List price is 39,999 but negotiable
If you have Q's, ask.
It's located in the Everett area in Washington State
99% of it's miles were on my freeway commute to Seattle (work construction)

I'm selling it because I'm moving on from modifying everything I own to being too busy with life to keep up on it. And my wife hates it (she's short), but I'm not desperate to sell, so lowballing isn't an effective method. I am however reasonable and negotiable. I know that aftermarket modifications aren't generally worth much, but the truck bone ass stock is worth almost 30k as a trade in, especially since I have title in hand. And no, I will not part anything out. If you want the parts, buy the truck and swap them with the stuff on your truck, then sell it. I don't have time.

As for trades, I'm only interested in a newish F150 3.5 EcoBoost, with low miles. If you have said truck and are interested in trading, hit me up. Otherwise, cash is king...or a certified bank note.

EDIT: I'm second owner, bought the truck with 50k miles on the clock

Anyway, the stuff that came from Dodge: 2013 Ram 3500, quad cab short bed, Cummins with 68RFE automatic transmission. It's an SLT, but has Katzkin leather, heated seats, sunroof, power rear window, 8.4" uConnect screen with backup camera, remote start, bed liner, and probably a bunch of other stuff that no one cares about (like the rear seat DVD that is there that I've literally never used...though 4 years after I bought the truck, I randomly hit the eject button on it, and the Sandlot came out. Well played, previous owner. Well played). This is about where the stock truck ends.

For the modification section, I'll list the stuff, how much it cost (for reference), and if I remember I'll put the trucks mileage when I installed it. The important number is, I've spent almost or a bit more than 40k in parts alone. I typically buy the best of anything that I can find, and I prefer OEM fit and finish when I can. Ok on to the hard part, actually remembering what I've done....

Engine:
H&S Motorsports 2nd gen style turbo kit, S364SXE with billet wheel (capable of approx. 550-600whp at highest tune)
Steedspeed CNC ported 2nd gen exhaust manifold
MM3 Tuner tuned by DRD (Double R Diesel)
EGR Delete
4" to 5" custom exhaust
All of that stuff cost roughly 8k, and was installed at 130k miles, and was done due to stock turbo wastegate actuator failure. If you know, you know.

Banks big bore intake manifold
Banks grid heater delete (use block heater when its cold, or it chugs for a few seconds on startup) - 1k for those 2
Black Market Performance Cat fuel filter mod (uses 11 dollar Cat filters instead of the 50+ dollar Chrysler units) - 400
New batteries 4 months ago - 360

Drivetrain:
Dynatrac Freespin kit - 2500
Replaced passenger CAD axle with a solid single axle (this is usually 2 axles with a disconnector sleeve) - 300
Nitro gear 4.88 gears, Detroit rear locker, AAM Powerwagon E-locker in front, all installed by Just Differentials in Cashmere @ 160-170k miles (summer before last) - 7000
Swapped BW44-46 electronic transfer case for BW44-47 manual case, all OEM swap - 1000

Suspension/Wheel/Tire:
Carli 2.5 Pintop with Carli radius arms, radius arm drop brackets, Carli trackbar, Carli spec'ed Deaver rear leaf packs - 10000
Fuel Covert 20x9 with 38x13.50 Nitto Terra Grapplers (2 years old, less than 10k miles) - 4000

Interior/Exterior:
This is where the story gets fun. As mentioned before, I like OEM fit and finish, so I swapped the interior and dash pieces when I did the transfer case swap, from the full center console to the Power wagon style floor console for the floor shift transfer case, all the associated dash pieces, and installed a center jump seat from a 2020 Ram 1500 (it was black, matched the black leather) - 1500 or so
Custom mounted Ram Mount tablet holder
Blue Sea systems USB charger ports with a Blue Sea fuse box mounted behind dash
My original 8.4 uConnect died last year, so I thought I'd be clever and buy one from Egay off of a newer vehicle to get the updated software. It was a great idea, until I found out the hard way that newer vehicles have the Mopar built in phone for their emergency call in case of a wreck...my truck did not have this option, so I get an error message when I start the truck. Jokes on me I guess. At least it doesn't affect functionality. - 500
Baja Designs LP4 fogs - 800
AEV switch panel - 100
Morimoto LED headlights - 1500
Decked drawer system - 1500

I'm sure there's more, but it's 11pm currently and I can't really think of anything else at the moment. If you've made it this far, the only other pertinent information that you need is that it's a truck. I used it as a truck. I camped with it, took it up shooting, playing in the snow, getting christmas trees in the mountains every year, towing my 7k camping trailer, hauling wood, dirt, gravel, etc.... What I'm getting at is, the paints pinstriped, and it has small dings in it in a few places. It's never been in a real wreck, though my brother bumped me on an icy road in the mountains with his TJ, and it creased the rear bumper, which I replaced with one off a low mileage 2017 truck (hence capped parking sensor holes). I've never once ran it on the highest tune, for fear of tearing the transmission apart.

On that note, its 180k on the stock original transmission. Internalize that before you contact me. It shifts fine and drives fine right now, but the 68RFE is basically on borrowed time even new from Ram. The only single time I ever abused it was one time pulling my trailer, I got too heavy on the fun pedal getting onto the freeway, and it slipped. I let off and babied it the rest of the day, and haven't had issues since, but it happened.

I'm not trying to pull a fast one or hide anything about this truck, I'm a fan of brutal honesty. So know this, it's been a work in progress for 4 years. I bought the best parts, and I'm a very competent mechanic (I've been working on cars over 20 years as a hobbyist), but this isn't a SEMA build, its a real world used truck. The mileage is high because I live in Marysville area and work in Seattle/Bellvue and drove it to school in Renton for years. Most of the suspension mods etc.... were performed after 150k miles, around the time I got a work van and stopped driving the truck every day.

I built this truck to never fail me off-road, because my wife and daughter and I go out into the mountains whenever we can, and this is why no expense was spared when it came to simplifying it.

Also, it has a 1.5"x 1.5" rust spot with bubbled paint behind the driver side front tire. I never did anything about it, because next mod on the list is AEV flares so that would have been cut out.
