What a TOOL. Never opened the hood to check the oil?? (AND can't count 1-2-3-4-5-6?) Oh wait, he KNOWS it has 8 cyl. Thought maybe he couldn't count past 5 and that's why it's a 5sp!

37k? I think he better check for an exhaust leak that has infiltrated the cab space. Or maybe the leak is due to only having 5 speeds; cant go fast enough to have the exhaust exit behind the truck!

I don't think that he's really from Fl. He's probably a transplant from up north. Us rednecks know what a Cummins is...

Talking

Well heck my 2004 was listed as a Ram 4500 with a V-10 Diesel in one online ad, listed as a Ram 1500 Dually With a Diesel in the local paper, and on the Dealers website was listed as a Ram V-8 Diesel

I wonder though the Owner of that truck didnt post the auction that company did it for him so was it their fault or his?? I hope theirs

When I was looking for my truck, you wouldn't believe how many mistakes like that I saw. I even walked out of a Dodge dealership when the sales manager was argueing with me about the transmission; I told him Allisons don't come stock in a Dodge pickup (they sold Chevy too).

Of course it was. You can only get the PowerJoke as a V-8. Don't you know that everyone buys the Dodges for for the truck part and the Fords for the PowerJoke

Oh wait, that's Bass Ackwards. God I wish I could get my 5.9 ISB in a F350.

You guys obviously haven't heard about the straight-8 7.8l Cummins turbodiesel that was out in 2005. . Instead of a center console, you could just set your drinks on the valve cover. Works great keeping your coffee warm. It is incredibly rare, justifying the 37k pricetag. So rare that none were made...

You might want to go back and re-read it. The interior is gray. Exterior is listed as Burgundy.

Few years ago when I was looking for a boat to buy, the owner told me that his inboard/outboard had a 6 cylinder engine. I lifted up the engine cover and instantly see a 4 cylinder. I said, you told me it was a 6 cylinder! His reply, I really don't know, I've never lifted that engine cover before!! I didn't buy that boat.
