2000 Dodge Ram 3500 Quad Cab 4wd 5 Speed Manual Fire Damaged on 2040-cars
Finksburg, Maryland, United States
|
This was my "weekend warrior" truck until yesterday when an engine fire rendered it useless to me. I've had the truck nearly six years, and only put about 20k miles on it driving to Lowes, the landfill, mulch yard, and helping friends move. Prior to yesterdays event, I had only minor annoyance issues with the truck. The manual transmission gear box had a slow fluid leak which I topped off every six months or so. The ABS brakes would activate randomly at low speed as I approached stoplights which apparently is common in these trucks. Hadn't got around to troubleshooting that. The dreaded Dodge door rust was setting in, but didn't bother me much cause it was just my work truck. That's about it. Other than the areas damaged by the fire, the paint is in great condition. The white streaks in the photos are from the fire extinguishers that we were using to keep the fire under control until the fire department arrived. It really was a great truck for me, and since I didn't carry comprehensive insurance on it, I'm just trying to get whatever I can out of it. I have no idea what caused the fire. I had just driven to the land fill 3 miles from home to drop off some debris from a home project I was working on, and when I pulled off the weigh in scale smoke started pouring out from under the hood. All of the damage to the hood and front end was caused by the firemen opening the hood to get to the fire. Vehicle not drivable. You pick up. |

Dodge Viper GTS-R goes back to old-school livery
Fri, 20 Jun 2014The Dodge Viper may have been around now for over 20 years, but as far as racing achievements go, 2000 was its finest season. That's when it won the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the GTS class trophy at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and its second consecutive title in the American Le Mans Series.
Since then, SRT Motorsports hasn't quite had the same success, withdrawing from Le Mans this year and shedding the Dodge name and its emblematic red and white livery for the SRT badge and a silver snakeskin theme. But now that the Viper is back under the Dodge banner, so too is the racing team returning to its classic livery.
Starting from the six-hour race at Watkins Glen next week, both the No. 91 and No. 93 Viper GTS-Rs will wear the red base color with twin white racing stripes that its more accomplished forebears wore on circuits around the world. And with it, maybe the Viper will return once again to the winner's circle at home and abroad.
Chrysler recalls AWD 300, Charger, Ram 1500 over ZF transmission
Tue, 24 Dec 2013What do the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Ram 1500 all have in common? Yes, they're all Chrysler products, and two of them are based on the same platform. And we're sure you could find more similarities between them all, but the common trait we're looking at here is that, while they all come standard in rear-drive form, they're also available with all-wheel drive. And it's the transmission in those models that's the subject of the latest recall notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The output shaft on the eight-speed automatic transmission supplied by ZF to Chrysler for the AWD versions of the 300, Charger and Ram 1500 is apparently prone to fracture. That in the end could leave the vehicle without power and could, according to the NHTSA investigation, increase the chance of a crash. The vehicle could also roll away if even if left in Park without the handbrake applied.
That's why Chrysler is calling in 4,194 examples of those three models from the 2013 model year. Dealers will be responsible for inspecting the transmissions and, where necessary, replace the entire unit. See the full recall notice below for all the details.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
