A 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 SLT Dually equipped with the 5.9L High Output Cummins Turbo Diesel and a 6-speed manual transmission is widely considered a "holy grail" configuration by diesel truck enthusiasts. Because it lacks the complex, modern emissions systems (like EGR, DPF, and DEF) introduced in later years, this specific era of the 24-valve common-rail Cummins is famous for its extreme reliability, longevity, and ease of maintenance.
Powertrain & Performance Specs
- The Engine: The 5.9L High Output (HO) Cummins Inline-6 features a Bosch high-pressure common-rail fuel system. In early 2004, the HO version factory-rated at 305 horsepower @ 2,900 RPM and 555 lb-ft of torque @ 1,400 RPM. If it is a mid-year "2004.5" refresh model, those figures bumped up to 325 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque.
- The Transmission: The 6-speed heavy-duty manual transmission (typically the rugged NV5600 in this configuration) gives you absolute control over your gear selection, maximizing power transfer to the ground and making it incredible for heavy towing.
- Drivetrain & Tires: Features a true mechanical 4×4 system with manual or electronic transfer case options. The Dual Rear Wheel (DRW/Dually) setup uses LT235/80R17 tires, offering massive lateral stability when hauling top-heavy trailers.
Capacities & Towing
- GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): Rated at 12,000 lbs. This means the total weight of the truck, passengers, fuel, and tongue weight/payload combined can legally reach up to 12,000 lbs.
- Payload Capacity: Because the dually axle distributes weight across four rear tires, this truck boasts a massive payload capacity, safely allowing you to carry roughly 4,500 to 5,000+ lbs directly in the bed depending on the cab style (Regular Cab vs. Quad Cab).
- 8-Foot-Long Bed: The full 8-foot bed maximizes cargo volume and easily accommodates a fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitch without needing a slider mechanism. The factory or aftermarket spray-on bed liner provides robust scratch and corrosion protection against heavy cargo.
SLT Trim & Interior Amenities
The SLT trim level was Dodge’s highly popular mid-tier option, striking a balance between utility and daily driver comfort.
- Power Conveniences: Equipped with one-touch power windows, power door locks, and power-adjustable heated side mirrors.
- Cabin Comfort: Includes standard air conditioning, cruise control, a tilt-adjustable steering wheel, an overhead console with a trip computer (compass/temperature readout), and cloth 40/20/40 split-bench front seating with a massive fold-down center storage armrest.
- Audio: Factory AM/FM stereo with a CD player (often paired with the premium Infiniti sound system option depending on the exact build sheet).
