Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / June 2005WANTED: '02 dually
im seeking a 2002 dodge cummins 4x4 dually with the 6 speed manual transmission, preferrably low mileage. i want patriot blue exterior with charcoal interior, and not drilled for bug guards or steps. ive found a couple online but they all had the 3.54 gear ratio which i feel is to high for what i have in mind. surely 410 (or atleast 373) were available with the manual tranny?

I'm down to two :) > Only two now? How do you manage :-) Which ones do you still have? The two wide-bodies... '95 3500/V10 and '03 3500/CTD Just finished putting tires on both of 'em... got about 55K out of the BFG Commercial/TAs on the '95, and about 47K on the stock Goodyear POS's on the '03. Both are wearing Michelin LTX M/S now. 12 tires... ouch :) Still got that V10 huh. How is your paint holding up on your 95? My 97 is really starting to suffer from a delamination problem on the hood. The part that really pisses me off is that the paint still looks new. SignatureIf at first you don't succeed, you're not cut out for skydiving > > Only two now?

Fine, except for the spots on the front fender where I apparently dripped battery acid :) Other than the usual chips and scratches, I can't complain about it. Are you sure that it was battery acid and not delamination? Maybe it is just the 97's or with my luck, my particular truck. What color is yours?

Well, it's in a drip-type pattern down the left front fender. Pretty sure what happened there :) > just the 97's or with my luck, my particular truck. What color is yours? Blue/gray. Or, in Mopar-speak, "Dark Pearl Blue/Light Satin Driftwood". Uh huh... looks gray to me. Ok, same color as mine so that rules out a particular color. Mine did look silver but is turning gray on the tops of the fenders. The delamination is on the hood where it is blue and most noticeable. Oh well, at least it's not rusting and I'll probably repaint it next year anyway.

Not wanting to run in O/D? The Cummins has the guts to pull with the higher gears - that's not much of a problem. > Not wanting to run in O/D?

SignatureNathan W. Collier http://7SlotGrille.com http://UtilityOffRoad.com I have an '04 dually with 4.10s and I would love to swap to 3.55s. The new 6 speed has plenty, plenty low gear and the final with 3.55s should be worth a solid 2 mpg.
