Hello everyone. Im planning ahead now, but I plan to sell ol daisy in the spring time. Daisy is a 1997 Ram 2500 with the 5.9 V8 and the 46RE. 4X4. Club cab. It has about 221K miles on it. I have no history on it besides my own. When it comes time to sell, heres what it'll have done to it.
New:
Intake gasket with alum pan
180 degree t stat
Coolant bypass hose
(Maybe) New O2 sensor
Valve cover gaskets
Valve stem seals
Timing chain and gears
Timing chain cover
Water pump
Oil pan gasket
(Maybe high volume) oil pump
Trans service w filter (adjust bands, new fluid, etc)
Fr driveshaft u joints (if they squeak again)
Rear pinion seal
Steering box output shaft seal
Shocks and struts all around (maaaaybe)
Fix the heat
Fix the AC
Fix E brake
Recently has:
RF wheel bearing with 100 mi
LF U joint with 7k mi
Right leaf spring shakle with 4k mi
Trans service with filter 10k miles ago
Oil changes every 5k with Mobil 1 high milage full synthetic
Front diff reseal with new fluid 500 mi ago
Spark plugs 50 mi ago
Cap/rotor/wires 8k ago
Recent alignment done by myself personally (done right) 10 mi ago
*all above numbers obviously will rise as truck is a daily driver - approx 20 mi / day*
Comes with:
Flowmaster Super 44 to side dump with dual tips
14x3 air filter
Fat Bobs Garage 2.5" Leveling kit
New RF headlight and 2 new fog lights
Only things that don't work that I don't intend to fix is the cruise control. Somebody snipped the wires going to the module and I don't really want to find out why.
In terms of factory options, i looked up the build sheet a while back.
Towing package with trailer brake, camper special, heavy duty package. Power windows and locks. Basically all the bells and whistles.
Now onto the body and interior. Driver and pass seats have the typical 2nd gen tear in the corner of the seat but they have covers on them. Ceiling has a small rip. Dash has a small hairline crack up by the windsheild. Otherwise, the interiors in pretty good condition. No big rips or tears or anything. No rear doors, the seats fold forward.
The exterior...ehhh heres where it gets bad. Both front fenders are pretty rotted, currently filled with expanding foam and bondo, as well as painted. Doesnt look bad. It needs rockers. Bed has tiny spots above the wheel wells but is rock solid otherwise. Has a bedliner insert. Those are the only rot problems, body is solid otherwise. Frame looks great, 100% solid all around. Has no major dents, just small ones. Lots of scratches and paint flaws, but they're small in size.
Heres a pic. Truck will not come with the 35s or 20s. It will come on either stock 4th gen 285/75/18 or nice 2nd gen 16s with 31 or 33 tires if i can find a cheap used set. Put the level to work.
It comes with all the stickers. Which sucks...cuz i love my stickers.
I live in upstate NY. I was going to list at $5,200 and let people work me down. Whats a good number to consider? With all the work ill have done, itll be a good first truck for somebody or a good work truck.
Thnx guize
