TEN YEARS LATER!!



2004 V10 XLT 4.30 4X4


Well guys I join this forum back in 05' when I was looking for a truck. Bought a Dodge 3500 Cummins because of the 6.0, and it's been great. Under suspicious circumstances my air filter "tacoed" I dusted the motor. So while I figure out what's next I needed a truck so here is my nearly 10 year old fix - satisfied. We'll see...........

Great choice. The V10 with the 4.30's is regarded as a great combination. Any plans for it?

She's a beauty. How many miles on her?
Hope you've got some good maintenance records.
I love the FX 4 decal.
One of my favorites, Choo Choo Mama. Ow, that was Ten Years After!

Does not look like a ten year old.
No dents or rust spots.

Nice.

If you don't mind can you say how much you paid?

It's a local SoCal truck since new, bought from original owner. Good maintenance and it's as clean as it looks in the pic-84Kmiles. For the looks department I'd like to add 18 inch wheels, leveling kit, BFG's and some kind of boards. For power I'm thinking of a Y-pipe, cat back, and an SCT tuner. Don't know much about it, just what I've read on here. I think I got a fair deal, about 2,800 under book.

Purdy truck! That Cummins is tough but I've seen the rest of the truck fall apart around the drive train on them Dodges. A buddy of mine has the same year as my SD, the interior is shot. He attempted a dash replacement, failed, now being sold as "some work required"...

Why are all the pictures on a car lot? Did the guy decide to sell on consignment originally and then changed his mind?

It's beautiful stock, why reduce the look?

Rake adjustment I can see. Looking to do that on my 01 bass boat hauler.
I'm looking to change the paint on mine. White/gold Lariat look (gold bottom) with custom accents. I've some metal work before that, but that's the plan.

Welcome back!

Looks really nice, although its a shame what happened to your Dodge. It needs a new motor?

I think it's in order at this point - still runs good, makes good power, but burning oil heavily and has blow by. Kept it perfect for 325,000 maintenance only miles!

Sounds like it time for the proverbial "Dodge in your garage"
I'm still a dodge fan on many levels, thinking back to my Mopar days...

That is a really nice looking truck. Looks like it has been taken care of. Good engine and gear combo too.
