Click Here To View My Other Auctions! 1997 DODGE RAM 3500 4X4 12V DIESEL DUALLY PICKUP TRUCK Low starting price. No Reserve Auction! Loaded with so many extras I don't know where to begin. Here are the enhanced features, all done within the last 3,000 miles: Rear air-ride, #10 fuel plate, turbo propane injection, gear vendor overdrive, new shocks, new ball joints, lift kit, goose-neck hitch (never used). Transmission rebuilt and converted to manual by a 12V diesel engine master in OK. People from all over the country send 12V diesels to this master mechanic. In addition to all of the above, the front end has been gone through completely by our mechanic here in central Texas, also a diesel engine specialist. Runs like a TOP! Not only that, it's FAST! New tires. Four-wheel drive and a/c work great. Brakes are good. The engine has to be killed by letting out clutch. The kill switch can be replaced, but it's not a big deal to kill engine this way. Alpine stereo. No rust. Texas/AZ truck. Interior is in good shape except driver seat fabric is ripped. Back seat very good and clean. Dash has a crack. Clear-coat is peeling on the hood and fender wells. Paint is scratched on passenger door. Other than that, paint is fair. The blue paint has no fading, and is very vibrant. Video demonstration drive was done topping out at 100 mpr WITHOUT the propane injection! It's REALLY fast with the propane. Non-smoker! . Wilfong Bucking Bulls Visit Our Website!

On Aug-31-10 at 15:25:25 PDT, seller added the following information: The clutch is new with less than 3K miles. It was installed when the gear vendor was installed and the transmission was converted from automatic to manual. The gear vendor alone was $3,000. This truck has been a very expensive toy. I've been asked numerous times what we want for the truck. We can't possibly recoup what's been put into this truck, so we will sell it for what it brings on auction. It does not leak or burn oil in excess. On Sep-01-10 at 13:45:04 PDT, seller added the following information: Here are links for more information about the overdrive, which was added to save fuel and increase speed. Also, I've added pictures of the undercarriage and the overdrive switch. The undercarriage is in very good shape. The truck has not been in a wreck. Also, note the custom running boards and brush guard. These were high-dollar custom made pieces from Stephenville Trailers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdrive_(mechanics) http://www.gearvendors.com/ ****~Please note: The stereo is Pioneer, not Alpine (my bad)~**** On Sep-02-10 at 19:51:45 PDT, seller added the following information: The Propane Injection system produces power you are guaranteed to feel behind the wheel. The idea of injecting propane as a secondary fuel in turbo diesel engines has been widely used for many years and is not a new idea. Propane acts as a "catalyst" when combined with diesel fuel. When propane is added to diesel fuel, almost 100% of the fuel is burned (as opposed to approximately 75% without propane injection) which is what gives you the "powershot" of torque, horsepower and fuel economy. Horsepower and torque will increase from 25% to 60%. Fuel economy is increased significantly. You can expect an increase of 2-3 mpg depending on your driving style.
