Same exact thing Zac said.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

John can I bring you a check for 17,500 and drive off with the truck?

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Love to see some pictures of the interior. Particularly The rear seat leg room area. We need a bigger truck and I've not been that impressed with the standard four door dodge leg room. I'm hoping the Mega Cab has more room. Post up a couple for me....you know, to show the wifey.

[MonteC]

yes it does. ginger mike has one and it is HUGE!

[1998ta__1991rs]

i fit comfortably, thats saying a lot

HHP must be paying good baller:poke:

[ForceFed4g63]

Wish I had SBM money, I'd be all over this.

[1 Slow Z]

The leg room in back is roomier than any other 4 door truck. My wife drives her Mega Cab everyday and absolutely loves it! She would choose that truck over me anytime, especially cause its red like me!

[04ctd]

SBM, sent you a PM

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b170/04vrscb/MegaCab/DSC07207.jpg

forgot about this, it has leather power seats in front, and cloth in back.

never bothered us, so i never bought covers for it

and every time i have seen take off OEM seat covers for the front or back, they have had a major rip or something. i have a "saved search" on ebay, but have not seen any good ones.

not a big deal, just wanted you to know.

[DRTRAYDEUCE]

nice truck! I believe I bought some red tops from you if so I seen this truck and its awesome.

[04ctd]

nice truck! I believe I bought some red tops from you if so I seen this truck and its awesome.

yes sir!!! i was the RedTop man for a while!!



tks, it broke my heart to go to bed knowing SBM was getting his $cratch together to buy it. i hate to sell it, but life changes

[04ctd]

Welp, before all this, the truck had had an injector acting up, and I got advice from a thousand different places, and I thought I had it fixed before I posted it FS.

I let it sit for long periods in the back yard, and everyone said injectors were sticking due to inactivity. And everyone said to put some motor oil in the fuel, and that should lubricate the injector enough to make it act right. (Some people use Lucas, some chain saw oil, most swear by tranny fluid on every fill up)

If an injector hangs open, the fuel drains into the crankcase, and the level on the dipstick goes UP. They call it "making oil" on the forums :( make SURE you check the dipstick if you look at a used diesel.

It had ran ragged once and the oil level went up once, then we changed the oil, added oil to the fuel, and it was good for a week or two...then, the level went back up a bit.
That is when I took to SBM in person and let him eyeball it, and we chewed on it a good bit.

So...here is the kicker, on a Dodge common rail, you really cannot definitely tell which injector is leaking...so you "might as well" replace them all, And we all know how "might as wells" go...if you don't do them, everyone gets to say "I told you so...ÔÇØ


So now, it has an issue, it is still drive-able, but I would not tow with it.


And now.for todays Bible lesson:


Matthew 7 Build on the Rock (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7&version=NKJV)

24 ÔÇ£Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

26 ÔÇ£But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.ÔÇØ


Now, when everyone reads these versesthey think of one thing: I built on the sand or I built on the ROCK!!

However, that is NOT what the story is aboutthe story is in the prelude:
ÔÇ£And the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that houseÔÇØ
If you noticebad things come in threes or fours.And they come on the sinful (thieves & crooks) and on the righteous (the girl who got her Junior Dragster sold?)

So...bad things happen to good & bad people, and they tend to happen all at the same time: my wife quit her job, my daughters family is moving up here, and tis the season to go to Wal-Mart.

Therefore, I need to move it, without doing the injectors out of my pocket.so:
It iswhat it is

i popped it up on Ebay, since most folks who buy a diesel, do NOT leave it stock, they put new injectors in it & hot rod it, so maybe I can find a buyer there:

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Such a nice truck. GLWS John.

[oldskoolstang]

It is a sweet truck. Doesn't sound like to expensive or hard of a fix.....

[04ctd]

this ole girl is still setting out back.

had it on CL, had some interest, but nothing serious.
we been driving it as needed, the oil level went back up on the dipstick, just abit, and no more.
stayed steady ever since. so maybe the motor oil did help it, and it just needs to be drove regular.
I been driving the bike to work.

the other Diesel shop in Mt P will do them for $2900, parts & labor, (maybe + tax)
that would be new Bosch with 12m/12k warranty


buddy called today, he needs to move some money around.

offered me $55k worth of stuff for $35k. was thinking if I could move this truck, I might pick up his toys, from up north, bring them home, and flip them for a profit, since it is still riding weather here.

IDK.
