2012 Ram 2500 SLT 4x4 — Mechanic's Special: turn your own wrench, save thousands
A Cummins-powered heavy-duty that needs a head gasket — my loss is your gain.

Good morning folks! These don't come around very often, so if you're the kind of person who turns your own wrenches, pay attention. This is a 2012 Ram 2500 with the legendary Cummins 6.7L inline-six under the hood — one of the most respected diesel engines ever built. It needs a head gasket, plain and simple, and that's exactly why it's priced to move. Everything else about this truck is in good overall condition for its age.

My loss is your gain here.

• 2012 Ram 2500 SLT, crew cab

• Cummins 6.7L Turbo Diesel I6, 350 hp — legendary diesel reliability once it's fixed up

• 6-speed automatic transmission — built to handle diesel torque

• 4-wheel drive — ready for work once it's back on the road

• Needs head gasket — the one thing standing between you and a serious diesel truck

• Around 251k actual miles — high miles, but Cummins engines are known to go 300k-plus with basic care

• Bright white clear coat exterior, dark slate/medium graystone interior — clean, presentable overall

• Very good overall condition for the age, outside of the head gasket

Nick's Take
Here's the real deal — this is a genuine mechanic's special. The head gasket needs attention, no sugarcoating that, but everything else on this truck is in very good shape for its age. If you've got the know-how to turn your own wrench, you can save yourself thousands compared to buying a Cummins truck that's already fixed up. These deals don't show up often — my loss on this one is your gain if you're ready to do the work.
