2005 Dodge Sprinter 2500 Base Standard Cargo Van 3-door 2.7l on 2040-cars

Year:2005 Mileage:414150

 2005 Dodge Sprinter was running great until,, a minimum wage mechanic got a hold of it.
  Original problem, needed an oil change.
What I got back was a van that will not start, needing 2 injectors and a glowplug.

Great running engine, used about 1qt every 9000 to 10000 miles, plenty of power, monthly coast to coast trips, mpg in the mid to upper 20s,
jasper transmission had just started to have the common rpm flare between 2nd and 3rd shift under moderate acceleration. and needed
a steering position sensor for the ESP (wheelspin) control

Had a check engine light for one of the glowplugs, they offered to change while it was there, WRONG.

Number 1 glowplug snapped, 2 days to extract it, got it running and somehow stripped the threads in the head and shot it out.
 then tapped out the stripped hole and plugged it with a bolt and wasn't notified of the botch repair but to bring it back for the new glowplug,
after a short 2500 mile trip. Second mistake, I took it back to them.

This time they noticed that number 2 injector was leaking (compression) never touched the glowplug problem, and continued to run up my bill to cover their losses
Anyway apparently he dis-assembled number two injector to remove it, lost some of the super small parts, put it back together, reseated. started the engine and
didn't run right, then took apart number one injector to figure out what he had missed and lost those parts. now it wont start at all, CODE P0087  basically the injectors are dumping fuel.

Now it needs two injectors but,,, you also need a DRBIII with a Sprinter card to program the new injectors to the computer which nobody around here has.
And those injectors only had 50,000 miles on them. So I'm stuck with a non-runner and no time to mess with it.

Up until now it has been the best van I had ever owned, just a shame they dont build this type anymore.
It was to be on IL, AZ, VA, trip this week.

Currently at my house about 45 min. SW of Peoria, towed in on a U-haul dolly and a half ton, its just over 5000lbs empty,(yes, insanity can be pretty insane sometimes) needs to be towed out.
Two owner, Always owner driven, never a fleet truck. Clean, Clear title in my name.

Mopar '13 Dart priced from $25,485*

Wed, 12 Jun 2013

For the past few years, Chrysler's Mopar in-house tuning division has created its own one-off versions of several cars in the automaker's portfolio, including the Mopar '10 Challenger, Mopar '11 Charger and Mopar '12 300. For 2013, the black-and-blue up-do has been given to the new Dart compact, and Chrysler has announced that the limited-edition sedan is now available for order, priced from $25,485, not including *$995 for destination.
Like previous Mopar edition vehicles, the Dart is painted in a signature Pitch Black exterior with an offset blue racing stripe. The sedan sits seven millimeters lower to the ground and gets visual add-ons like a chin spoiler, decklid spoiler and rear diffuser, along with gloss black 18-inch alloy wheels.
Performance wise, the Dart's 1.4-liter MultiAir inline four-cylinder engine remains, producing 160 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The Mopar car gets a sport-tuned exhaust system along with revised power steering calibration and beefier brakes.

2015 Dodge Challenger gets 6.4L 485-HP V8 Scat Pack

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

While it's not seeing the drastic facelift of its brother, the Charger, at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 Challenger is packing some upgrades of its own. It wears even more retro-inspired styling cues, and there are new 6.4-liter Scat Pack and Shaker trims.
If you thought the Challenger looked retro before, Dodge is taking things even farther with inspiration for the refresh coming from the iconic 1971 model. Up front, it has a new split grille, a larger power bulge in the hood and projector fog lights. At the rear, the classic inspiration continues with split LED taillights with Gloss Black trim, and a rear valance panel redesigned to make the 2015 model look wider and lower.
The '71 motif is carried inside as well with a high-sill center console and aluminum gauge bezels. There's still more than a touch of modernity, with an available 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system and 7-inch customizable display between the retro-inspired speedometer and tachometer. For better safety, the Challenger is also now available with forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross path detection. Stability control and electric power steering are standard across all models too.

2013 Dodge Dart gets brace of new special edition models

Thu, 16 May 2013

After almost a year on the market it, it is becoming more clear to Dodge how customers like to option out their Darts, so the automaker has combined popular features into three special edition packages and sweetened the prices. Start with a standard 2013 Dart and add either the SXT or Limited "Special Editions" or Rallye Appearance Group, and you'll save yourself a lot of box checking.
The $595 Dart SXT Special Edition takes the trim just above the base model and adds a new grille, dark-tinted headlights and projector fog lights, LED racetrack taillights, cruise control and audio controls on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Limited Special Edition starts with the top-end model and adds a power sunroof, heated front seats and steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and Nappa leather seats among other features, for $1,810.
The Rallye Appearance Group (pictured) is a package for the SXT, and it blacks out the front fascia, throws on 17-inch wheels and some badging for $395. The new special editions are reaching dealers now and could help the Dart's sales to further improve after a slow start. You can find out more about them in the press release below.
