2006 Ram 3500 DRW Laramie MegaCab (The Patriot Missile)
« on: November 06, 2015, 01:41:43 am »
****FOR SALE****

This is a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 DRW Laramie Mega Cab. Mileage is currently 130,500. I am the original owner and have used this truck for personal towing of a 5th wheel camper, horse trailer, boats and various utility trailers.

The exterior overall, is in excellent condition; truck has never been wrecked or flooded. The paint is in very good condition, no rust or blemishes.
The interior is in excellent condition as well, no worn areas or tears in the leather upholstery.  The dash panel and plastic has no gouges or scratches. A few of the radio’s control button’s lights have burnt out over time.

Over the course of the past ten years, I’ve gradually built this truck into a heavily modified performance-towing machine. I’ve accumulated over $33,000 in parts alone, not to mention the labor as some of this has been supplied by friends, and myself or hired mechanics. I have receipts for practically every part listed. Before the last upgrade build, I had smaller turbo’s and 90 HP injector nozzles, the truck produced 626 HP on a dyno, since then, larger turbo’s and nozzles were added.
Listed below are the parts mentioned above:

Garmon Stage III Full Billet Transmission
Twin Turbo 63/75
Hamilton Diesel 183 / 220 Cam
Hamilton Diesel Billet Pushrods
Hamilton Diesel Valve Springs
ARP Head Studs
ARP Rocker Studs
Fluid Dampr
BD Intercooler
Speedsteed Exhaust T4 Manifold
Dynomite Deisel 120 HP Injector Nozzles
1 Piece Driveshaft
Dual Exhaust
Dyna Trac / Warn Manual Hubs
Dyna Trac Ball Joints
AirDog 150
Carbon Fiber CFM Intake
Fresh 33% Over CP3
Ravelco Security System
50 Gallon Transferflo Tank
A/C Grill Protector
Red Top Optimum Batteries
Pac Brake Rear Air Bags
SuperGlide Frame Mounts
SuperGlide Gooseneck Hitch (needs pins and rails)
2" Superlift Front Coil Springs Leveling Kit
Bilstein Shocks
Weld Racing Wheels
SRT Hood w/ S/S Insert
ATS Front Fender Flares
NightRunner Headlights
4 Isspro Gauges & Mounts
Braided Stainless Fuel Line,
Transmission Cooler w/ AN Fittings
Toneau Cover
Rhino Lined Bed
Smarty SO6 Tuner
EFI Live Autocal Tuner
Husky Floor Mats
Mopar Running Board
EBC Brake Pads
Gino's EZ Drain Plug
BD Steering Stabilizer
In Bed Trailer Plug
Bed Mat
Boost Tube
07' Steering Upgrade
Prodigy Brake Controller
Custom SRT Billet Badging

The reason that I’m selling this truck is that the majority of my time driving is on the interstate. I’ve began shopping for a 2015 Ram 2500. As nice as my 3500 is, I’m older and looking for more comfort.
I’m listing the truck at the NADA price guideline with about an additional $9,000 for the upgrade modifications.
A person can certainly find another model truck like this at a less price, but probably not with all the upgraded performance parts included.
Asking $37,500.
For any questions or more photos, contact Walt @ 504-214-5791 or email me at [email protected]

Thanks!

That's the plan Chad. Going to make this one a highway cruiser, no plans for modifications.

Gonna miss the performance, but the amenities will soften the hit. Besides, if I want a thrill, I'll slide into the vette.

Yeah, the end of an era is right, I've had this truck for 9 years, had a great time here at DOF.

Man, lucky for the new owner. It's been fun watching it and to bad things didn't pan out a little different;  I had to pick up a new ride in July due to our durango snapping a connecting rod.  Had that not happened, we would have at least been talking about the purchase. 

What's the new toy?  I didn't see anything listed up.
