The Engine
5.9L Cummins HO Turbo Deisel. 147,000 original miles. Professionally installed Banks performance system and dual exhaust. The truck gets continual compliments on how good the dual exhaust sounds. The engine is equipped with a block heater for winter operations. The truck was manufactured before all of the government DEF mandates so no DEF or expensive ReGen canister system to maintain. The truck passed all emissions tests in its life. Oil changed regularly with Royal Purple 15w-40 and Fleetguard filters. Recent oil change and new fuel filter. Fuel filter was replaced with Baldwin fuel filters. This engine is in incredible shape, blows no smoke and has been well maintained.

The Exterior
The truck has been garaged its entire life and its condition reflects that. Besides the normal wear and tear there is no sun fading on the paint or rust on the body. The under carriage is clean with no caked in mud, damage, or rust. The headlights are clear and have daystar bulbs for excellent nighttime visibility. All windows are in perfect, uncracked condition. The paint is in great shape, it is two tone, Atlantic Blue Pearl over Bright Silver Metallic. The truck has front and rear auxiliary lights; two 2” BlackOak Front Lights, and two 2” BlackOak diffused lights in the rear bumper. The Truck has a Rhino Roof Rack, professionally installed with a 30” BlackOak light bar on the front and two 2” diffused lights on the rear. So, in case you lost count, there are 6 extra 2” lights and a 30” light bar. If you go remote, you can light the night up. The bed is lined with Rhino lining and has a Bak-flip hard bed cover. Inside the bed are professionally installed mounting rails and a Reese 18,000lb sliding fifth wheel hitch. The hitch is included with the truck unless you choose not to accept it. The truck has aftermarket steps/running boards with the 3rd bed step option, manufactured by NFab. The tires are Cooper Discoverer AT3 285/75 R18, they are paired with Black Rhino 18x9 wheels. Tires are essentially new with only 1000 miles on them. The truck has a 2” lift kit. The truck is four wheel drive and has automatic locking hubs which allow you to shift into 4wd on the fly. It has 3.73 gears in an 11.50” rear axle. The fuel tank is 34 gallons.

The Interior
The interior is also in great condition. It is a very desirable tan color, the Dodge factory name is Taupe. The seats are leather and heated with no tears, cracks, or damage to them, front or rear. The front seat is a 40/20/40 split with the center console able to flip up to hold a total of 6 passengers. The center console has great storage, and the flip up middle seat has an additional storage compartment underneath. The front seats are both power adjustable. The Rear seats are a 60/40 split, they flip up flat against the back and there is storage underneath with an extendable, flat cargo tray. The pedals are power adjustable as well. There are several aftermarket switches for the auxiliary lights and banks performance system, they are high quality switches and were installed to appear factory original. There is an FM/AM stereo with 6 CD changer that works great, factory Infinity speaker system, no blown or bad sounding speakers. Mounted next to the radio is a Panavise phone mount and dual USB charging ports. The interior of the truck I would consider in near perfect condition, the only noticeable defect is an oil stain on the rear, driver side floor carpet.
Some common questions I can answer in the ad;
-No interior smells, non-smoker, no pets, etc.
- Never been in an accident
-AC and Heat work great
-Heated seats work great
-No leaks bumper to bumper
-The only known issue is the cruise control turns on but kicks off after a few seconds.
This truck is in incredible shape and will not last long. It has low miles, none of the pesky, expensive DEF systems and has been meticulously maintained. There are many options the original owner selected from the dealer, I mentioned many of them above, see the window sticker photo for a complete list. I am not interested in trades and will only accept CASH or meet at your bank. This ad will be removed when the truck has been sold. Thank you for your interest. Someone will be driving an amazing truck soon.
