What's My Truck Worth?
I am getting ready to part ways with my dearly beloved. This truck has served me well but in the past 9 months I have spent over $3000 and been stranded several hundred miles away from home and been out of service too often. I haul expedited freight and having a reliable vehicle is a must. It is a cab/chassis model and I don't see a listing for those in the NADA guides.
Here is what I have:
1997 Ram 3500 4x2 cab/chassis 84" cab-axle
12V CTD w/47RE tranny
11,000 GVWR
Dana 60 front/Dana 80 rear
AC, Cruise, Infinity AM/FM/CASS/CD, Delay wipers, 40/20/40 seat with flip down console (vinyl)
OEM aluminum wheel simulators (missing 2 center caps, 1 front, 1 rear)
12' Supreme dry freight body with roll-up rear door mounted dock high with crank down dolly legs or jack stands.
OEM rebuilt transmission was installed approx 80,000 miles ago
Right front wheel bearing/hub replaced approx 85,000 ago
Left front wheel bearing/hub replaced and front brakes approx 15,000 ago
Radiator replaced approx 15,000 ago
Lower front left ball joint, track bar and tie rod end replaced approx 12,000 ago
Throttle Position Sensor replaced approx 7,000 ago
Left rear axle stub and rear wheel bearings replaced approx 5,000 ago and also rear differential fluid changed.
Crank Sensor replaced approx 4,000 ago
Fan clutch module replaced approx 4,000 ago
Throttle Safety Recall performed approx 4,000 ago
Carrier/Center Support Bearing changed less than 1,000 ago
Could use 2 tires soon but other 4 are 75% or better.
Getting ready to turn 529,000 miles.
May stick this on Ebay but wanted to start at fair price. Any comments would be appreciated.

I think you can get about 5,000 for it. It isn't the age, but the milliage. Most non-Cummins people will think that is an amazing about of miles in your truck.
Good luck selling your truck,
Joe
