I am selling my 2011 Dodge 5500 Crew Cab SLT in Great Condition LOW reserve, of $27,500
Had a utility service bed on it, didn't see much towing, has been well cared for and it shows throughout
It has 118k miles, and runs like a champ

Engine is clean, tight, no smoke, starts right up in cold weather, no leaks, recent oil change and service, nothing to report with the engine

Transmission is tight, functions as it should, shifts well, has the tap-shift on the gear selector so you can choose which gear you want when towing or using the factory exhaust brake

All driveline gear is in great condition with newer tires, new shocks, etc. There are no loose joints, odd clunks in the front-end, it really drives great, you can tell its a 5500 with no weight on the bed, so the ride is firm in the back, but when going over bumps the front-end feels just like it should, drives straight, doesn't pull etc. 

The bed has been removed and is ready for whatever you want to put on it, the wiring for rear lights and trailer are nice bundled up ready for you to work with, the 2 rear taillights as needed wired in, the old bed was bolted on so there is no odd cuts or welds on the frame. 

The fuel tank is huge, not sure how big but I just went 700 miles on 1 tank

Exterior condition is great with a ranchhand grill guard, as you can see in the pictures there is no speakable damage, dents, or scratches, there may be a minor scratch or 2 but I don't know of them, the paint is shiny and looks great, the undercarriage is in good shape, no leaks so its not all grimy underneath and not rusted out, just looks as it should. 

The interior is in great shape as well, with the exception of the drivers seat tear on the side that you can see in the pictures and a minor stain on the drivers seat itself, maybe it would come out with a detail but its there and should be disclosed. Other than that there are no major problems spots, naturally it has been used so its not brand spanking new but its dang close. It is not the base model truck so it has carpet with extra sound dampening, built in trailer brake controller,  power windows, locks, drivers seat, etc. Remote keyless entry, Uconnect bluetooth speakerphone, cd player, Sirius Sat. radio, 110v power outlet, 4 normally cigarette outlets,  tinted windows, etc. 

Overall its a very clean truck that will impress, it runs great, functions, great, not a whole lot of bad to say about it. I am able to take more pictures, but its snowy, but overall the pictures won't show much more than you need to know, its a clean truck. 

The only issue other than whats stated above is on my last trip (700 miles) a notification on the dash came on that said "Service DEF System" thats the Diesel Exhaust Fluid, so I stopped into the dealer, he hooked up his laptop and said there were some codes all relating to the DEF system but nothing that was conclusive, he didn't see a specific problem, and he doesn't know why the message came on, he topped off the DEF fluid, He said he's seen that message come on the the fluid gets real low, other than that he said maybe its because its freezing, although the computer should know better, (it was around 2 degrees that day). All in all he didn't know why it came on so he reset the computer. I have done some research and I too haven't found any conclusive info, I did learn a lot. The fluid is injected into the exhaust pipe about halfway back and is used to aide in the clean burning of the exhaust, it is not cycled through the engine so I feel good about that, its literally a supplement system that if you choose to do so can be disabled, delete, whatever. I have also learned that most failures are the pumps, which after checking into, a new one from the dealer is somewhat pricey, but a working one on ebay is a couple hundred bucks and takes about 20 minutes to swap over since theres not a bed on it access is great. 

So take that as you will, again I want full disclosure, the message came on and thats about it. Maybe it will for you maybe it won't regardless it doesn't seem like a problem that effects the engine or reliability. 

I will be available until the 9th for the auction to end and truck to be picked up, otherwise I will be unavailable until the 19th. so if you buy it, plan on flying out in the next day or so to drive it home, or your going to have to wait

you can call or text me at 970-672-6396 for questions, specifics, pricing, etc. 

I have only sold 2 vehicles on ebay and have not had any problems when the buyer sees the vehicle I try to be descriptive and have the vehicle ready to go, I would not sell something I wouldn't trust myself as I know you are most likely coming from out of state and need something reliable.

eGarage interviews a couple with 65 Vipers

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

Owning multiple vehicles can be a hassle worth enjoying if you're willing to spend the time and the money required to acquire and maintain them. But when it's hard to make ends meet while underused valuable hunks of metal, plastic and rubber sit happily taking up garage space, journeys into the depths of other people's well-developed automotive obsessions will either bring you and your cars closer together, or compel you to sell them off before you become one of those fanatics. A recent video by eGarage is one of those journeys, and it's not for the faint of heart: D'Ann and Wayne Rauh own 65 Dodge and SRT Vipers in a collection of automobiles that exceeds 100.
We're not sure if the couple has developed heat-resistant calves from stepping over Viper door sills made burning-hot by side-exhaust pipes, but we wouldn't be surprised if they did. We did learn that their obsession with the no-holds-barred sports car started in 2006 with a trip to a dealership to buy just one Viper, which goes to show how innocently car obsessions can start. But the Rauhs seem to be doing just fine - perhaps better - 64 more Vipers later.
Watch the video below for the full story and to see what eGarage claims is the world's largest Viper collection.

How Dodge dealers are earning the right to sell Hellcats

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

We all hate the idea of the dreaded dealer markup when it comes to buying a highly anticipated new car. Take the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, for example. You might spend hours reading about its supercharged V8 and speccing the model just right in the configurator, but when it finally comes down to laying down the cash, the dealer adds thousands of dollars as a "market adjustment" on the muscle machine of your dreams. As it turns out, when the Hellcat starts hitting showrooms in the third quarter, Dodge is trying to make sure that's not the case.
Dealer orders for the much-hyped Hellcat recently started, but Dodge boss Tim Kuniskis has put some special caveats in place to ensure that the Hellcat makes it to the road quickly. The initial allocation is based on the number of Dodge products that a showroom has sold in the last 180 days, and a second allotment in December is based on the last 90 days of sales and 30-day turnover. "You sell a lot of Darts for me, Journeys for me, Durangos for me, I'm going to give you the rights to this one, too, because this is a halo of the brand," said Kuniskis to Automotive News.
Furthermore, how quickly the Hellcat sells is also going to decide whether showrooms get more of them. "If you want to market-adjust the car, that's your right. But if your days-on-lot goes above what the other guys that are selling them at MSRP is, they will end up earning the allocation because their days-on-lot will be lower," he said to Automotive News. Obviously, this doesn't prevent dealers from marking up the Challenger SRT, but the strategy certainly discourages it.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has 707 glorious horsepower [w/video]

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Hold onto your butts. "600-plus horsepower" is what we were told to expect from the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 engine. But as we've just learned, those were incredibly conservative numbers. Dodge has officially announced that the range-topping Challenger will hit the asphalt with 707 - seven hundred and seven - horsepower, making it the "most powerful muscle car ever."
Of course, 707 hp is only part of the story, as the Hellcat has also been confirmed to produce 650 pound-feet of torque. All that power will run exclusively to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission that differs from other Challengers. The new gearbox, 8HP90 (rather than the 8HP70) is "upgraded to handle the extra power and torque," says Dan Reid, SRT's manager of product design and motorsports.
We certainly hope you're prepared to spend a ton of money replacing tires.
