2004 Dodge 3500 4x4 - Legendary 5.9L HO - Upgraded Trans - Passed Jan

Description

[If you're looking for a workhorse that isn't choked by modern emissions sensors, this is it. This is the 5.9L High Output Cummins—no DEF, no DPF, and no EGR. It’s the pre-emissions setup everyone wants for reliability and longevity. The Mechanicals (The "Good"): Engine: 220,000 miles. For a 5.9, this is barely broken in. It starts up perfect, runs cool, and pulls like a freight train. Transmission: Upgraded. The weak point on these stock Dodges has been addressed. It runs smooth and shifts exactly how it should under load. Recent Wins: Just passed CA Smog in January 2026. Drivetrain: 4x4 works perfectly. This is a heavy-duty 1-ton truck ready for a 5th wheel or a construction site. The Condition (Being Honest): Interior: I’d call it an 8/10. It’s been well-kept, non-smoker, and is way cleaner than most work trucks you'll find from this era. Exterior: The paint on the hood and roof has seen better days (typical California sun wear). It’s not a show truck, but it’s a solid, honest truck with a clean frame and no rust. Price: $18000 Location: Imperial Beach / San Diego area I know what these trucks are worth, and I've priced it to sell. You won't find many 3rd Gen 3500s with an upgraded transmission and a fresh smog cert at this price point. Serious buyers only—come take it for a drive and see for yourself.
