Up for auction is a 99 Dodge Ram Van 1500 5.2L V-8. Runs strong and has a rebuilt 4sp automatic transmission that was rebuilt  3 months ago at the local Dodge dealership. The front end suspension and rear brakes were rebuilt by the dealership also within the last year, plus a thorough alignment was done. The brake proportioning valve was also replaced there too. The air conditioning blows cold and has worked well ever since I bought it. Being a black vehicle that is a nice feature to have during our Georgia summers! I switched out the doors with those from a conversion van so that I could have the power windows and power mirrors. I didn't get the power locks installed since it would require the whole keyless entry setup to work, but the power mirrors are great for checking blind spots while being able to adjust them down to avoid headlight glare from behind. I still have the original non-power doors and can include them too if you like.

The cruise control and all accessories work fine, title in hand and it passes local Georgia emissions, plus it has new plugs, wires and battery. The tires are a year and a half old and are at least %75 tread left, plus they've just been rotated. Safety cage installed and the blanket across it cuts down on the road noise, plus helps the AC and heat work better. The body is in good rust free shape, though its seen plenty of dents and scratches. It was originally built with the rear window delete and black paint option, the windowless feature was helpful for me as I used it at my last job as an aircraft mechanic supporting the National Guard. We often had to drive expensive parts and equipment across several states to fix the airplanes and it was helpful not to have any windows to show what we were hauling. Having the air conditioning, the stereo and the cruise control helped a lot on those long road trips.  

The issues I didn't get around to fixing are; it still has a small oil leak from under the distributor seal, the windshield is cracked and there is a new sliding door skin where a past owner was hit in the side, and lots of little dents and scratches, and worn seats. Mileage reads about 233343 but was registered as exempt when I bought it so it may be inaccurate. Sometimes in stop and go traffic the brakes shudder a bit. This happened after they were rebuilt and the drums were replaced, but the faulty proportioning valve caused them to overheat and they warped slightly. The valve was replaced and the drums resurfaced but since they are new, I didn't feel the need to replace them.

 

Now that the program has ended and our site closed, I no longer need a vehicle like this and I bought a pickup truck that can carry my whole family. I spent a lot of money to fix up this van mechanically so there wasn't anything left over to improve its looks. This truck looks beat up and wont win any beauty contests, but it will make a comfortable and reliable workhorse for someone.

QB says University of Alabama offered him a Corvette to play football

Fri, 16 May 2014

The University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team could be in some hot water, following a pair of posts on social media.
The first post was sure to raise a few eyebrows on its own. It's an Instagram of sophomore running back Derrick Henry standing in front of his new Dodge Challenger (we're guessing it's an R/T based on the fender stripes). Complete with a custom set of wheels, the image was enough to trigger more than a few questions about where an unemployed student-athlete came up with the money for such a purchase. Now, this could be harmless. Henry, flush with a full-ride to Bama could have convinced his parents to get him something nice with his college fund.
The second post, though, is a straight-up accusation. It comes from former West Virginia Mountaineer and current CFL quarterback Pat White, who posted the following on his Facebook page.

I sold my Viper, but the memories I'll keep

Thu, 30 May 2013

The following is written by auto industry veteran Tow Kowaleski. The words are his own, but the memories now belong to everyone thanks to his willingness to share. If you're an industry veteran with a story to share, contact us at tipsATautoblogDOTcom.
It became the flame that started the fire of belief in the next life of Chrysler.
I just sold a car. Nothing new. Millions do it every day. But my car was a 1995 Dodge Viper, so maybe it was a bit more unique since just 12,000 were built. And like others selling a car that's been a part of the family for close to 20 years, this was a confluence of emotions for me. I was sad to see it go, but happy to have the cash and one less big, shiny, under-utilized object in my life.

Dodge Challenger Scat Pack adds power and noise, with a warranty

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

If you want to go fast, there's certainly nothing wrong with the Dodge Challenger SRT8. With 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque for 2014, there's certainly not much to complain about. But what if you want something more aftermarket in flavor? There's no shortage of options, but while turning to the tuner world will make your car plenty fast, that extra power won't just shred rear tires, it'll torch your warranty, as well. That's where Dodge's Scat Pack comes in.
With three stages of mods for both the 5.7 and 6.4-liter Hemi V8s Challenger (as well as the 5.7-liter Charger and, soon, the four-pot Dart), the Scat Pack cars give drivers all the power, aggression and noise of a heavily modded aftermarket car while maintaining the piece of mind provided by the Dodge warranty.
Power gets bumped up to 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque with the 6.4-liter Scat Pack, while the 5.7-liter can provide up to 58 hp and 47 lb-ft of torque to add to the stock engine's 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet. It's the latter engine that can really get some work done, with upgrades ranging from the mundane - intake and exhaust - to the racy, like the ported heads and high-flow headers.
