Im selling my 2005 dodge ram 2500 quad cab slt. I bought this truck equipped with a hemi and it was tired. I decided the next best thing to do was to give her more power! I removed the engine and  replaced it with a 150k mile 12v cummins from a 1997 pickup. behind that is a 47rh equipped with a heavy duty(not billet) torque converter with shift kit. before I installed the engine I replaced the timing cover seals, the tappet cover gasket, valve cover gaskets.  unfortunately with this swap I could not get all the gauges to function, in the original cluster the only functional gauges are the speedo and fuel gauge. I installed an oil pressure gauge in the left heater vent and a triple pillar gauge pod with boost, egt, and fuel pressure(fuel pressure not hooked up). the a/c and cruise were also never reinstalled. other than the gauges the truck is great I have put 6k to 7k miles on it since the swap was completed, Don't get me wrong you may find some things that need to be tinkered with, remember it was a hemi!  I drive it daily on a 80 mile round trip averaging around 18 to 19 mpg.  IF your looking for a brand new truck,, this isn't it!  it runs and looks great, fires up everytime!

also the digital shift indicator in the cluster is non functional as the 47rh has no way for me to make it read. also if you know anything about this transmission swap then you know there are 2 ways to make the overdrive and torque converter lockup function, I opted to use toggle switchs mounted to the left of the steering column below headlamp switch,  overdrive at 40mph, and lockup at 50mph has been my rule of thumb.

in the last year ive owned this truck ive replaced the following with new parts! all tierods with updated steering , new steering box, new intermediate steering shaft, new steering box stabilizer, new balljoints, dual steering stabilizers, front and rear pads and rotors, new rear calipers, bilstein front shocks, 

 truck has 2'' leveling kit in front, 1'' block in rear, Kelly safari tsr 315-70-17 with almost 3/4 life left, and dick cepek rims

exhaust is a 4''turbo back no muffler, sounds badass.

body has its typical scratchs for a truck this age, there is a dent/tear by the right headlamp about 3inch long, a soft dent behind right fender flare, rust spot along passenger side of hood, rust spot about 6in long on top of passenger door, rear bumper has rust but is hard to tell its painted black,

I would not be scared to drive this truck anywere,

interior is pretty clean, could use a recon, there is a rip on the edge of driver seat which ive had seat covers on since I bought it,

transfer case is a 271d, driveshafts are freshly balanced and rear has new u joints,

body has 190k, cluster says 124k, engine has 150k and trans was said to have 97k when swapped,

 

any questions feel free to text me at 607-201-8520

but DONT text me and ask if a/c and cruise can be installed or if I can make the tach work, cuz I cant,.

this truck is driveable as I do drive it almost everyday!!  it is not a piece of crap, don't assume that, its an  awesome truck , work truck, project truck, or just drive it daily the way it is,

 

it passes ny inspection , but I DO NOT  know it will pass inspection in other states. , no muffler, no cat, no computer,

here it gets inspected as a 3/4 ton truck which is safety only.
