1998.5 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually 5.9L 24V Cummins (NON-53) Diesel 5-speed Manual
1998 Dodge Ram 3500 Description
Up for sale is a very presentable Dodge Ram 3500 dually; designed to be a bit rough around the edges but very charming and fun to drive, stealthy matte black in appearance with minimal chrome, and an exhaust note that is divine...
For its age it is in excellent condition, and the last few years it has received plenty of TLC with many new mechanical and body parts in order to make it last another twenty years of service. Among the items replaced are; turbo, clutch, upgraded 5-speed manual transmission and much more. Also, this is a "non-53" block engine; one of the good ones... ;-) Do a google search on :Cummins Diesel 53 block casting problem" and you will get more useful information, good to have at hand when in the market for this vintage Dodge diesel.
So below is a list of what has been done to it the last few years (from 134,000 miles), receipts are available for most of it.

Under the matte black plasti-dip the truck is multicolored; white (8 foot) bed, red doors, and blue trunk door. Body and frame in quite good condition, some minor bubbling on the wheel arches of the front fenders is in essence the only body rust.

Also, I was not able to add a "Make an Offer" button, not sure if it is possible when selling vehicles...; check out the CL ad (or message me here on Ebay) if you would like to place an offer; if accepted I will lower the Buy-It-Now amount to reflect it, and you can go ahead and use that function instead.
