I agree, nice truck.

Thanks, although I wish it had a dump. Working on getting next years wood even though this drys out pretty quick.

I picked this up in 2019, gambled on spending the money since it didn't run, have had to do everything from have injectors & pump rebuilt, rewire pretty much every light, change all fluids and filters, paint, remove all the PTO cables and re-lube, put 4 gallons of hydraulic fluid in it. But now she's a strong runner that dumps. Well it dumps when empty, hesitant to load it and then find out it won't dump a load, then I'd have to unload by hand....

When I bought it.


As it looks now.

Looks like a good truck!

Nice truck. Seems like every truck I looked at needed a little TLC. Im still fixing and changing things on mine. Should have got one a long time ago.
What motor is does it have.

This one's got a DT-366, not a huge power plant, but its all mechanical therefore I took the chance. If it had any electronics, I would have walked away.

Agree 100% on mechanical. Mine has the 5.9 cummins

From what I heard, the motors are about the same size. (in Liters) I 've been looking for a Ram 2500 with the 5.9 cummins, good engine!

Depends on what series of the B series 5.9, some of them had a lot of issues.

Yes, was it the series 53 or 57 block had the weaker casting? And then the alignment pin issue in the water pump, but all in all the 12v was a good quality all mechanical motor.
