I'm guessing at that price there is a bad body or some other significant part in failure.

Body and interior did not look that bad. The tailgate was missing and the rear was a little beat up where it had been removed. Looked like it was used for towing as much as anything.

If it was a turbo, there'd probably be one. Yes, I'm that warped.

Yesterday I called banks. they offered to send me an adapter pipe free of charge.

Like a sucker I turned them down and sent them $300 more for a new 4" from the turbo to the front of the cat back system.

I put new batteries in the Dodge today. Original equipment from 03. Not bad. I bought the best non gel batteries from AZone. Was it a mistake not to get the gel battery? It had less CCA.
