The following general information is web-sourced and may contain variances from the subject unit:

This is a heavy-duty commercial work truck setup built for serious municipal or commercial winter maintenance, towing, and material hauling.   Powertrain: Cummins 6.7L & 6-Speed Manual

• The Engine: The Cummins 6.7L Turbo Diesel inline-6 engine is legendary for its torque and longevity. For the 2011 chassis cab models (like the Ram 5500), it was factory-rated at 305 horsepower and 610 lb-ft of torque. Because it is a commercial chassis cab, it uses a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system requiring Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to meet emissions standards.
• The Transmission: The 6-speed manual transmission (likely the G56) is a massive asset for a dump and plow truck. Manual gearboxes are highly favored in winter maintenance because they give the driver absolute control over gear selection, preventing the transmission from hunting for gears or overheating while pushing heavy snow or pulling out of deep mud.
• The Drivetrain: This is a 4WD (four-wheel drive) truck with a single-axle, dual-rear-wheel (DRW) configuration. It rides on heavy-duty 225/70R19.5 tires, which are standard commercial-grade tires designed to handle massive payloads and high inflation pressures.

Dump Body & Premium Cab Features

• 10-Foot Steel Dump Body: A 10' bed on a Ram 5500 provides an excellent balance of high material capacity and maneuverability in tight spaces (like residential streets or commercial parking lots). Steel construction means it is rugged enough to handle heavy, abrasive loads like broken concrete, gravel, and rip-rap.
• Comfort & Convenience: This truck is equipped with the power equipment group, meaning it has power locks, power windows, and power mirrors (highly convenient for adjusting towing mirrors on the fly).
• HVAC System: The standard heating and air conditioning (A/C) system ensures driver comfort during long summer hauling days or freezing all-night plowing shifts.
• Upgraded Electronics: The addition of an aftermarket TFT color monitor is highly functional for a truck of this size. It is typically tied to a backup camera or a blind-spot camera system, which is crucial for safely reversing a dump truck on busy jobsites. It also features an upgraded audio system.

Tarco Spreader & Rexroth Controller System

This truck is outfitted with a high-end, commercial-grade ice control package:

• Tarco 9' Stainless Steel V-Box Spreader: Tarco (built by Tarrant Manufacturing) is a premier brand in municipal snow removal. A 9-foot V-box fits perfectly inside a 10-foot dump body. Being stainless steel (S/S) is a major premium; salt and brine are incredibly corrosive, and stainless steel ensures the hopper will last for years without rusting out.
• Hydraulic Type Drive: Unlike cheap electric spreaders that struggle with frozen materials, a hydraulic spreader taps into the truck's central hydraulic system (usually driven by a Power Take-Off or PTO on the transmission). This provides immense fluid power to break through clumped salt and sand using a heavy-duty conveyor chain and spinner mechanism.
• Rexroth CS 420 Controller: The Bosch Rexroth CS 420 is an electronic, cabin-mounted joystick or dial control console. It is a highly precise, closed-loop or open-loop controller that lets the operator manage the exact application rate of the salt. It regulates the conveyor speed (how much material leaves the truck) and the spinner speed (how wide the material spreads) relative to the vehicle's needs.
