Picked this up for the map sensor and a few other odds and ends, 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 5.9 diesel Auto quad cab short box:











Going to take the wheels for my truck. I need a few sensors off the motor (which fingers crossed they are good. If the leather seats are good I will swap the covers. There is quite a few things I have been looking for and part out what is left. Believe it or not but there is actually a lot of parts left.

Now my question is, this truck being a laramie and mine is just a slt, I want to put the radio controls in, power pedals, possible the infinity stereo amp and speakers. I have pulled the entire wiring harness out of the donar truck already as well as everything involved for the mentioned items, Is it possible to jsut pull the harness apart and hook it up to mine, or will I have to swap the entire dash harness? I wish Dodge did like the other manufacurers and had one harness and taped accessory pigtails that werent used up.

Second, my Dad has a 2006 Dodge ram 2500 long box diesel, and was thinking of taking the overload springs out of the 3500 and putting them in the 2500. Only problem with that is the brackets welded to the frame on the 3500 that the springs rest on when there is weight in the box. They are not on the 2500, so is there anyone that makes a bracket that can be bolted onto the frame in its place?

Thanks in advance.

This was obviously a turbo Nitros backfire! Notice the classic twisting of the frame!
Hey I'll take the center console top and the pass side A/C vent!!!!

The blue 05 was in a hard head on collision, It hit so hard the tcase, tranny, and motor were separate from each other. The block was busted. Torque converter broke out of the tranny and off the flywheel, only 2 bolts held it to the flywheel. The wheel you see on the right front of the truck is actually the Left front wheel. The frame split infront of the box on the right hand side and twisted up like a pretzel. This truck was a mess. But there was alot of good parts for myself

For what I needed off of it, I got a smoking deal. Took 2 tow trucks to bring all of this to the shop.
