I am selling my 2011 Dodge 5500 Crew Cab SLT in Great Condition LOW reserve, of $27,500
Had a utility service bed on it, didn't see much towing, has been well cared for and it shows throughout
It has 118k miles, and runs like a champ

Engine is clean, tight, no smoke, starts right up in cold weather, no leaks, recent oil change and service, nothing to report with the engine

Transmission is tight, functions as it should, shifts well, has the tap-shift on the gear selector so you can choose which gear you want when towing or using the factory exhaust brake

All driveline gear is in great condition with newer tires, new shocks, etc. There are no loose joints, odd clunks in the front-end, it really drives great, you can tell its a 5500 with no weight on the bed, so the ride is firm in the back, but when going over bumps the front-end feels just like it should, drives straight, doesn't pull etc. 

The bed has been removed and is ready for whatever you want to put on it, the wiring for rear lights and trailer are nice bundled up ready for you to work with, the 2 rear taillights as needed wired in, the old bed was bolted on so there is no odd cuts or welds on the frame. 

The fuel tank is huge, not sure how big but I just went 700 miles on 1 tank

Exterior condition is great with a ranchhand grill guard, as you can see in the pictures there is no speakable damage, dents, or scratches, there may be a minor scratch or 2 but I don't know of them, the paint is shiny and looks great, the undercarriage is in good shape, no leaks so its not all grimy underneath and not rusted out, just looks as it should. 

The interior is in great shape as well, with the exception of the drivers seat tear on the side that you can see in the pictures and a minor stain on the drivers seat itself, maybe it would come out with a detail but its there and should be disclosed. Other than that there are no major problems spots, naturally it has been used so its not brand spanking new but its dang close. It is not the base model truck so it has carpet with extra sound dampening, built in trailer brake controller,  power windows, locks, drivers seat, etc. Remote keyless entry, Uconnect bluetooth speakerphone, cd player, Sirius Sat. radio, 110v power outlet, 4 normally cigarette outlets,  tinted windows, etc. 

Overall its a very clean truck that will impress, it runs great, functions, great, not a whole lot of bad to say about it. I am able to take more pictures, but its snowy, but overall the pictures won't show much more than you need to know, its a clean truck. 

The only issue other than whats stated above is on my last trip (700 miles) a notification on the dash came on that said "Service DEF System" thats the Diesel Exhaust Fluid, so I stopped into the dealer, he hooked up his laptop and said there were some codes all relating to the DEF system but nothing that was conclusive, he didn't see a specific problem, and he doesn't know why the message came on, he topped off the DEF fluid, He said he's seen that message come on the the fluid gets real low, other than that he said maybe its because its freezing, although the computer should know better, (it was around 2 degrees that day). All in all he didn't know why it came on so he reset the computer. I have done some research and I too haven't found any conclusive info, I did learn a lot. The fluid is injected into the exhaust pipe about halfway back and is used to aide in the clean burning of the exhaust, it is not cycled through the engine so I feel good about that, its literally a supplement system that if you choose to do so can be disabled, delete, whatever. I have also learned that most failures are the pumps, which after checking into, a new one from the dealer is somewhat pricey, but a working one on ebay is a couple hundred bucks and takes about 20 minutes to swap over since theres not a bed on it access is great. 

So take that as you will, again I want full disclosure, the message came on and thats about it. Maybe it will for you maybe it won't regardless it doesn't seem like a problem that effects the engine or reliability. 

I will be available until the 9th for the auction to end and truck to be picked up, otherwise I will be unavailable until the 19th. so if you buy it, plan on flying out in the next day or so to drive it home, or your going to have to wait

you can call or text me at 970-672-6396 for questions, specifics, pricing, etc. 

I have only sold 2 vehicles on ebay and have not had any problems when the buyer sees the vehicle I try to be descriptive and have the vehicle ready to go, I would not sell something I wouldn't trust myself as I know you are most likely coming from out of state and need something reliable.

Chrysler minivans under investigation for stalling after fuel refill

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least one man has reported that his 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled unexpectedly on the highway shortly after being refueled. The unidentified man who contacted NHTSA regarding the issue cited as many as eight similar instances reported by other drivers.
NHTSA has announced that it will launch an inquiry into this issue, which could affect as many as 160,000 minivans from Dodge and Chrysler that were sold in 2007 (or more, if a problem is found that extends to additional models years, we'd assume). As of yet, there's no formal investigation, let alone a recall, on these vans, as the agency is merely determining if further action is needed.
Two months ago, Chrysler recalled nearly 700,000 vehicles, the majority of which were minivans, from the 2008-2010 model years to replace ignition switches after an investigation found that their weak springs and detent positions could fool a driver into thinking the car was in the "Run" position, when it's actually in the "Accessory" position.

2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.

Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.
