2006 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9L Cummins H.O. 4x4 SLT Auto Description

For sale is my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 SLT Lonestar edition powered by the i6 5.9 Cummins turbo diesel and the 48re automatic transmission which has been built. It is a manual transfer case model as well. Here is my personal insight on the truck followed with a recent maintenance log and then a mods list at the end.
This truck has been taken care of very well both aesthetically and mechanically. I do not drive the truck over 65mph period. I only drive 65mph while towing because that is where is the truck is in the power band around 1600rpm, on the other hand, when I am not towing, I usually cruise around 58-60mph around 1400-1500rpm. I drive these speeds for fuel economy and longevity of all parts including suspension and driveline. I change the oil between 3000 and 5000 miles depending on how many times I pulled my trailer in that interval. I have a local Cummins store that I visit to purchase and use the Cummins recommended fluid and filters only. The engine oil for these trucks is Valvoline Synthetic Diesel oil. Every oil change, all of the zerk fittings get grease including the front driveshaft. Fuel System Cleaner from Cummins is used every 3 months. I have never abused or hot rodded this truck as I have a car to do that to. The truck has been used as a daily driver and a toy hauler on some weekends. I don't really tow that heavy but to give you an idea of the weight, I pull a 20ft metal floor bumper pull car hauler and a 3200lb toyota which is nothing for a 3/4 ton. This truck has been nothing but solid as a tow rig and a daily. It gets around 18mpg average with the DiabloSport Predator Tuner on the "Tow" tune (which is where I leave it). The truck has plenty of power for me in this mode because I drive easy and the EGTS stay where they should. There are several aesthetic flaws on this truck, but mechanically it is top notch. Everything works including a/c, heat, 4x4, power steering, windows, locks (keyless), radio, etc. With the Cummins engine and a built 48RE and the proven AAM axles, there should be no driveline problems for years to come!
