2005 DODGE RAM 3500 QUAD CAB ST PICKUP 4D 8 FT

Introducing the ultimate towing powerhouse: 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 Quad Cab 5.9L Cummins 6 Speed. This beast is not just a truck; it's a reliable workhorse with lots of recent maintenance and solid upgrades. The 2005 is a highly sought-after model year due to being one of the last available diesel trucks before def fluid was required; also called Pre-Def. This configuration is the ultimate package with a manual transmission, four wheel drive, crew cab, and dual rear wheels. The Dodge featured here was our own shop truck for moving cars around locally for the past 14 months. Watch a walk around video here https://youtu.be/JSg0DoOkRp8.

Now, let's talk upgrades, from the new South Bend Stage 3 Clutch (also we did a rear main seal while we were in there) to the Dynamat sound deadening under the new rubber floor. The truck has been mildly tuned for towing with a Smarty S-06 PoD Performance Tuner and Mishimoto Silicone Intercooler hoses installed. We did not want to over tune it as we wanted this truck to last for many miles! A Tekonsha Primus IQ trailer brake box was installed to safely utilize the trailer receiver or gooseneck hitch. The carpets were a bit dirty when we got it, cause it’s a work truck! So we removed the interior and sound deadening the floor pan then installed a full rubber floor. The rear features a Weathertech mat to catch in spills, muddy boots, or dirty kids. A Northern Industrial tool box in the back holds all your gear, straps, or tools with several sets of keys.

The audio system was upgraded by the previous owner. He installed a Pioneer DMH-2660NEX 6.8" - Amazon Alexa, Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay™, Bluetooth®, HD Radio™, SiriusXM-Ready™ - Multimedia Digital Media Receiver with a USB port in the dash. The door speakers were upgrades and powered by a Kenwood Excelon X801-5 1600W 5 Channel Amp. The amp also drives a pair of 12” Pioneer subwoofers hidden under the rear seat. The miles pass by when you are jamming tunes or talking on the phone with hands free.
