I bought this truck several months ago as an owner retained salvage from the previous owner. I was given a clean title which is what comes with this truck which is what is seen in the picture. However, if you re-register this truck in CA it will come back as a salvage. If you registered this in another state and it will remain a clean title but, it will still show on the Car Fax report that it was a total loss in CA if you ever go to sell it. I am disclosing this so whoever buys this and registers it as a clean title will understand that Car Fax will show different. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS THEN PLEASE BUY A DIFFERENT TRUCK FROM A DEALERSHIP WITH A CLEAN CARFAX AND NOT THIS ONE.
Conditions:
Interior: The previous owner decided to have all the interior recovered in leather and suede. Headliner, dash, door panels, sill panels and pretty much everything. 7/10 rating. Not my cup of tea so don't ask my feelings on this alteration. There was a burn from the old amp wiring on the rear passenger seat/floor as shown in the pictures. Also, the carpet was changed to black wool. Yes, you read that correctly. I am not going to comment. The interior has not been cleaned, but needs to be detailed and there are minor touch-ups needed.
Exterior: The previous owner also felt the need to pay almost $20K to change the paint color on the entire truck. This was done professionally at a reputable shop with Sikkens paint. The entire truck was disassembled for this to be done so it was not done half-ass. The original color was black and the new color is a deep black with red metallic flakes that are strong in the sunlight and gives it a sort of purple hue from a distance. All the emblems were replaced new from the Dodge dealership. The paint is very nice and I had it clayed and buffed about a month ago. The body has some scratches, a few minor dings and flaws but, overall 8.5/10 rating.
Drivetrain is untouched with the exception of the K&N Cold Air intake as seen in the pictures. Previous owner had told me he had the transmission rebuilt last year after he tore the center out of the flex plate. He showed me the broken flex plate and the transmission looks really clean and drives just fine. However, I have no paperwork to support what was done and when it was done, but 10/10 rating.
Wheels and tires. These are the stock 22" wheels that come with this truck. There is minor curbing on the passenger side front and rear. The front passenger tire is not the same brand as the rest and is at about 75%. The other 3 are at about 95%. I bought the original jack and tool kit from eBay, but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get the spare tire back under the bed. Given the curb scrape and different brand tire a 8.5/10 rating is fitting.
The Salvage:
The previous owner was taking an off ramp and hit a pothole that broke the passenger front wheel off at the hub and sheared the center of the rotor off with it. The wheel folded under the truck and then slid on it into the center island of the off ramp thru all the bushes giving the passenger side small scratches and pulling off all the passenger plastics. PDR (paintless dent removal) was done on the doors, fender and bedside and look perfect. The plastics were wetsanded and put back on. The front bumper had to be reconditioned and repainted and a foglamp replaced. The hub and rotor were replaced aftermarket from PepBoys. The previous owner had an extra wheel and tire which is why the tire is different on the passenger front from the rest. There is a picture of when it was totaled and also of the broken hub/rotor.
The truck runs great, drives straight, and handles fine. No problems that I have found. The amp and woofers are missing in the back and all the wires are there. I have done my best to describe this truck and it is a neat truck and seemingly rare.
So here is your chance to own a REAL SRT-10 Ram for a lot less then all the others. I have this for sale locally also.
Apparently, the Car Fax on here does not show it being salvaged and it shows it being a clean title when the previous owner told me it was a total loss when he sold it to me.

2013 Dodge Dart gets brace of new special edition models
Thu, 16 May 2013After almost a year on the market it, it is becoming more clear to Dodge how customers like to option out their Darts, so the automaker has combined popular features into three special edition packages and sweetened the prices. Start with a standard 2013 Dart and add either the SXT or Limited "Special Editions" or Rallye Appearance Group, and you'll save yourself a lot of box checking.
The $595 Dart SXT Special Edition takes the trim just above the base model and adds a new grille, dark-tinted headlights and projector fog lights, LED racetrack taillights, cruise control and audio controls on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Limited Special Edition starts with the top-end model and adds a power sunroof, heated front seats and steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and Nappa leather seats among other features, for $1,810.
The Rallye Appearance Group (pictured) is a package for the SXT, and it blacks out the front fascia, throws on 17-inch wheels and some badging for $395. The new special editions are reaching dealers now and could help the Dart's sales to further improve after a slow start. You can find out more about them in the press release below.
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.
2013 Dodge Dart GT
Mon, 16 Dec 2013My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.
