What are those finned aluminum things on the sides of the transmission?

Nice truck and agree it’s a great combo of Dodge options. You should have no problem selling it!

But this also feels like we’re slowly losing control of the word “overland”...

That was done a long time ago sir

Yes, that’s a fair point!

I just didn’t imagine tainting a “stock” or “original” 12v Cummins with the word overland for no reason. Ew.

I agree, look pretty cool, cant imagine what is driving off of the PTO like that? I have a few cool thoughts haha

Flux Capacitors.. ? Seriously though, they’re transmission coolers. Gives extra capacity

No tainting intended. Yes, it’s stock. The overland moniker is due to its capacity to be transformed into an amazing base for an overland build. We searched the country for one. Because if your deep in the backcountry of the US or Canada, or in Centra or South America..there are NO electronics, parts are readily available, they’ll run on any fuel, they’re made to maintain and anyone who can wrench a tractor or truck, can fix your rig. They are rare, and every one I’ve seen in this good of condition, has been an automatic and gone for between $27-$32k. Check out Down2Mob on YouTube for an example.

Just a bit of tongue in cheek criticism...no harm intended.

You have a nice, rare truck.

No need to sell past the sale as they say...
