1954 Dodge Pick Up Truck.
Engine: 6 Cylinder flat head with 103,500 miles that are believed to be original. The engine was over hauled about 20k miles ago. Vehicle still has floor pedal starter. Pretty much everything is still original. Engine runs excellent, does not burn any oil. It does have a mild leak but I am not certain exactly where it is coming from, not a significant leak. Transmission: 3 Speed Manual transmission on the column. The linkage on the transmission needs attention. It has had issues with difficulty shifting into various gears that are not issues with the transmission or clutch. It is an issue with the linkage adjustment only. After discussing this with a transmission shop I am told this is a common problem with the cars that have three on the column manual transmissions. Apparently the linkage has a very specific adjustment pattern that if it is not adjusted properly has difficulty going in to gear. This is an easy fix and may be fixed this week, however I can not guarantee that so assume it still needs to be addressed. Interior: The dashboard has no dents or tears in it. The seats have been recovered recently. The door panels are relatively new, however they do not look to be the best quality door covering. The head liner is relatively new and everything else looks relatively new as well. Please see the photos for details. Exterior: Please look at the photos for details. I am not familiar with the history of the paint job. It looks to me like the original paint that was possibly painted over with the same color in an attempt to freshen up the paint without doing a complete re-paint. You be the judge because I can not tell. The paint looks to be in pretty decent shape, but by no means is it show ready. It would benefit from being buffed out, again please look closely at the photos as they will be the best indication of the condition of the paint job. There is no issues with rust. Look closely at the photos, there are a few areas where some surface rust may be starting, but there are no rust holes anywhere. This is a very solid truck. Brakes: The brakes need to be bled, I may have this done before the purchase is complete. Overall this is an excellent daily driver that needs very little to move into a show vehicle. Again please let the pictures be a guide as to the condition of the vehicle. The truck is all original and runs great. Please ask all questions prior to bidding. I hate to have to add this but due to others I must. You are not bidding to come and look at the vehicle, you are bidding to own. All bids are binding and must be honored. The vehicle can not be released until funds are cleared. |

Dodge and Jeep recalling 895k SUVs for possibility of headliner fires
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Dodge and Jeep are announcing recalls of a total of 895,000 Durango and Grand Cherokee models worldwide from the 2011 through 2014 model years. There's a possibility that the wiring in the sun visor can short circuit and cause a fire. It specifically affects vehicles built between January 5, 2010, and December 11, 2013, and there are approximately 651,000 of them in the US, 45,700 in Canada, 23,000 in Mexico and 175,000 outside of North America.
Screws that fasten the sunvisor to the headliner may pierce wires in the visor, if the part has been removed or serviced, potentially causing a fire risk. If the wires short circuit, they could overheat and potentially combust. The automakers report three injuries caused by this defect, and according to the investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "there may be a total of 52 unique fire incidents."
To fix the problem, Dodge and Jeep will inspect the vehicles for suspect wiring, and all of the models, whether damaged or not, will get a new sun visor spacer with a wire guide to stop the possibility of short circuits. According to the automakers' announcement, "this condition is not present in vehicles which have not had the headliner or vanity mirror serviced." They will notify affected owners, and repairs will begin in August.
25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns
Thu, 16 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.
