Please feel free to email any questions that you may have. I have owned the truck for about a year and a half now. I am simply selling because I do not drive it enough to keep it. Had to sell but it need a home. The truck body has approximately 160K. I was told the entire drivetrain was gone through and rebuilt approximately 20K miles ago. The engine, transmission, and rear end was rebuilt according to the gentleman I purchased the truck from. This truck runs well with plenty of torque. It is fun to drive and I have gotten more compliments driving this truck around than any other vehicle Ive owned. Please do not let the items I am listing below detract from the overall vehicle. I just want to be 100% up front that this is a used vehicle and does need a little TLC. It mainly needs someone that will drive it and perform some upkeep. Here are the couple of things I know is wrong with the truck. The truck was from Michigan when I purchased it. That being the case combined with Dodges inherent rusting anyways, there is some rust bubbling starting over the rear fender wells. It is not rusted through with holes or anything, but is becoming noticable and will need to be addressed soon. The is also a small oil leak. I notice a small spot under the truck after being parked. However, I can tell you the last oil change the truck was right at half a quart low and no oil was added between changes. It is a very small leak. Overall the paint finish on teh truck isnt the best but it isnt noticable unless up close to the vehicle. As stated before, the truck gets plenty of compliment and is fun to drive. It is hands down the best sounding truck I have had and Ive owned, the sound is what made me fall in love with the vehicle. TRUCK IS FOR SALE LOCALLY AND I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY IF SOLD. Again, please ask any questions. Thanks for looking. Oh, and this is a no reserve auction. If truck does not sell locally, the highest bidder on here does take it.On Jun-14-14 at 12:21:30 PDT, seller added the following information: ***ADDED 6/14/2013 3:21PM*** Please click the link below for a short video of the truck. Keep in mind that this video was an effort to point out some of the defects I know on the truck. Dont let the small little cleanup items take away from the overall. It does need some TLC, but it is a solid truck and with a little TLC could make a show vehicle. Lastly, I do apologize for not haveing the time to clean the truck up a little more as I am right in the middle of currently moving states. Anyways, please see the link below for the video. http://youtu.be/nSwHKYb_cLQ
