Let me tell you about the car:

> The car is beautifully maintained. No Accidents. Just over 106,000 miles. Runs like brand new.
> I'm the 2nd owner. Carfax is super clean, check for yourself in one of the images or run your own. Service records are great. Has Never broken down, overheated, or given me any mechanical problems.
> Color is "Brilliant black crystal"
> R/T Model has the HEMI v8 with original stock 340 horsepower and 390lb torque!
> MDS technology drops to 4 cylinders when you're driving it lightly and keeping it under 65-70 on the freeway. This saves gas. I have averaged 19 city and 26 highway this way. You don't feel this at all. Hit the gas and it seamlessly goes full power. Just driving like an average Joe you'll probably get 21mpg all together.

UPGRADES:
More Horsepower! The car has all the upgrades you would probably want to do yourself to a Magnum:

> Diablo Tuner! Im including my i-1000 INTUNE brings the car to life, adds horsepower and improves gas efficiency. I use the "cold air intake 91 octane" tune. There are other pre-programmed tunes like the 93 octane for max performance and MPG tune which improves mpg. The programmer lets you completely customize the "feel" of the car.

> Magnaflow Exhaust - sounds awesome! gives you a real v-8 feel but not annoying. there's just a nice "hum" to let you know you have about 400 ponies at your toes.
> Volant Cold Air Intake - one of the best you can get for the Magnum. Sucks air from the bottom of the car so avoids hot engine air. I have extra filter cleaning kit. <a href="http://store.newlevelmotorsports.com/vocoairin20c18.html>read about id here: </a>

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Chrysler recalling 278,222 trucks and SUVs over bad rear axles

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road.
This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut.
Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
