Best Dyno To date 550 on fuel and 799 with a shot of giggle gas.There is more left in it but I have lost interest and want to move on to a CR.The truck is my daily driver currently and has 235,000 on it.It has began to show some signs of the dreaded door rot on the lower right Quad Cab Door.It also has 2 small tears in the driver seat from the years of wear.Overall the truck is well maintained and taken care of by me.

Price is $20,000...NO TIRE KICKERS OR BS!
I will consider trades but am only looking for a 05-07 5.9 Quad AUTO.

I do not need to sell this truck however I would like too.The cost of converting it to a CR and Auto,plus the time to do it,I am sure I really do not have.It would be easier if I can find it a home and just buy a 05-07 and be done with it.Pictures are below and yes I am missing some interior shots but I will get them this week(actually never realized until tonight I didn't have any).The photos in the album are taken by me and some of the Comp D members who have seen the truck.They were selected to give you the best shots of the truck as it currently sits.I am certain I forgot something and if I see it I will post it.

You can reach me here VIA PM or by direct email at TDRHammer@gmail.com .Thanks gang For Looking............Andy

Before I will part this truck apart I will park it in the backyard and cover it up.
As I have stated already..I do not need to sell this truck so it goes complete or does not go at all.It may be a bit harsh but its alot of truck for the money and you could not build one for what I am asking for it at todays prices.

I also remembered I have a new set of Zenon Fender Flares for it,new in the box,never installed and a set of CIPA Power/heated mirrors also.Bed cover also goes with the truck as does a Mopar bedliner.For those who also who may ask,this truck has only ever hauled things in boxes in the bed since I bought it.Hauling stuff was meant to be done with a trailer and not the bed so it was never abused.
 
This truck is no joke if you have never seen it in person.

Bump for a sweet ride and a Harley rider with soot on his face!
 
Andy, if I could afford it I would love to have that truck and I'd even promise to never put a stack on it. Good luck with the sale!
 
Bump for sweet truck, Got a chance to see it a few years ago and man was it mint. Good luck on the sale.
 
Thank You Gang for the props!!

Daniel..
I haven't sent it down the road yet,relax.If I do not sell it then it will get repowered with a CR and a slushbox over the winter.

TJ...
Yes.its doesn't need a stack,LOL.Soot and the Red is not a good mix.

Travis...
I am glad the weather is finally getting to where we can ride again.
 
Dave he is looking for trades that match one of your rides.....
 
Andy you know I would buy this truck in a heartbeat if I wasn't a poor college kid. I really didn't believe you when you told a few weeks ago, but I guess its happening. The only thing I can say is the next one better be pretty kick ass to top this one.

Good luck with the sale bud.
 
WOW!!! totally bada$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck with the sale!
 
Wow nice truck, lots of cool mods, sounds like it was taken care of.


I wish you luck on your quest for 20K, it's definitely not a seller's market!

I'll bet ol' Swole would trade you straight up...... But then you'd have to read about Swole destroying your previous Pride n Joy 98'!

Free bump!

I beg to differ.. At least in the NW.. A friend of mine was already offered 17k for his mint 02 with 75k on it (for a trade in!).. A year ago he'd have been lucky to get 12k private party.. Another friend of mine is wanting to get rid of his Super Duty for a Dodge. I couldn't believe how much prices had gone up when I started searching for him. I'd call it a sellers market at the moment..

All you have to do is stroke the check!

Then its off to find another 05-07 CR.

Big Blue24....
Swole is welcome and yes I have seen his luck with his truck,crap happens.If he bought this one then it would be his and not my concern what he did with it.

I have one offer that was emailed to me and I will keep it as a reminder at how people think in this world...It was funny and I feel sorry for him and his beliefs......... Andy
