1998 Dodge B3500 Base Extended Passenger Van 3-door 5.9l on 2040-cars
Penn, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This van was brought to the local garage because some criminal had hack-sawed the catalytic converter off of it one night. The owner was not able to pay for the repairs, so it sat at the garage's lot for about a year. I inquired about it and bought it off the owner for storage fees. I bought it because the A/C was good and I needed parts for my work van. Unfortunately, my van does not have the dual climate zones setup (this van does have the rear A/C and heat), so none of the parts I wanted will change over.
It runs and drives. Engine is strong and transmission feels good. It needs a "Y" pipe and catalytic converter. The brakes feel a little sluggish. I only drove it out of the lot onto a trailer, then off the trailer and into my driveway; so I think it's just the rust on the brake rotors that was feeling odd, but I have not taken it down the road. The rear differential is a limited-slip posi. I do not know the gear ratio. The interior is musty from sitting for a year and would need cleaned. The headliner surface material is sagging, but the backing structure is not. The seats are in good shape. The carpet is pretty dirty but not torn up. The listed mileage is rounded up. I know it is 150-something from when I got it, but the battery is dead so I couldn't check it without jumping it again. The tires are all low on tread, but acceptable and hold air. 3 of 4 center caps are present. It's originally from Virgina. There is rust here and there, but it's very minimal for what vans this age usually looks like. The doors are very nice on the bottoms as are the rockers. It was a private daily driver up till the vandalism; that's really all I know about it. I just want to get my money back out of it. I paid $1200 and think it's well worth it in useful parts or fixed as a driver, but I already have a van and don't need it. I'd like to take as little loss as possible; so only serious offers please. I might consider parting it out, but I'd like to see if it'll go whole first. Feel free to submit any offers for any parts you are interested in should I decide to part it out. If you have questions that aren't answered here or in the pictures, I probably won't know the answer; but you can try if you like and I'll do my best. |

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.
Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
Dodge bringing revamped Challenger, Charger to Big Apple
Mon, 07 Apr 2014The 2014 New York Auto Show will be a big one for Dodge, as the brand has announced that refreshed versions of the 2015 Challenger and 2015 Charger will debut at the show. This is a particularly big deal for the two-door Challenger which, visually, has remained unchanged since is burst back onto the scene in 2008 and helped reignite the muscle car wars.
As a sort of hint, this announcement was accompanied by the picture you see above - the Super Bee logo in the Challenger's new instrument cluster. According to Dodge, the New York debut of a new "powertrain combination" - possibly with the high-output Hellcat V8 - will leave enthusiasts "abuzz."
As for the Charger, Dodge is promising a full redesign that should be a significant departure from the blunt, angry looks of the current model. At this point, there's no indication that the Challenger's new powertrain could be fitted to the Charger, although considering how mechanically similar these two vehicles have been, it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility.
