Vehicle Description
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

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.
