1993 Dodge Ram 250, Cummins Diesel 5 Speed 4x4 extended cab, 2500, 152,000 miles

Description

If you are looking at this auction you likely know what a rare and desirable truck this is.
This is one of the nicest 1st gen ram Diesel trucks you are going to find. I bought this truck several months back from the estate of a acquaintances father. He was the original owner. This was a true one owner truck owned by an old guy to carry his slide in camper. I had planed on putting a flat bed on this truck and using it as my farm truck. Its just too clean for that and I can't bear to do it. Pictures don't do this truck justice. It really looks and drives fantastic and people make nice comments all the time.
Truck has 152,714 miles as of today. It is increasingly difficult to find these trucks without tons and tons of miles as they run forever. This truck has decades of service left in it.
Carfax results show this truck was regularly dealer serviced. This truck is stock, stock, stock: Fuel settings have never been messed with, air box never cut. Never messed with down to the original radio, exhaust and hub caps.
The original owners son told me the truck was repainted by the dealer to correct clear coat issues. This truck is straight, and totally rust free. The paint shines and the doors open and close tightly, no slop or bad door pins, windows and door locks work well, windows are fast.That being said this a a 24 year old truck it is not perfect:The power mirrors work but the passenger side one is lazy/slow. There is a ding behind the drivers side rear wheel well about the size of a quarter that you can see from certain angles. There are other small dings and paint chips as well. Tailgate has some wear and the chrome decorative trim panel has some damage on the drivers side as pictured. The truck has a drop in plastic bed liner and diamondplate bed rail caps. I pulled the bed liner for pictures and it is rust free, original paint and dang near perfect, it literally has one dent in the bed.The carpet is about what you would expect of a well maintained 24 year old truck, there are some spots, discoloration, etc. Dash instruments all work properly. There are a few tiny holes that have previously been drilled in the dash but they have been filled and are hardly noticeable. Seats are comfortable and in good shape. Drivers side seat has one approx 1" long split that has been repaired.I've gotten between 19-21mpg in the time I've owned this vehicle. This truck drives excellent. Starts instantly regardless of temp. Transmission shifts smoothly, syncros are good, no clunks or odd behavior trans is overfilled with synthetic 5w30 as is recommended. 4x4 works, the transfer case makes some gear noise at speeds over 45mph but fluid looks clean and was recently refilled with gear lube. Truck drives arrow straight and brakes work smoothly and stops straight. Tires are in good shape with more than half of tread remaining. Original (and in my opinion) super ugly hub caps are included. Weatherstripping seems good, I have not noticed any wind noise. Steering is tight.I have done my best to point out every little thing wrong with this clean and honest truck. If you are looking for a clean low mile, rare 1st gen Ram this is about as good as they get. I would encourage anyone interested to come for a test drive if possible. I would not hesitate to drive this truck anywhere and am willing to deliver anywhere within 1000 miles of my home for $1 mile. I am also happy to coordinate with any local shipping companies or pick you up from the airport if you win this auction. Please email me with any questions or picture requests. I reserve the right to end the auction if the truck sells locally.
