Notes
Has typical issues like headliner couple of
rust spots, however, not as bad as some.
Formerly an Indiana truck and does have
surface rust underneath but not too bad and
front exhaust pipe was replaced.
Radio reception comes and goes.
Needs AC recharge or new compressor
Passenger side window/door power switch loose/inoperable but
can all be operated from drivers side
Gas gauge works intermittently.  I usually filled up after I
drove about 450 - 500 miles (has a 44 gallon tank)
Usually got around 20 mpg when empty.  With the ladder
rack on you lose about 5 - 6 mpg due to wind resistance.
Filled up recently and currently has almost full gas tank.
Couple of the pics show when truck was washed.
TRUCK BED TRAILER IN PIC NOT INCLUDED
Ebrake and ABS lights come on while driving although
sensors were changed. Brakes fine no issues.
Also noticed the headlights were not coming on, another
typical issue.  Checked fuses and they are fine. So ordered
the switch which easy diy install - youtube videos on it.
Will include switch in sale which I just got delivered.
Comments
I have never had a dually truck before as
I am a car/suv guy. Very easy to drive as
it handles almost like a car because it has
IFS (independent Front Suspension) instead
of the solid axle that you see on 250/350.
So I loved driving it but due to covid and
not really needing a dually I don't drive it
that much. Also I did not tow that much although
I bought it to tow a  sailboat and a slide
in camper.One of the boats has since been sold.
Oil and Fuel Filter were changed at 163.5k miles.
New owner should do the oil change and optionally
fuel filter.
Please let me know if any questions. I will try to
post my answers for all to see.

QnA
Here is a question that I just got with my answers below
Did I miss ? ... if the KDP was done ? 4wd? Transmission? Rear end gear ratio ? Mpg with the camper ?
I have not done the KDP and don't know if it was done prior to me.
Not a 4wd - but has limited slip
Automatic Transmission
Not sure what the gear ratio is?? don't know where it might be listed or if the VIN gives a clue??
Have not towed a camper but noticed the mpg was lower like 5 to 6 mpg lower when the ladder rack is on.
Get about 20 empty.
Hope that helps!
Another question comments and info from a bidder below:
Has the trans ever been serviced or rebuilt?
Also, the diff gears can usually be found by a metal tag on the rear diff housing connected to one of the housing bolts and or a build tag in glove box if not damaged. Otherwise only a vin lookup can tell......
Thanks for the question and your helpful comments and info.
I have not serviced or changed the trans fluid as it didn't seem to present a problem and shifting fine. However, I do not know if these were done before me. So you bring up a good point and I would recommend for the new owner to maybe just do that along with the oil change.
So I did not find any info i the glove box but did crawl undeneath and found the tag. It had these two sets of numbers
2070205
354605593
Not sure what they mean but maybe you or someone else can chime in as I will post this info on the listing for all to take note.
Thanks
Here is info about gear ratio
Thanks, those number don't say what the ratio is but I was able to look it up on my Mopar account. 3.55.....

Q) Are you sure this is ifs? As far as I know all 3500s were a solid axle (2wd or 4wd) and only 2wd 2500s were ifs, also what’s the reserve price?
A) yes it is IFS. Here is a link to cumminsforum discussion on this topic and i am sure there are others

Q)
If be happy to bid on your truck but I need working headlight to drive it back to Philly. No light means I can't bid on it. Can you at least get that fixed? Thank you
A)
Sorry, both my wife and I have had a few doctor's appointments and cat scans (kinda unusual both having this around the same time).
I reached out to my mechanic who is actually in Baltimore and he is not able to get here in time.
So best option for now would be to have folks drive it during the day. At least they will have the switch.
Should be able to do DC to Philly during the day??
Thanks
