Default What should I sell my 1500 for?

So I'm planning on selling my 1500 to get a 2500 cummins and I'm thinking I should sell it for 10k but I want some other opinions. I live in new Hampshire so keep that in mind

Truck: 2007 1500 Dodge Ram quad cab short bed slt
Engine: 5.7 HEMI V8 MDS
Transmission: 5 speed auto.
Milage: About 150K miles.
Previous location before I got it: California
Transfer-Case: Electric shift on the fly with no auto 4x4.
Color: Silver
Brakes: 4 wheel ABS which i think was optional.
Tires: 285 BF Goodrich all terrain t/a (had 265 originally i think) and aftermarket rims.
Exterior equipment: Drop in dodge bed liner, rear hitch, 7 pin connector, light bar on bumper, rear window factory tint, locking gas cap,
Interior equipment: Overhead console, auxiliary fuse box in passenger foot well, ciggarete lighter, standard silver bezel, folding cup holder and folding front middle seat, standard CD radio with aux cord.
Recent work done: NEW engine, new front grille, new computer last i remember, changed battery, changed battery terminal and redid ground wire or so to be as thick or thicker gauge,
Rust: None.
Interior: very clean with heavy duty rubber floor mats.

What cab configuration? Look up some ads on craigslist, autotrader, etc to see what similar vehicles are going for.

Quad cab. I edited the post to reflect it and i saw 8-11k on blue book but those have the factory engine and etc. It didn't have the option for overhead console and some other stuff i had as well as didn't consider the fact it was out of state but it seems pretty accurate regardless.

Nothing to lose by setting your starting price where you want to.

Using my zip code, NADA says right about 12K. Assuming its in great condition. (given that its a california truck, probably so.) If you actually want to get 10K out of it, start at 12, and then the buyer will think they got a better deal.

Well I decided not to sell it. I'll find another diesel some other day but I need this one for right now.
