Dodge Ram 3500 With Cummins Diesel Engine 4x4 on 2040-cars

Ok, so I'm listing a 2003 ram quad cab ST/SLT. The vin is 3D7LU38673G848698. This has the Cummins with auto and four wheel drive. I acquired this truck in trade back in December 2011. I got it from the original owner with 298509 miles, it now has 332,150. This truck has a fisher minute mount 2 three plug plow set up, but no plow. I've never plowed with it, but it was used as plow and work truck up till I got it. This truck is a work plow truck and it was an east coast truck with plenty of road salt. This truck has dents, scratches, rust and rot. It needs work. This truck still runs and drives, 4x4 works, tires are matched set of firestones with 6/32nds left. I was still using it till last week and am now driving a shop truck.  I started driving a shop truck because the rear axle is making some noise and I don't have time for a project anymore. I have not opened the rear, but I am sure it is getting worn, so it's time for someone else to work on this. When I first got this truck, I had to put a new radiator, new transmission cooler, one new transmission line, right front caliper, new front axle u-joints, new front wheel bearings, new front rotors, one injector line and a new oil pan. The transfer case was rebuilt with new chain sprockets, bearings, and even new cases, but I didn't replace the selector switch so the dash light to show it being engaged does not work. I really will miss this old truck, but I can't justify keeping it. Last winter I think the heater core plugged and needs replaced. The windshield wiper module needs changed, the drivers side works but linkage to pass side does not. The air conditioner worked last year, but now I can hear a hissing by the air filter, so it will need new lines and some work. The cd player never worked. The drivers seat side is worn off, drivers arm rest is cracked, the drivers rocker is rotting thru and all the corners are starting to show rust. It is still drivable, but the check engine light is on 70% of the time. I was told it needed an FCA, but it has been very fun and dependable. I drove this back and forth to east coast a few times and towed all kinds of stuff with this truck.  The person I got it from said at 240000 he had transmission rebuilt, and the only thing he ever had to replace on the engine was one water pump--Love the Cummins! The bed is off another truck. The last owner said that one of his workers hooked a ditch with the plow and spun into a delivery truck, and had to get the bed, rear axle, and bumper changed. Also the truck was repainted some time ago. Anyway ask questions and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I recommend you come and look at it if you are interested.

Saleen SA-30 Mustang, Camaro and Challenger help celebrate the big 3-0

Fri, 22 Nov 2013

After 30 years of tuning performance cars and building racecars, Saleen is celebrating its racing heritage with a limited-production car line called SA-30. Based on the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, Saleen will only build 10 of each SA-30 model at a base price of $95,000.
For that money, buyers will get upgraded suspension, brakes and engines, and while the power figures have not been released for the SA-30 620 Camaro and SA-30570 Challenger models, the SA-30 302 Mustang will be the top performer with 625 horsepower. Each car will be painted up in a custom pearl white hue with black and yellow accents, and get white wheels shrouding yellow powder-coated brake calipers. Inside, the SA-30 offerings will all get a proper Saleen interior with black leather and white Alcantara on the seats, along with the expected smattering of SA-30 badges.
On all three SA-30 models, customers will have various options available to further customize their cars, including a rear-seat delete option that transforms each car's cabin into a race-inspired interior with a chassis-strengthening rear cross brace. Perhaps the coolest feature of all, though, is the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass that is an option on the SA-30 302 Mustang. Similar to the Mercedes Sky Control roof first introduced on the Mercedes SLK, the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass allows the Mustang's optional glass roof and rear window to be switched from transparent to opaque at the push of a button.

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.

Mopar '13 Dart is a bruiser of a compact

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

For the fourth year in a row, Mopar is offering a limited-production car decked with a plenty of add-ons and a unique look. This year's black-and-blue car is the Mopar '13 Dart, which was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show with the now-signature paint scheme. Like previous Mopar models, only 500 of the '13 Darts will be built. Past models include the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and the Mopar '12 300.
The all-black Dart gets a brightly contrasting, offset blue stripe running the full length of the car, and other styling mods like the aero-tuned body kit, gloss black grille, wheels and mirror caps. Curiously, Mopar chose to stick with the Dart's standard headlights rather than the darker, smoked lights. The interior gets a similar black-and-blue treatment, but this unique cabin features a blue leather driver's seat to go along with the black leather seating for the rest of the passengers.
More than just a styling package, the Mopar '13 Dart also gets some performance and handling goodies to complement the Dart's turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, such as upgraded brakes with slotted rotors, a lowered suspension, retuned electric power steering and a "sport-tuned" exhaust system.
