This is a relist. The winner of the last auction is a deadbeat.

1952 Dodge Power Wagon (Military M37)            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_M37

 We are not sure when this was converted to a Fire Truck. 

Our Fire Department has used it as an active brush truck since the mid 90s. 

I have personally taken this truck on many fire calls.

The engine was rebuilt around 2004.It runs and drives with a few issues.

 

The Larger of the issues is the Rear Differential. 

The drive shaft turns but the truck does not move. 

We have not opened the rear to see exactly what is wrong. 

We pull it in and out of the building using 4x4 and it drives fine with no noise from the rear diff.

The PTO Winch is disconnected. It worked but it leaked oil. When we put the rebuilt engine back in it we disconnected it with intentions of putting new gaskets in to stop the leak and never did. The parts are there.

The last issue... it is not the original engine. It is the Right engine for the year but the numbers don't match.

 Please come see the truck or at the very least Email me, include a phone number and I will call you and discus the truck. 

 This is a good Candidate for a full Military Restoration or Just a Fun Antique truck to play with that has a lot of History.

The first couple of pics show what the truck looked like in service. 

I am adding pictures of the truck after we took some of the firefighting equipment off so you may view what it looks like as you will receive it.

 The Hose Real/Hoses, Light Bar, axes, and extinguishers were removed. 

 The Deluge Gun, Tank, Strobes in the Body and Grill were left on the truck. Also the Antique Q-Siren with Red light on the left front fender.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding.

Dodge and Jeep recalling 895k SUVs for possibility of headliner fires

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

Dodge 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.

2014 Dodge Durango teaser reveals new 'racetrack' taillights

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Not wanting to let Jeep get all of the SUV attention for the 2014 model year, Dodge is unveiling a refreshed version of its Durango at the New York Auto Show. Teased in this image, all we can really tell about the 2014 Dodge Durango is that it will be getting Dodge's "racetrack" taillights similar to the Charger and Dart.
The chrome or painted strip currently between the Durango's Zorro taillamps have been removed to allow for a full-width LED array with "DODGE" lettering displayed more prominently above the license plate pocket. Parent company Chrysler also promises that the updated Durango will add "several new class-exclusive features," but stops short of saying what those are. Earlier reports suggest that among the changes, buyers will be able to look forward to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, which ought to improve the three-row SUV's fuel efficiency.

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production

Sun, 28 Apr 2013

In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
