I have a very nice dodge ram D50 Turbo Diesel 4x4 5 speed. IT HAS 63,000 ACTUAL MILES Barely a rust spot on it. It starts and runs good, the trans and 4x4 work great, The heater and wipers work, most all lights work (rear right tailite and brake bulb bad?) The driver seat is barely worn. I believe it has stock exhaust. The turbo works good and you can hear it whine when taking off. The new glow plugs come on and turn off after the 30? seconds like it should. The parking brake still works great! Power steering works great and brakes work good too. The air conditioning has new style freon and the compressor works if i run voltage to the wire so it may be low. Bed is super clean and has spray in liner. Tailgate works perfect. The runningboard lights even turn on when you open the door. Tires are like new 235/75/15 I bought this truck a couple years ago. It came from washington where it sat for 10 years inside. The guy i bought it from Illinoise where he had to leave it outside so he sold it to me. I replaced the cracked head and 2 cylinders had stuck rings. So i replaced the rings and rear seal and pan gasket. and glow plugs. It now starts and runs great. The mice had a nest in the air filter and exhaust. I revved it up and sent them packing. I drove it down the road to check out all 5 speeds and thats it.(yes they all work good) This truck is the most complete and nicest I have seen on ebay, BUT it is not perfect. This would be a great truck to buy and fix up. There are alot of little things that need done. A couple injectors leak around the copper ring while running. May just need to be tighter or new copper rings put on. Shifter needs WD40 to make it easier to push down for reverse. The mice had a nest in the air filter so it needs replaced. A few interior plastic trim parts need bolted back on and you may be missing a couple small parts. The rear sliding window has one left glass missing. There is alot of small things to do. Maybe some leaks here and there, I have not seen much yet but it might. The truck sat for 12 years now. The fuel smells like its very old. It is almost 30 years old so do not plan on buying it and taking off on a vacation. When I bought it carfax said there was a title issue but they could never find the problem and did not know why it said that. It may be off by now. I had no problem having a clear Ohio title made. Delivery possible for a fee. Please call for questions. I may not ba able to answer emails very often.

It may not be origional paint but looks good for the age. On Mar-13-12 at 20:28:02 PDT, seller added the following information: I have had many questions about the frame condition. Answer is...Super Clean!! It is mainly still black paint. There is even a full size spair tire that matches the 4 others and was rotated to match tread wear on the others (that takes dedication) On Mar-14-12 at 15:23:28 PDT, seller added the following information: RESERVE price is $2970 so next bid hits reserve! Truck will sell on here! I will not take offers no longer. Bid to buy and remember it runs but needs some things done before driving it alot. Runs a little rough and old fuel smells.Runs smoother when it warms up. Has half tank of 12 year old fuel. Must be hauled home. GOOD LUCK, it goes to high bidder. Back up bidders keep my phone number in case high bidder is a deadbeat.....On Mar-16-12 at 08:56:40 PDT, seller added the following information: This truck has a clear Ohio title. It is not a salvage title. Miles are actual. The doors close smooth with no hinge wear. The clutch feels good. The truck does start and run good and will drive onto a carrier or trailer. The air filter box is ok but the paper filter needs replaced. I have gotten a massive amount of calls and will add info as new questions arrise. Thanks
