Well, the liquidation continues with the sale of one of my favorite vehicles. I had a nice '07 Dodge PW with an aluminum UTE bed, but never saw double digits in the fuel milage! So, I sold it, and started the look for it's replacement, which is this particular truck. Short story- needs nothing, everything works as it should, has no rust, and has tons of extras and all systems base lined in the last 5k miles. Also, she has the manual 4x4 selector, so no annoying solenoids to crap out at the most inopportune times!!
The base line included flushing the cooling system, flushing the tranny, change oil in engine, T-case and diffs. New ball joints, service hubs and bearings. New fuel filter and then a new fuel tank and pump- then another fuel filter- now clean as a whistle!!
Next came new +4" BDS front springs, drop Pitman arm, new bushings and extended sway bar links. The rear got a 1" higher block (one piece of course), and new Fox shocks all around. Then brand new 37/12.50-16 ND IROKs with 37" spare tire mounted to the bed. Also, bed has a nice toolbox and 1 ton lift/crane- never worry about physically loading the RTT which can be mounted on the bed!! And the flatbed makes loading boats on the Yakima rack very easy!
Then to protect the front end, a Sterling brush bar and winch mount, with new Ironman 12k# winch. The interior was in very nice shape, but had the driver seat refoamed and new factory cover fitted. Carpets protected with heavy duty molded mats. Window surrounds got Weathertech visors all around. And to see- front and rear mounted LED light bars- each controlled separately! And an extra set wired for reverse... Also added integrated Tekonsha Prodigy brake controller.
No telling what all I am forgetting, but the truck was built on the best and most durable platform and set up to travel cross-country. I have done several thousand+ mile trips without the first issue. Current miles are aprox 173K. which is just getting going good for these 7.3's!! No rust southern truck! And now for the price/pics:
$19,950 as is, or:
Deduct $1k to delete the 37's and substitute new 35" A/T's.
Deduct $1250 to delete the winch, mount and brush bar.
Deduct $500 to delete the LED lights- wiring/switches to remain.
UPDATES:
-has new 4" MBRP exhaust
