Up for sale is a 1997 Dodge Dakota with 105,XXX miles. This truck is a 4x4 pickup with a V6 3.9 liter engine and 5 speed manual transmission - sport edition. Cloth interior that is in fair shape for its age. Truck comes with an aftermarket CD player. Starts up every morning without issue and has cold A/C for these hot muggy days. It has a 3" body lift with 31 X 10.50 R15 BFG All Terrains. The body has dings all over it - no large dents that keep you from operating the truck though. The paint is very faded and there is a significant amount of surface rust on the roof. There are also spots of surface rust scattered in different spots on the body. No part of the outer body is rusting out - just surface rust. There is a spot inside the bottom of the bed that is rusting through - it doesn't weaken the bed though. Manual windows, manual locks, rear window has a sliding back glass.

This is a great truck for work or play - would be a great hunting truck!

The good:

COLD A/C
Starts up every time - runs smooth.
Comes with Diamond Plate tool box.
Aftermarket CD Player
VA State Inspection valid thru 10/13.

The following has just been replaced:

Front brakes
Front rotors
Front brake hoses
Battery
Fresh Oil Change

The following has been replaced in the last 5,000 miles:

Exhaust - new muffler and tailpipe from muffler back.
2 inner tie rod ends
Front End Alignment
Rear U-Joint
Serpentine Belt
Spark Plugs
Spark Plug wires
Cap & Rotor
PCV Valve
Serpentine belt tensioner

The bad:

Headliner sagging - as shown in pic.
Manifold leak - sounds like it's on the right side.
Small rattle towards front of motor - no idea what this is, it doesn't sound like its in the block and doesn't really increase when you rev it up. The best way to describe this sound is rattle instead of a tap - water pump is not leaking. It has actually done this for years and hasn't created any issues - sometimes it doesn't make a noise. Just wanted to note it. I've recorded a video that seems to exacerbate the sound but gives and idea of the pitch - http://youtu.be/F_AZZ5T9J-4
Does not go into 4X4 low. If you disconnect the linkage it will go into 4X4 low. Whoever put the body lift on before I received the truck didn't properly extend the 4X4 shifter so it hits the body before it gets into low range. It's not that the low range doesn't work - the throw is just off on the shifter. It needs to be taken off cut and re-welded to modify the throw in order to clear the body.
Condition of paint.
Crack in windshield - as shown in pic.
Spare tire carrier under bed is broken. Spare tire will still come with truck in back of bed.

I've made every attempt to describe this vehicle to the best of my ability. Please let me know if you have any additional questions before bidding and I'll be happy to answer to the best of my ability. Thanks for looking.

Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat en route to dealers

Sat, 15 Nov 2014

Get ready, world: The 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has officially been unleashed. But rather than just have the big coupes quietly arrive at dealers, Dodge has released this video, showing Hellcats loading up onto car carriers at Fiat-Chrysler's Brampton, Ontario plant. And yes, that is Mötley Crüe's "Kickstart My Heart" playing in the background. Of course.
This really is worth all the fanfare, though, considering Dodge will sell its ridiculously powerful, supercharged machine for just $59,995. And if the Challenger isn't quite up your alley, just remember, there's an equally powerful, 204-mph, four-door Charger Hellcat on the way...

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.
