the specs

1996 Ram 2500, five speed four wheel drive, 203K miles.

Truck has many many mods. Too many to list but below is a list of what it has, that i can remember... The reason for trade or sale is I need a quad cab and a newer truck. Preferably STOCK. I have other priorities at the moment, thus the reason for sale.

Truck has
215 pumped motor, no major leaks
brand new transmission from standardtransmission.com
Valair inc single disc clutch
brand new flywheel

five inch straight exhaust with a six inch tip, side exhaust infront of right rear
AFE filter
100 plate
hometuned pump
full gauges, boost, pyro, fuel pressure on tapped banjo bolt on a triple A pillar
Truck is a solid 480-500 rwhp that is TOWABLE and easily driveable, street manners are great, but truck will come alive quick once the chargers light

Truck has more, but i cannot remember everything it has. this truck has its dings, it is a workhorse and is built to be a work horse with some go, but mainly for tow. I have a need for a quad cab now, and a not so modded truck. Of coarse it has the wear and tear of a now 12 year old truck with its dings, and battle scars from ranchwork and everyday life in a border town. But overall the truck is an awesome runner, and will tow what you hook to it without any issues. Average fuel mileage is 14-16 in the city and 21-22 on the highway. I have never had any issues with the engine at all either.

I am willing to work with you if you want the truck, and i will trade it for a third gen quad cab long box perferably, 4 wheel drive is a must, and an automatic is a must as well. But i do perfer to sell it outright. Do not make me any low ball offers, The truck is worth 12K to me as it sits with everything on it. But i am willing to take offers and work with you if you really want the truck.

this truck will make an excellent basis for a sled puller, or a solid ranch truck or workhorse. There is nothing wrong with the truck mechanically, i will drive it anywhere. If interested PM me, and we will talk via phone

Truck will go as it sits. But i will remove the tank and box for a discount ONLY, the rest goes with the truck. I of coarse, keep my tools and goodies from the box. Aux tank will go at least halfway full with the sale or trade of the truck as well, and i will include any and all stock parts and components I have at the house, includin two spare tires and rims

Thank you for your time! and interest

Pete-
It's a club cab.

Rick-
It sucks to see your truck go after watching you build it the past few years. If I had the cash I'd be on it in a heart beat. But I understand why you are selling it. Some stuff is just more important. I'll give you a call when I get a little time. I was gonna call you to see if you still had those 191s...
 
Sounds like a hell of a truck, good luck with the sale or trade!!!!
 
Thanks..

it is a great truck. But not what i need anymore...someone else can give it the TLC it needs or find more use for it..

Offers please.. this thing has got to go....


Oh of coarse the KDP was slain about four years ago. No worries with that. Valvoline synthetic gear oil in the pumpkins as well. New U joints as of two weeks ago. New starter and alternator as well. and the wastegate has been crossdrilled for all six cylinders

How many times do I have to tell you, I get the twins piping and bottom turbo. LOL
 
Tyler..

I am NOT parting the truck. It is a downright shame to part it after it took me this long to get it dialed in just right for a lil bit of tow and go. I want this thing to go to someone who will appreciate it like I did.

My last resort is to turn it back to stock and then sell it as is. But for that much, i think id rather keep it. I dont have the time to pull anything off of it. Much less do anything to it other than the tuning...

Im open to offers, But the most ill take off is the tank and box
