My late father always emphasized the importance of "investing in yourself for a better future." I truly understood this when I encountered issues with my credit report. It became clear to me why investing in my credit was essential. I reached out to H A C K M A V E N S CREDIT SPECIALIST for prompt assistance, and they exceeded my expectations. In just three days, my score soared to 809, and all negative items, including liens and Chex system entries, were removed.

Love my Hemi

I have always been a Chevy guy. Till my Chevy caught on fire 2000 miles from home. Needed to replace it in Texas and found this 2005 Dodge Ram quad cab Hemi. Im sure I paid too much for it but I was stuck and needed to tow my trailer cross country. The 5.7 Hemi with over 200 K pulled that trailer like it wasnt even there. What a BEAR this thing is for towing. Interior very nice and roomy. I slept in the back seat comfortably. Steering rack had been replaced at 150K so thats excellent. With 240K on it now, I have only had to do maintenance like brakes and ball joints. Only complaint Ive had is the drivers seat material is very week and falling apart. I highly recommend this Hemi Ram thats for sure.

Amazing Truck!

Bought the 2005 with a 5.8 Hemi and and I love the growl when you hit the gas. Good on gas for such a massive engine. 130,000 miles for $6k and could not be more proud. A few small things need attention ( windshield washer pump & seat belt tensioner) but those are easy enough. Def worth it to me!

The truck we own has been undeniably the best veh.

Our dodge 1500 has been a dream vehicle. Good gas mileage etc. until the driver seat mechanism broke. Now it is unsafe to drive. We have been told by dealers that no warranty is available for replacement parts or seat. This is unacceptable!!!! The same seat is in most of the same models in newer models. If I die in this truck, expect my family to sue you for negligence!!!

Greg the vet

The vehicle I purchased was a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 liter v8 hemi with approximately 150 k miles . The truck was in very good condition from the interior to the exterior. There was no body rust . I will be utilizing this truck for work and transporting my kids from time to time . This truck will meet my needs . I have friends that drive ram trucks with the hemi with 280k and 320k thousand miles on It so I hope to get the same with proper care .

Great Truck for the Outdoors

This 15 year old has been a great truck. Our family has enjoyed this truck. It still has its power and then some to tow boats,trailers, and weekend toys. This truck was our family Glamis truck for 7 seasons. We want it to go to good home and owner who will enjoy it as much as we have.

I inherited this vehicle and man it is a beast.

The 5.7 Hemi is nothing to play with it has all the power you need and when you push on the gas pedal the response is immediate. The vehicle gives you an amassing view of the road due to its height and the style is simply beautiful. My brother in law bought this truck new and took very good care of it and I feel blessed to have it now.
