Thinking about trading in...
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.

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?
