Recent oil change with Penzoil

Truck is surprisingly solid for a 24 year old east coast truck, the paint still shines nice however the roof is fading in places and there is a spot of rot on the passenger side rocker. The frame has very minimal scaling and still has factory paint in places like the leaf shackles etc.. I just installed new plugs, wires, cap and rotor, coil and changed the oil again. The truck has sat for some time so I'm flushing whatever (if any) sludge has built up.

There are a few things that need attention which I will be working on until the truck sells such as..

The valve cover gaskets were slightly weeping, I tightened them up and it actually made it worse. I bought new Fel-pro gaskets however I haven't had a full day to take the valve covers off, strip them and repaint them as well as regasket them. I also bought new Fel-pro intake manifold gaskets.. figure if I go through the effort to do the valve covers the right way I may as well do then while I'm in there.

New universals which I have in the box (greaseable) which will be complete this week (both driveshafts) they are quiet however they are aged.

There are three marker lights on the visor that won't illuminate, I will remove the visor and instal all new lights and rewire the setup.

The passenger door speaker produces no sound. I am going to swap the speaker and if it works will continue to replace all the speakers with Sony units.

The master door lock switch is not working however the passenger door switch works. May be a bad contact (doubtful) or I will hunt one down off a parts truck.

The rubber grommet on the strike for the tailgate is mia, another parts truck item.

Carpet could use a shampoo (not dirty, just a little dingy). I may spring for the factory correct floormats however they take two weeks to make.

Trim needs to be rechromed in places or possibly just a dremel buffer with a good compound.

Odds and ends that are associated with a truck that's 24 years old and rides like a tank. 

The truck is for sale locally so the auction can end at any time. Cash only at pickup, must pick the truck up within one week.

Autoblog Podcast #317:

Chrysler almost smothered the Hellcat before it lived

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

Chrysler's 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 was an absolute sensation from the very moment it was announced, and honestly, how could it not have been? Packing 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, its numbers immediately put every other production muscle car (and many supercars) to shame. Plus, we soon learned that would be wrapped in a package retailing for around $60,000 - a pittance compared to other vehicles offering similar grunt. However, the Hellcat almost never got the chance to rumble under the hood of the Challenger and Charger.
The Hellcat was initially proposed back in 2011, back when Fiat was deciding its future strategy for Chrysler Group, according to Automotive News. At the time, the company was just emerging from its bankruptcy doldrums, and an ultra-high-performance V8 wasn't exactly a must-have item. The program didn't move forward. However, SRT engineers kept fighting, according to AN, and four months later, they received the green light to pull the project off the shelf and continue developing the Hellcat. The muscle car world is certainly better for that decision.
The work of those engineers focused on taking Chrysler's standard 6.2-liter V8 and making it reliably handle all of the extra power from the supercharger. "It came down to micron levels of changes in the crank to be able to withstand the pressures of the engine," said Chris Cowland, director of advanced and SRT powertrain, to Automotive News. The changes amounted to switching out about 91 percent of the parts to make the Hellcat, including some quite minuscule alterations. For example, the washer holding the supercharger pulley is embedded with industrial diamonds to keep it from slipping.

eBay Find of the Day: 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10 with 504 miles

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

It's typically hard to find early examples of the Dodge Viper that haven't been crashed or modified, but one eBay seller has a showroom-fresh version of the V10 roadster up for sale worthy of an eBay Find of the Day.
With just 504 miles on the odometer (according to the description and not the images) and "no defects at all," this 1994 Viper is a rare find indeed. Tack on the Buy It Now price of just $37,500 and it seems like a steal - especially when checking out the prices and conditions of other early Vipers currently listed on eBay.
Even after spending months ogling the all-new 2014 SRT Viper, it's hard to ignore the raw beauty of the original open-top model. From the three-spoke wheels to the calf-searing side pipes, everything about this Viper looks just the way it did when it rolled off the line almost 20 years ago. The seller even says that the top and windows have never been installed meaning there are no scratches anywhere on this car!
