I am listing the truck again with a “lowered undisclosed reserve” The truck will sell this time.Please don’t email me asking how much I would sell the truck outright, as I won’t reply to you. Bid what you feel is fair.If you have less than “5” feedback you must contact me prior to bidding with a valid phone number or your bid will be deleted and you will be blocked.If you place a bid and then retract it “fishing” for the reserve price you will be reported to Ebay and blocked. Sorry for being hard nose about this but I am tired of dealing with flaky bidders and the emails asking how much I want for it/will sell it for. Up for auction is my 1992 Dodge W350 LE 1-ton Dually 4x4 club cab truck. It has the 5.9 Cummins engine and the Getrag 5 speed manual transmission.The truck is a local truck, and was originally purchased new at Dodge of Bellevue and it currently has 165k miles on it. I bought the truck in March of 2009 (6 years and 3 months ago) and have driven it a total of 28k miles.The body is straight for the most part. There are no rust issues/problems with it but it does have the normal paint chips, door dings that a 23 year old truck would have and it has been repainted one time that I know of. More info below.The interior is gray and it originally had a bench seat. I swapped the bench seat with a guy that had the same color bucket seats and console. I also installed the large factory under-floor bracket required for the bucket seats to attach to, to keep the floor from flexing.The carpet is original, its sun faded and showing its age. The Passenger seat is nice and the driver seat has a wear pattern on the base from sliding on and off the seat. I have another lower seat cover that goes with the truck.All the gauges work. The AC blows cold and the cruise control works. The windows and door locks are electric and also work. It still has the factory radio and it works as well.The engine runs and drives great and the prior owner had a reman transmission put in at the Dodge Dealer shortly before I bought it. He didn’t have any paperwork to show me but did point out the reman tag on the transmission. The Red pull-up button on the shifter is for the PacBrake Exhaust Brake. The 29 spline NP 205 transfer case works as it should in high and low range and the locking hubs were serviced when I had the front brakes/steering knuckles apart. It rides as nice as an all leaf spring 4x4 Dually can. My connection with this truck is that I originally bought it to use as a donor parts truck for a crewcab build I was doing. It was a nice, clean truck and it had everything I wanted for the crew cab. I was building a 1985 Dodge 4-door Crewcab W350 4x4 long bed Dually. (see last picture below) Dodge never made a Crewcab Dually 4X4 and I wanted one. In the mean time, I added a few mods to it to wake it up and did the basic maintenance (15k miles ago) while driving it and working on my project truck. Here is the build thread for the crewcab project. http://www.1stgen.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=9405When I first bought the truck, I primarily used it to pull a 25’ travel trailer and 12’ fishing boat. Long story short, life changed for me over the last few years. The Crewcab project, travel trailer and small fishing boat got sold. Once life settled back down again I bought a 27’ boat than a 28 footer and most recently a 30 footer and the total curb weights became an issue. I upgraded to a Medium duty truck and the Dually just sits for the most part now. I have driven it a total of 774 miles locally since doing the Iowa trip last June.I used the truck to pull the 27’ boat back from New York and the 28’ up from California. Hooked to the bumper the trucks combined total curb weights were 21k (and some change) pounds. The truck pulled both boats home without any issues and the gear oils got changed after each trip. I used the Medium Duty Truck to pull the 30ftr but, had I pulled it with the dually, it would have tipped the scale at over 25k pounds. Yes, it would have pulled it but that’s not the point. It’s too much weight for my comfort!A person could drive it as is or take it to the next steps. It has the gauge package and it’s ready for more mods if a person so desires. Bigger intercooler, larger single turbo or a twin turbo setup, or p-pump it, whatever you like. I like the looks of the 1st Gen trucks more than the newer trucks but the truck just sits and I am ready to move on. I’m converting the medium duty truck into a crewcab toy hauler and it’s time to focus on that project.I have done the following maintenance work and mild mods to it. The work was done the summer of 2011 just before I left on the New York trip. I have receipts and proof that only 15119 miles have been driven since all the work was done, and I will include the receipts that I have with the sale of the truck.H1C Turbo with GDS 60mm cold side and 16cm exhaust housing (Originally had the 21cm exhaust housing)Extrude honed injectors (2 passes)¾ turn on fuel screwKDP (killer dowel pin)Pac Brake Exhaust Brake ( I have installation manual)60 lb.

It still has the factory governor spring and factory mechanical lift pump. I did have to bump the timing to match the new injectors though. Some people are into making smoke or “Roaling Coal” as they say. I’m just not into that.Hot-rodding this truck was never in the plan because I was building a project truck. It came with the huge 21cm exhaust housing and I swear the truck couldn’t get out of its own way while waiting for the turbo to light. It had terrible turbo-lag and I just wanted to wake it up a lil bit. There are better turbo’s out there and more could be done with the fuel system but it just wasn’t in the plan. Had I kept throwing speed parts at it, it would have turned into a project all of its own. I just wanted something dependable with a little bit of pep to it and I was more than pleased with the results.The known issues that it does have are as follows:It has a small exhaust leak in the exhaust manifold in port one. (Needs the gasket replaced) The PacBrake exhaust brake is fully functional but it has not been set yet because of the exhaust leak. I installed the 60 pound exhaust valve springs but, never got around to fixing the leak so I could set the exhaust gate. Boat trailers have hydraulic surge brakes on them so I never got around to finishing it. (Yea, somebody should have reminded me of that one “before” I thrashed for two days to get it installed before I left for New York. LOL!)The compressor side (Boost side) is not affected by the exhaust leak. It will push 30 pounds of boost and kick the backend out sideways on damp ground. Yea, I wasn’t expecting it to do that either :-DThe windshield does have a crack in it and it was there when I bought the truck. It’s on the lower side in the middle and extends towards the driver’s side. It does not block the view of the driver and I have never been hassled by the Troopers or local Police about it. The rear cab windows tilt out as factory and the rear window is a lockable slider. No aftermarket tint.I don’t believe (have not tried yet) the truck will pass the emission test here in Pierce County because of the injectors and fuel screw adjustment. The tags are currently expired, and when I do drive it any significant distance I just get a trip permit. I just don't drive it a lot.As a side note and for full discloser, the truck has a rebuilt title. The prior owner explained to me that he forgot to set the parking brake or leave it in gear and it rolled down the driveway backwards and hit a parked tree damaging the truck in the right rear. It damaged the right bed corner, bumper and the right frame rail was bent aft of the axle where the bumper attached. In a crazy twist the prior owner purchased the rear frame clip, bumper, and bed from one of my parts trucks that I had for my crewcab conversion and had it repaired at a collision shop. A few years after the truck was repaired, I happened to find it for sale when I discovered that my 318 gas engine truck struggled to pull my travel trailer. The paint is not original. The whole truck was repainted during the collision repair. With the exception of the inside of the bed, the prior owner was going to Rhino line it but didn’t get it done before he sold it. It’s not a show quality paint job but it looks nice and shiny when it’s all washed up and the worry about the early 90’s peeling/flaking paint is gone.That being said, I was not afraid of the title status or the frame repair then or now. The prior owner used the truck to haul a camper in the back and I have loaded it with yards (usually 3 yards at a time) of rock, gravel, dirt, scrap iron and full pallets of concrete blocks. I have towed a combined weight of 20k plus pounds with it two different times for several thousand miles and a trailer full of concrete at 19k pounds (see pic below). It has been very dependable for us and there is nothing majorly wrong with it. It’s done everything I have asked of it and more. It’s been a great truck for us, it’s just time to move on to another project. Payment:The end of auction payment is a non-refundable payment. The balance owed will be paid for (Bank verified) before the truck or the title leave my possession. Shipping:I have used Uship ( https://www.uship.com/ ) a few times with good results. I can store the truck for two weeks until logistics get worked out.When you call shippers for a shipping quote they will ask you if, or make sure you inform them that it is a Dually. If it will help in transportation, I can remove the outer wheels and rear fenders, but I will need a day or so notice in advance of pick-up to get it done. I have a crazy work schedule. If you still have questions and the information is not listed please ask me.
