I may just trade in my Ram 1500 3.9L V6 instead of doing an engine swap like I wanted to previously.
What can I do to increase the value of it? It only has 150k on it and some minor body damage.

As stated then go to the dealer [and go fishin] see what they'll give ya WARNING it probly won't be anywhere your thinking it's worth. Do your homework,go to kelly blue book and see what the ranges are [as far as worth] be realistic,go to craigs list/truck trader ect. compare what others are selling for [in the same or close] condition,you may be better off sellin it yourself for a better price.

And work the dealers, work em and if you want more walk away and maybe they will meet you near what you want to pay for the newer truck.

Well I do need to replace the windshield because it has a huge crack. I need to fix up the interior as well. Im not trading it in for a newer vehicle, just trade for trade, hopefully. Do you think the dealer might prefer stock exhaust over dual exhaust?
Also kbb value is roughly $3000. I paid $4000 for it.

I don't follow, you mean you are trading it just for cash?
