I'm selling my truck to purchase a new one. No other reason. I'd keep it, but having 3 diesel trucks seems a little excessive to me.
It's a '98.5 . For Dodge '98 was a split year, half mechanical motor (12v), half electronic (24v). Originally came with a 5-speed. It's a Quad Cab, Long bed, 2wd. Driftwood in color (gray).
First the bad.
Here's what is wrong with it...
* Speedometer doesn't work (It's the ABS module) I am throwing in a GPS Navigation unit that displays speed, avg. speed, max speed, altitude, direction, travel time, stopped time, direction, etc. etc.
* Fuel Gauge doesn't work below 1/4 tank. I have a new fuel sender I'm throwing in as well
* Drivers side power seat doesn't work (It's the switches, motors test good)
* Drivers Seat has a Nifty tear, but I am throwing in a spare lower seat cushion that can be re-upholstered
* Dash has a few cracks, along with the dash bezel missing a few pieces
Got that over with, here's what's up....
