Location:

Santa Ana, California, United States

 For Sale, AS-IS.

I’m selling my 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo that I’ve owned for the last 17 years. I’m a mechanical engineer so I’m going to tell you everything I know about it – This car needs to go to the right kind of owner. Currently has starter relay issue requiring you to connect a jumper underhood to get it to start.

Drives very well, and fast.

Handles amazingly well: Intrax 1.75” lowering springs, KYB GR-2 Shocks, 3SX adjustable rear lower control arms.

19” x 9” Moda wheels –only a few years old

Nice exterior/ paint.  Almost always garaged.

New transmission installed at about 80k miles

New transfer case installed at about 105k miles (factory recall)

Bridgestone Potenza RE091A Pole Position tires (50-75% of tread left)

Same owner for last 17 years.  I have all records on it since 61k miles.  ALL RECORDS -- oil changes, every part changed, all gas fill-ups.  I wrote everything down.

Borla stainless steel exhaust and 3SX downpipe – new in 2011, has only about 6k miles on it

Stock engine except for Intake / Exhaust – no problems smogging it, have C.A.R.B. sticker for K&N intake. It was just smogged last August, but I will get it smogged again for the next buyer.

Awesome stereo – Top of the line Alpine and competition Blaupunkt amp, JBL 12” sub, Kenwood 6.5” front door speakers, Alpine tweeters, sound deadening throughout.

Clutch was new at about 120k: South Bend TZ Clutch with Fidanza aluminum flywheel

Engine oil has been Mobile One 10W30 since I purchased the car with 60k, and changed every 3000 miles. Maintenance followed by the book – owner is a mechanical engineer.

HKS Boost gage – Although the car has never run higher than stock boost.

MSD Coil wires

’97-98 3000GT hoop spoiler

 

The not so good:

Has a slight stumble at 2000 rpm.  I just had the ECU rebuilt by AVPros, and it made no difference.  You would have to know the car very well like I do to detect this... the engine pulls very strongly.

Driver’s seat is worn through on side bolster.  Custom leather seat skins for $300, and it takes about 8 hours of labor to install – I can give you contact info for this.  Passenger seat has some wear but is not torn at all.

Transmission has a bit of gear whine, and has for last 35k miles or so since an end cap came off letting contaminants in.  The transmission was flushed and sealed back up at the time.

Brakes pulsate lightly.  I am including a turned set of used Stillen Cross-drilled rotors and new EBC Green Stuff brake pads, in case you want to have completely smooth braking.

Especially in very humid or wet weather, there is a starter relay which sometimes refuses to fire.  When this happens, you have to run a jumper wire under the hood to get it to start.

Similar issue in humid weather: there is a relay for the ABS system which sometimes sticks on.  I am including a used set of good replacement relays.  When this happens you have to disconnect the battery.

The left rear tire has a slow leak due to a bad leak repair/ patch.  It needs air about once a month, and can’t be fixed without a new tire.

The car is aligned, but it pulls slightly left all the time.  If you rotate the tires, you can find a combination which does not do this… one of the tires has high conicity (it is cone-shaped).  I rotate the tires to improve tire wear, but this is a side effect.  The lowered suspension makes the conicity / pulling more apparent.

Car was in a left door sideswipe back in 1999 or so while I owned it.  The door was repaired then and is as good as new (the shop did a really great job or I'd have never kept the car this long).  Clean title.

It is not originally a California car -- has Federal spec emissions and went through some salty winters.  The underhood appearance is a bit corroded, as are some of the chassis and underbody parts.  There is a tiny patch of rust on the rear deck where the factory spoiler used to be.  It looks great on the outside though, from about 10 feet.  There are some scratches on the rear bumper, and a little bit on the right side.  There are a few door dings.

These are all the issues I know about.  Any one of these issues you could leave alone and just drive like this, or try to improve.

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.

Dodge unveils Special Service Durango for government fleets

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

Straight off its refresh, the Dodge Durango is slipping back into its dress blues and getting back to work. The 2014 Dodge Durango Special Service Vehicle boasts all the refinements and improvements that the refreshed, civilian-spec model received, most notably a 15-percent improvement in fuel economy.
Designed for police and fire departments, and as Chrysler's answer to the Ford Police Interceptor Utility and Chevrolet Tahoe PPV in the growing service SUV market, the Durango boasts a 600-mile range, thanks to the addition of an eight-speed automatic, available on both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Equipped with the 360-horsepower Hemi, the Durango SSV can tow up to 7,400 pounds (the V6 is limited to 6,200 pounds).
Police and fire department Durangos get a few special features over the civilian models. The electric systems are ruggedized, with a heavy duty battery and a 220-amp alternator in place, while the engine's water pump and oil cooler are both stronger. The brakes are tougher, and a load-leveling suspension has been fitted, too.

Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.
