VIN : 3B7HC13Y5XG239454
Title : Rebuilt
(1999 1500 Dual Cab on 1997 3500 Frame and 1996 12v Motor)
Pink Slip In hand w/ Bill of sale
Currently registered / insured
Mechanical
: 8/10 Condition
(Stock 12v motor. Very healthy. All sensors work. No mods or fuel system upgrades other than the upgraded transmission and kdp kit. Leaks a few dribbles of oil at when sitting. Starts up and drives every-time. All maintenance up to date. Trans is beautiful to drive with compared to the factory. Grabs hard and won’t stall backing up in reverse while on a serious incline. Factory Turbo has shaft play, but doesn’t smoke or lose boost. Motor mileage is true to cluster. Cluster was transferred from the same 3500 donor)
Exterior
: 7/10 Condition
(Decent for its age. Better than most 90’s rams. Small dents/dings, touch up paint, front bumper was backed into, dent on driver door where someone tried to break into it, hood needs realignment - looks like whoever did the engine swap took off the hood and didn't put it back to factory spec. I can see where the hinge markings from factory. front bumper plastics are a bit faded. Cab / Bed are two different whites. Passenger Rear fender flare has surface damage. Bed has been modified to fit the side exit exhaust (also included with purchase. I would call this a 10 foot truck. It looks amazing when you are 10 feet away Once you get closer, you can see the imperfections/age.)
Interior
: 7/10 Condition
(Overall its clean, but has a handful of small wear/tear issues. Driver seat needs two plastic pieces. Small patched hole in lower middle jump seat, missing small vent on passenger upper dash area. Someone broke the drive recline handle so I use a vise grip whenever I need to adjust it. Ice Cold A/C & Hot Heater, but flap door only works on two modes. Defrost & Foot selection. Will need to be replaced if you want air to come through the center dash vents. Dash vibrates a bit, but It looks like someone had bonded a dash cap to fix the common cracked dash issue. It is more than presentable. Definitely in the better of shape category for a truck that is 20 years of age. Rear door was modified to fit larger speakers.)
Suspension
: 8/10 Condition
(Can be driven with 2 fingers, all of the suspension was beefed up to get rid of the original sloppy steering setup. Alignment is a tad bit off. Passenger rotor needs to be resurfaced. Frame is in good overall shape with NO modifications, NO damage & NO rust issues. Front wheel bearings + front suspension was upgraded/replaced @ 190k)

I know I'm missing more, but you get the idea. I have been building a 12v 96’ compound turbo 4x4 single cab with a custom flat bed during the whole lockdown time period to replace this truck. It should be done with paint and body soon. I had transferred over any of my compatible upgrades like my stereo, external gas tank, towing stuff, and aftermarket gauges. Everything functions on the truck. There is no gremlins or hidden headaches. I could leave the truck to sit for a few weeks and still have it crank over like butter. The truck’s coolant temps rest at about 180 degrees constant. EGT’s/Trans temps and boost are at optimal performance levels. I rarely see it rise unless I am towing uphill. All gauge readings are spot on where they should be with no check engine lights or fault codes.There is no concerning rust other than the typical flash stuff. It used to have an external fuel tank in the back. I have left the custom dual fuel filler on the truck since my new truck runs a extended version, but I just capped it off. All wiring that had originally been tapped for electronics has been properly restored to its factory state.
I've owned it for about 3-4 years now. It has never left me stranded. I just do the maintenance, watch fluid levels, grease the ball joints, and put quality gas with nice fuel additives. I usually
run BG Diesel fuel cleaner through the tank whenever possible. I also run Rotella + Lucas oil stabilizer. I haven't touched or replaced the trans or diff fluid since owning it. Front suspension was rebuilt @ 190k miles. During that install, I changed the oil and mopar filter. I had also changed out both front wheel bearings at that time since one side froze up on me while towing. Ball joints are inspected/greased regularly.
The ONLY thing that hasn’t been replaced in the front suspension was the steering shock stabilizer. I also replaced the air / fuel filter since I had them laying around. Valve lash and oil change will be needed in about 2/3k miles.
I am a car enthusiast / knowledgeable car person so ask me any
technical questions needed. I will answer them to the best of my abilities.
My details listed here are on point so you can fully understand what you will be buying.
If you are coming from a far drive, I can also
FaceTime
you an inspection before hand just so we both know that my communication is tight.
I don't
want either of our time to be wasted. I have made a few drives out of states to pick up cars and have dealt with my fair share of people. I have gone through it so I want this to go as smooth as possible with both parties happy with the transaction.
If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to know more about the truck.
Please just ask me.
Purchase comes with a side exit exhaust, new factory tail gate, maintenance stuff, and whatever else I have for it.
