01" Ram 2500 4X4 Quad Cab Sport (Red) Short Bed V-10 Auto 41,000 Miles & Mopar Warranty.

I purchased this truck 11-05 to tow our snowmobiles back and forth to Northern Michigan, at that time it had 32,000 miles on it and now has 41,000. Last year my wife was diagnosed with "MS" and we've since sold our snowmobiles and no longer need a truck. It truely breaks my heart to sell it but, it has been our 3rd auto for too long in our one income home.

I called my local dealer approx. 3 months, the Depts. Part Manager ran my VIN to fill in me on the trucks options & equipment. He said it has every available option except: Cummins-Leather-8 Ft. Bed. I asked him about the the Diffs, He stated the front is a Dana 60 and the rear is either a 70 or 80 (I can't remember). The Ram has 4:10 gears w/ rear anti-spin along with 4 wheel disc brakes and ABS. The man I spoke with stated that it has the factory Off-Road-Snow Plow-Heavy Duty Towing w/ Mopar hitch-Handling (sway bars)packages. There is nothing light duty about this truck period.

Besides the fore mention options, I'll include a few more plus some aftermarket add-ons. A/C-Pwr. windows & locks-Pwr. remote & heated mirrors-tilt-cruise-overhead console w/ digital display, trip info. & fuel info. & map lights-Pwr driver's seat-Pioneer 8700 In-Dash Am/Fm/CD/MP3/WMA 50x4 watt player with remote- Rockford Fosgate Door Speakers- 500 watt Amp (Not a teenagers "Thumper" system, just sounds really good)- Keyless Entry & Remote Starter ("Viper" aftermarket add-on).

The truck currently has Goodyear Wrangler MTR'stires inwhich need replaced, this is a off-road tire that DOES not help the ride & handling quality of this truck. I'm willing to work on the price considering this but, I will not give the truck away! I have many tune-up & maintence parts that I have yet to install but will include with the purchase of this truck. Taylor Ign. Wires- Bosch +4 Spark Plugs-Radiator Hoses-Serp. Belt-Front Brake Pads (I was driving in town and heard the common brake squeal so I bought new front pads, turns out they didn't need replaced. I'm thinking the brakes just got hot from the stop & go traffic). This truck has the "COMMON" exhuast rattle at idle. I spoke with my dealer and he stated the Cat. Convertors are known for this and these items are still covered under the Mopar Warranty. Just so you know, I'm straight forward and honest.

I'm trying to post a pic however, I'm new here.I can email pics upon request, my email address is zrt800ho@yahoo.com Truck is located in Northern Ohio (44889). Thank You, Dan

BTW, the Mopar Extended is more than a powertrain warranty. It covers the majority of the truck, power windows, power seat, A/C system, and so on. Thought I'd let you knowthat it's not the basic warranty. I believe Mopar requires a $50 transfer fee to the new owner.

Anyone who did not recieve a reply from me, I have since disabled some programs to stop automatic email filter/spam guard. I have received several IM's via Yahoo asking why I haven't replied to those emails, I never received them. If you want pics of the truck, I have approx. 30 pics taken at 12megapixels. Please make sure your email service will allow transfer of larger files. I can email 4 pics at a time via yahoo. I should have downsized the photos but, I wanted detailed/quality pics. Thxs Dan.

Sorry to hear about your wife. It's a hard thing to deal with. I have a friend at church whose wife has MS. Shes only mid 30's. I've seen you over on arcticchat also. I talked to you about my zrt 800. Was curious about your truck. What would it take to buy it? How fast do you want to sell it? Just starting to look for another one. "Dustycat"

 

Well, I thank you. My wife's situation is unreal. Was I able to help you out with your sled? I don't exactly remember you yet, I'd need a refresher. Point blank, I have to get right around $12,000 for it. It's worth much more than that considering all the extras. It does have one dent in the rear bumper, it happened this past winter at the U of Toledo Hospital when I was backing into a handicapped parking spot with my wife. I could see the sign however, the truck sets so high that I couldn't see the yellow barrier around the base of the sign. It occured at maybe .5 mph. Anyhow, shoot me a email address an I'll pass along the high res. pics. Thxs Dan

P.S. Please pass my prayers along to your friend. Encourage this person to become informed about this terrrible disease. From knowledge comes strength and power. Make sure she's aware of Devic's disease (NMO) and that her nuerologist tests her for it. Required testing is a basic blood test and MRI of the spinal cord. If her Nuerololgist refuses to test her for it, tell her to find a new specialist. Devic's can be fatal if it's not found and treated correctly in time. Not trying to scare anyone but, over 30% people with Devic's are misdiagnosed with "MS". This information is available from the "Mayo Clinic's" online research findings.

 

Several people have had problems receiving the large pictures that I took of my Dodge yesterday evening. I have resized/shrank the pics by 75% for proper sending & receiving. I can now post a few here as well. I apologize for everyone's troubles.

 

Finally...
