I am selling my fully restored, high performance 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 HD 4WD Club Cab Laramie SLT truck. I have $74,420 invested in the restoration and engine build (half of that cost is engine and transmission). I have all receipts from the work that was performed. I used this truck to drive around town after I retired using it only 2-3 times per week. I have put a total of 25,000 miles on the truck since it was completed in 2011 (odometer is 249201 miles). It has always been garage kept. I am selling it to finance my next project vehicle.
This is a super nice Texas truck with NO rust originally sold in Tomball and purchased by me from the 3rd owner (I believe) in Waller. I spared no expense from the body work to the engine and transmission to the interior. This truck is scary fast with twin turbos on the 12V Cummins and ATS stage 6 transmission (47RE with standalone controller and selectshift valve body). This truck will put out 75+ psi boost at full throttle. It is a true “sleeper” truck looking pretty much original expect for the 5” exhaust and Mag-Hytec differential cover. This truck has never been on the track. Listed below are the key points of the truck. I can’t list everything because it would take 3 pages!
