I have a 1996 cummins i bought a couple months ago off a guy in arizona and barely even drove it 20 miles. I bought the truck and got home with it and drove it to town and back and noticed it had oil in the antifreeze so parked it and havent had the money to fix it. Everyone has told me it needs a new oil cooler or a head gasket. The wiring on the truck doesnt look the greatest and the gauges need rewired. The truck doesnt have any back seats or front drive shaft or the nitrous lines or front and rear bumpers and needs exhaust. I was told when i bought the truck he would bring them with him when i met him in texas but then when i met him he "forgot" them and told me he would ship them but tried to call him and never heard from the dumb*** again. Im going to be completely honest i dont know much about the truck and im going to paste below what he said was done to the truck on ebay. The truck ran good when i drove it and im not goin to have the money to fix it or repaint it like i was wanting to so my loss your gain. I have around $9200 in the truck after i put new fuel tank straps on it, new clear headlights with blue bulbs. I know its not worth that but i want to try and get what i can out of it without loosing a bunch of money. The tires are about 80% and he said it has like a 4 inch lift and air bags in the rear. email me with any questions and i can haul it for fuel money within 8 hrs from zip code 64455. Like i said i dont hardly know anything about the truck and im not a mechanic so dont ask me a bunch of stuff about it. There is no rust on the truck just some dents need fixed and some new paint. I pasted what he said was done to it on ebay below........
This is a 96 dodge with one hell of a motor and tranny in it. the motor i built myself. The motor only has 7k on it. It has stock pistons that have been cut and coated. Custom cam and valves. Fire ringed head and block. 12mm studs. The has been ported. Custom injection pump that runs 13mm plunger and has a set of 5-13 injectors. One the dyno made 783hp and 1491tq. That was on motor and it has a stage of nitrous. Which has never been used. And the turbos are a s364 and a bell 8980. Which they are a 64mm and a 80mm turbos. It also has a 60mm external wastegate. In the picture i took the truck has a single on it but i am putting the twins back on. Will have pictures up soon of the twins. The tranny is full billet. Hard shaft all the way and the converter also. The tranny was just gone throught 10/5/09. All new clutches were put in and a different valve body was put in for racing. The coverter was just gone through also and a lower stall was done.The front diff is a dana 60 that is open but has full axels insted of the factory 2 piece. For the steering i have done away with factory and did DOM with heims. The front suspension is custom also. I did long arms that are made of 2" DOM with poly bushings and smooth ride coils. The rear is a dana 80 that has a posi. The body is a little rought. I got hit in the truck by someone who had not insurance. The body work was all done and just never got the truck painted. Thats all the truck needs is paint]
agreed with all of the above statements. 8k is WWWWWWAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY too much for a truck that looks that way and you dont even know what is wrong with it. I will give you $2,000.
Who built the transmission?
well if you would like to offer more than $2000 than i will gladly take you seriously and tell you about it. Otherwise quit wastin my time and takin up space on my page.
I was simply asking a question. Out of curiosity, i would also like to know what cam, injection pump, and valves were used. Not doubting that its built, but when somebody asked on the first page if it drove like it was built, and his question went unanswered, i was a little skeptical. So, does it drive like it is built? The word "custom" is not a direct replacement for specifying the brand of the product either, and frankly, it comes off a bit ricer-ie.
well i dont care to hear your crap or the other guys that want to make stupid offers. What do you expect to get for $8000 dollars? You go buy a truck, buy a built tranny, twin turbos, build a motor and put some new tires on it and tell me how much money you have in it then. Maybe if i spend 2000 and give it some new paint and do a little rewiring it will fit your standards and the others that offered 2000 for it.
like i said i put this truck on here to sell not for you guys to sit here and tell me what you think of it. Would that tick you off jason czerak if you was tryin to sell your 04.5 with 700+hp for 23k and i offered you $8500 for it cause it wasnt up to my standards?
Atleast im bein completely honest about the truck and not bein like the guy that sold it to me and didnt tell me what was wrong with it and screw me. And im goin to lose alot of money but still make someone a good deal
curits, do you happen to have a hood and hinges for a 1996?
