I have for sale an original and 1 owner 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 Cummins 5.9 Turbo Diesel Dually with 147k miles. This truck is a true work horse that will pull and push anything in its way.


Before I go any further I want to be extremely clear and honest. This truck is a 2003 and is in very good condition, however there are a few small imperfections on the truck.  This is not a show room truck but the truck is in clean and very presentable. 

The car currently has 147k miles and always maintained since new. This is a one owner truck and I still have all the documents for this vehicle when bought new. If you are not familiar with the Laramine edition, it is fully loaded with a Alpine sound system, leather seats, steering wheel controls, heated seats, CD player, wood grain dash, etc. 

Anything on the truck that needs or needed to be address was always repaired immediately and by a diesel mechanic shop. I have a lot of receipts for the work performed. Off the top of my head I will break down the truck.

**Exterior** (I would rate it an 8 out of 10)
-Dodge White, body is in good condition with a few small dings, nothing major and no rust. There is a quarter size dent on the hood and a small depression on the roof of the truck. 
-Painted White Bug Deflector in front
-Tow Mirrors which fold and extend out.
-Tinted Overhead lights
-Tinted third brake and rear tail lights
-New front bumper (replaced due to age)
-New front valance (replaced due to age)
-New lower spoiler (replaced due to age)
-Full Size Tool Box (not included in sale)
-Brand New Wipers
-Rear bumper was spray painted chrome and has dents on it. I would replace it $185.00 for a new bumper.


**Interior** (Rate it an 8 out of 10)
-All original and clean
-Driver seat is worn and has a small rip (see picture)
-Rear seats are in excellent condition however, they have a few small grease stains on them
-Have floor mats which protected the original carpet
-Original carpet and floor mats in good condition
-Only issue with the interior, when I click the unlock on the remote key or from the interior, the doors don't unlock. The module inside the truck needs to be replaced.

**Engine and Drivetrain**
-Truck starts up with zero hesitation, does not smoke, tick, knock, VERY VERY SOLID DIESEL MOTOR!!! Not even broken in. 
-Oil replaced religiously 7k miles with diesel 15w-40 oil
-Transmission flushed everything 25k miles. Current had a flush 2k miles ago and oil is bright red. Very Clean and no issues with the transmission. Transmission shifts extremely smooth, OD works perfectly. 
-Front and Rear Differential fluid replaced with synthetic oil every 10k miles. Both units had fluids replaced 2k miles ago.
-New OEM alternator (12/2012)
-New A/C Compressor (02/2012)
-New Idle Tensioner (12/2012)
-New serpentine belt (12/2012)
-Replaced Inline Lift Pump (5/2013)
-Replaced Fuel Filter (5/2013) 
-S&B Short Ram Intake and Filter
-Replaced both high pressure transmission lines and fittings
-5" Straight Pipe Flo-Pro exhaust with a 5"-6" tip
-AC Needs to be charged. 


**Suspension/Brakes/Tires**
-New front hub U-Joints (Right and Left) (10/2011)
-New U joint in 4x4 shaft.
-New front sway bar link arms. Replaced both sides.
-4 (new) Rough Country white shocks with red boots all around (2k miles max)
-2" Spacer up front (to level out truck) (2k miles max)
-New Front and Rear Rotors
-New Brake Pads all around
-Adjusted E-Brake Cable
-6(SIX!!) 285/70/17 Goodyear all terrain tires (Cost $2500.00) tires have 5k on them max! Tires grab excellent in snow and rain. Tires also ride extremely smooth. 
-Alignment (11/2012)


**Plow**
Truck comes with a Western Plow set up bought new in 2010. I believe the plow is just around 7.6" wide. Cutting edge is in good shape and has the flap on top to keep snow down. Oil was replaced before the start of the season.


I hope I am not being repetitive on this listing but I would rather be honest with the truck then not disclose an issue. The two issues with the truck as listed in the action are 1-The interior lock module needs to be replaced, the windows all work but the unlock and lock button does not unlock and of the locks. You have to do it manually.
2-The AC needs to be charged.

The Exterior of the truck has a small dent on the rear half of the passenger side rear door. The bed is in good condition but shows some signs of wear and tear. This truck was only used for personal use, no heavy equipment used in the truck.

The only towing I do with this truck is my 21 foot boat, no gooseneck trailer, never had any extension for that either. The bottom of the bed is in very good condition with no rust. The frame rails are extremely solid, some areas have a slight surface rust but nothing any where close to rusting through. I really enjoy this truck a lot, but personally I don't have the use for it any more.  I don't have use for a 1-ton truck.  If you are on the market for a new truck and cant afford 60k for a new truck  diesel dually this is for you!!  I am asking 18500.00 OBO. I am located in Tenafly NJ 07670. I will not ship this truck, but I will assist the new buyer if the truck needs to be shipped. The truck is being sold as is with no warranties expressed or implied.

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.

Chrysler recalling 780k minivans over fire risk

Fri, 09 May 2014

Chrysler is recalling 780,000 of its Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2010 to 2014 model years due to the possibility of circuits overheating, which can lead to a fire. Of the 780,000 total vans being recalled, Chrysler estimates that 644,850 are in the US, 106,980 are in Canada, 8,009 are in Mexico, and 20,638 are in other markets. All of the affected vehicles were built between August 25, 2010 and October 31, 2013.
Chrysler's engineers discovered that beverage spills or exposure to moisture (from rain, snow, car washes, and the like) were linked to circuits shorting in the window switch assembly. Short circuits can overheat, and thus, cause a fire.
Chrysler will contact owners and let them know when they may schedule service, at which point, the window switches will be replaced. In the interim, the automaker says that owners may visit their dealers after May 14 to have the switches disconnected.

Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
