL BUT TIGHT AND RIGHT. AND AS FAR AS WE KNOW IT HAS THE EMISSIONS STUFF AS I DO SEE A CATALYTIC CONVERTER. WE DON'T SMOG HERE BUT THE TRUCK WAS UP IN DALLAS MOST OF ITS LIFE AND THEY TEST THERE. OH, AND THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ALSO NEW WITHIN THE LAST 2-YEARS AS ARE THE STEPS AND BAJA BAR. AND ALL LIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS AND ELECTRICAL WORKS PERFECTLY. THE 4X4 IS PERFECTLY FUNCTIONAL AND SO..............................I WILL POST MORE AS YOU GUYS AS THE QUESTIONS--AGAIN.....................KEEP THEM COMING!! On Nov-19-11 at 13:20:49 PST, seller added the following information: NEW PICTURES......................AS PROMISE, I AM INSERTING A FEW MORE PICTURES OF THE TRUCK BED UNDER THE HEAVY DUTY MATT. AS YOU CAN SEE NO RUST AND VERY LITTLE WEAR. THERE IS ON THE SIDE BED RAILS TWO DRILLED HOLES WHERE THERE USED TO BE A TOOL BOX OR HEADACHE RACK. I DID FORGET TO MENTION THAT. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS A 10-YEAR OLD TRUCK THAT HAS IN FACT BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED. REALLY FOLKS SERIOUSLY......................THIS NEW TODAY IS $40,000.00. SO I WOULD ADVICE CONSIDERING THAT IN YOUR EXPECTATIONS HERE, WHILE OTHERS ARE BUYING DIESEL MODELS THINKING THEY OUTLAST GAS ENGINES, WHILE THEY DO, BUT NOT AT ANY COST SAVINGS AT ALL--DIESEL IS ONLY GOING TO GO UP IN PRICE AT THE PUMPS AND THE COST TO REPAIR A TURBO INJECTION SYSTEM IS IN THE THOUSANDS! SO............WE REALLY ARE GIVING THIS TRUCK AWAY WHEN THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN BUY THIS IN THIS CONDITION AND TAKE IT UP NORTH TO CHICAGO AND SELL IT FOR AT LEAST $10-12,000.00 FINANCING PLUS. SO....................I LIVED UP NORTH AND KNOW WHAT THESE ARE WORTH AND THE PEOPLE LOOKING FOR THEM.On Nov-21-11 at 01:57:12 PST, seller added the following information: AS PROMISED......................ANOTHER UPDATE FROM QUESTIONS WE HAVE RECEIVED.............................ONE EBAYER ASKED ABOUT THE 4X4. THIS TRUCK IS A FULLY FUNCTIONING 4WD TRUCK! THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC 4X4 IN WHICH IT'S NICE........................NOT HUBS TO TURN. YOU SIMPLY PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND ENGAGE THE STICK ON THE FLOOR INTO HIGH, LOW NEUTRAL OR...................2-WHEEL DRIVE WHICH IS NICE BECAUSE YOU CAN LEAVE THE TRUCK IN 2-WHEEL DRIVE OR, YOU CAN PUT THE TRANSFER CASE IN NEUTRAL. I THINK DODGE DID THIS, SO THAT YOU CAN DISENGAGE THE 4X4 WITHOUT HAVING TO BACK UP TO UNLOCK THE AUTO LOCKOUTS IN CASE YOU NEED TO PUT IT BACK INTO OR OUT OF 4X4. IT'S A NICE FEATURE--OUR 99FORD F-350 HAD LOCKOUT HUBS AND IN 60MPH WINDS BLOWING SNOW AND -30 DEGREES.....................YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO TURN FROZEN COLD LOCKOUT HUBS TO USE THE 4X4.On Nov-21-11 at 02:07:39 PST, seller added the following information: ONE MORE TIME........................I FORGOT TO MENTION, THAT WE HAVE THE PAPERWORK FOR THE THINGS WE HAD DONE, AT OUR LOCAL MECHANICS SHOP AND ALL THE OTHER RECEIPTS SINCE WE OWNED THE TRUCK. WE BOUGHT IT FOR A LITTLE OVER $7,000.00 2-YEARS AGO AND SINCE THEN INVESTED ANOTHER $2,300.00 IN TIRES AND PARTS AND INSTALLATION EXPENSES. WE INTENDED TO KEEP THIS TRUCK, BUT MY WIFE JUST DIDN'T LIKE THE STIFFER HIGH-UP RIDE--SHE'S ONLY 5'2 AND HER MY TRUCK SCARES HER WORSE. SO, WE GOT HER A JEEP. TO-DATE WE HAVE EASILY OVER $10,000.00 INTO THIS PEACH OF A TRUCK. SO........................
