2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie Extended Cab Pickup 5.9l - No Reserve on 2040-cars
Silver Spring, Maryland, United States
|
2001 Dodge 1500 Laramie SLT. I am selling this truck because I no longer have use for it and it takes up driveway space. It runs great and looks great. We bought this vehicle new in 2000 and have enjoyed it ever since in light family duty. It was/is fully loaded and is still in remarkably good condition. There are a few small dings/scratches although far less than you would expect for a model year 2001 truck. There is a small dent at the upper right on the tail gate approximately 3 inches in diameter with no lost paint. If you are not at the right angle, you often do not see it. I've had at least 3 friends/neighbors express interest in buying this truck.
This truck came loaded with: leather, tilt steering, power seats, AM/FM/CD, cruise control, heated seats, full tow package,etc. Additionally, we added: running boards, Line-X bed liner, Sirius/XM (with remote control), and heavy duty Michelin truck tires (with plenty of tread). It was wired and rigged with air bag lifters to carry a truck camper as well. We never actually used a truck camper (since we bought a motorhome instead), but the airbag lifters have ben great for heavier loads like when we buy mulch and topsoil. This truck runs exceptionally well and had all of its scheduled service and has had the expected Dodge repairs/replacements, including: water pump, ball joints, and starter. It has a brand new Bosch battery. We put a on a custom dash replacement since the top of the dash board was cracking (as it does on all Dodge Rams). We also put matching seat covers in the front to cover light cracking but left the leather backs uncovered since they are in very good condition. It passed the Maryland vehicle emissions test. I took this truck to Carmax where they offered $2000, which is far less than its value. I am setting the starting bid at that $2000 with NO RESERVE. Carmax graded everything on the truck as "GOOD." I thought I smelled coolant so when I had the battery replaced at Pep Boys, I had them do a pressurized coolant leak test. There were no leaks and they said they were impressed with the mechanical condition of the truck. The map lights and heated seats do not work. I suspect the seat issue may just be a wiring problem. The map lights never bothered me enough to repair since the overhead light does work. Again, this is a great truck with low mileage. It has always served us well and will serve you well. |

Dodge Challenger Scat Pack adds power and noise, with a warranty
Thu, 17 Apr 2014If you want to go fast, there's certainly nothing wrong with the Dodge Challenger SRT8. With 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque for 2014, there's certainly not much to complain about. But what if you want something more aftermarket in flavor? There's no shortage of options, but while turning to the tuner world will make your car plenty fast, that extra power won't just shred rear tires, it'll torch your warranty, as well. That's where Dodge's Scat Pack comes in.
With three stages of mods for both the 5.7 and 6.4-liter Hemi V8s Challenger (as well as the 5.7-liter Charger and, soon, the four-pot Dart), the Scat Pack cars give drivers all the power, aggression and noise of a heavily modded aftermarket car while maintaining the piece of mind provided by the Dodge warranty.
Power gets bumped up to 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque with the 6.4-liter Scat Pack, while the 5.7-liter can provide up to 58 hp and 47 lb-ft of torque to add to the stock engine's 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet. It's the latter engine that can really get some work done, with upgrades ranging from the mundane - intake and exhaust - to the racy, like the ported heads and high-flow headers.
1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.
