1998.5 24 valve P-pumped 71k miles
Here is the link to my ad:

This is a Dodge Ram with a Cummins diesel 24 valve.
The injection pump has been swapped with a 180hp p-pump out of a 1997 Dodge Cummins. It was rebuilt by Diesel Performance Engineering with 4k governor springs. It was balanced. My initial plan was to build the transmission and do some motor modifications. I lost interest in that and have just been enjoying a reliable ride. I don't tow anything and the previous owner didn't as well so it hasn't been worked or worn out. It would be a great tow rig or it could also be built for high performance and be taken to the track.
It has:
-FASS 150gph pump for a 12 valve
-12 valve timing case
-12 valve timing gear
-Dual line fuel supply to P-pump
-Killer dowel pin tabbed
-injection lines for a p-pump swap
-5" straight pipe exhaust
-Amsoil ATF
-recently changed fluids in Diff
-BF Goodrich tires with probably 70% left on them. Have a tread depth gauge
-Aluminum spare rim and non-ancient tire less than 5k miles on it
-dash from LMC trucks
-Gauges
-pyro works intermittently. May be a looses connection.
-Fuel pressure gauge. Not hooked up and meant for a VP44 not P-pump
-Turbo boost gauge works fine
-Have timing adjustment tool for p-pump
-Have new set of brake shoes for rear drums. Was going to replace them as preventative maintenance but didn't get around to it. They seem to work fine.
-New batteries (it was sitting for a wile so I swaped in some new ones)
There are some things that need attention. Such as
-Power door lock on passenger side makes motor sound but doesn't unlock or lock. Can do manually
-AC compressor or expansion valve needs replaced. Clutch engages with vent selector. Holds freon.
-2 of the 3 seat motors don't work. forward and reverse works fine
-Fuel gauge works intermittently.
-Horn honks when the relay is put in. I took the relay out
-Paint is in bad shape.
The truck runs well. I used it as a daily driver for about 25k miles set up like this. However, recently it has been sitting in my side yard for the last year or so. I drive it to pick stuff up every once in a while just to make sure it gets a chance to stretch its legs.
This is a good truck and has served me well. The guy I bought it from only put 37k miles on it up until around 2012. He didn't even have a trailer ball for it. There was a dodge emblem in where the ball goes and the pin was frozen. I towed a 17' boat that I owned a couple of times and then brought a car back on a trailer that I bought in Salem.
The reason I'm selling it is because I just don't use it. I use it to pick up plywood or furniture every couple of months but otherwise it has been sitting. It's too much truck for my needs.
I have a lot of paperwork showing the history of this truck. I did all of the work myself on it. I even did the alignments as I used to work at an auto shop.
