Truck was purchased for cruising around. It currently runs great! I wanted to make it reliable and had mechanic go over everything. The truck was never going to see a drag strip and slicks is why I didn’t upgrade to a 12 Bolt. I built up the 10 Bolt to handle what I wanted to do with it. The only thing we couldn’t get totally fixed was the vent selector in HVAC. It blows ice cold, but mostly out of bottom vent, but it will blow small amount out of dash vents. It moves to different vents, but it’s not fully changing. I couldn’t get this fixed without pulling the entire system out of the firewall. It was internal and they didn’t sell that specific item to fix, I had to buy a whole entire unit. It keeps you very comfortable in the summer. The heat works great too. The speedo is off about 10 mph. Going 70 mph is really going 60 mph. Switched out outer gear to help, it was off about 15mph, but this is as close as we could get it without getting into tranny and playing with those speedo gears. I didn’t worry with it since it doesn’t get driven daily. The dash pad has a crack in it. You can see in pics. Truck has 24k invested in it since purchased and listed work done.

I am listing this for my father. He is 73 years old and has had many "toys" over the years and bought this to cruise around in. He purchased an SRT8 Charger for more room and comfort. He lives in Florida and visits often to see me. He keeps this truck up here at my shop. We take it to lunch a couple times a month and take it occasionally for a 10-15 mile cruise down the highway to get all the fluids warmed up and flowing good. There has been no issues since we have done all the work.

Walk around truck with it running....
