You are bidding on a used 1992 Dodge Dakota LE Extended Cab 4x4 with cap. THE GOOD:* Rust is minimal for this model (see pictures), hardly any on the bed itself.*Engine was replaced a couple of years ago and has MAYBE 60K miles on it, runs strong.*Truck starts right up.*blinkers, headlights, instrument cluster, etc.... all function*includes a matching cap in good condition.*3 of the 4 tires are in good condition, one will need to be replaced soon. THE BAD:*Drivers side floorboard has rusted through*Transmission issues (details below)*Some trim is missing, although I believe I still have it set aside.*rusting around the wheels (see pics)*1 of the hinges on the drivers side door have broken causing the door to hang down, so to use it, as is, you'd have to lift it up a bit.*the hinges on the hood actually broke causing the hood to come up and it dented (see pic)... (the hinges were replaced and now function properly)There may be other items, but the pictures should show you better than I can tell you, please take a look at them before bidding because the truck is being sold "as-is."Regarding the transmission...This is why I'm selling it, otherwise it's a reliable little truck.A couple of weeks ago it stopped and wouldn't go into gear. I had it towed to the house and there it has sat while I've attempted to diagnose it. I did a transmission flush, new fluid and filter. Did not help. Will only go into first and will go into reverse, but after it warms up it will not. I haven't tried playing around and shifting it because I didn't want to cause additional damage.However, I believe the issue may be caused by a faulty transmission solenoid and I cannot get it to budge to replace it. I have WAY too many projects going on, its time to give someone else a shot.Take a look at all the pics and ask questions prior to bidding.Also, please make sure you will be able to pick up the truck in a timely manner because I do not have the space to store it.It is being sold as is and local pickup only!!

Dodge to reveal Hellcat-powered Challenger in Detroit?

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

On top of all the other performance car debuts slated for next week's Detroit Auto Show, we might be able to add one more to the list - the new, supercharged Hellcat V8 from Chrysler. According to new reports, the rumored 640-horsepower mill is likely to cross the Motor City stage in the engine bay of a Dodge Challenger.
As AllPar points out, though, there may be more news than just the fire-breathing engine. While we've seen spy photos of the Hellcat testing under the hood of the current Challenger, there's a very fair chance that it won't arrive until the muscle car is refreshed later this year. The question now is whether that refresh will be shown off alongside the new engine in Detroit, or if it'll be saved, perhaps for the New York Auto Show.
Other details dug up by AllPar include potential transmissions for the supercharged engine - the Mopar-minded site is expecting an eight-speed automatic or a Tremec six-speed manual. Prices, meanwhile, could be in the same elevated range as the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, at $70,000 to $80,000.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:

Chrysler recalling 278,222 trucks and SUVs over bad rear axles

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road.
This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut.
Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.
