 Hello Everyone!  You are looking at a beautiful and extremely rare truck.  I had to look for one of these for a very long time.  Unfortunately, I haven't been able to devote any time towards making it my dream truck, with the exception of the wheels and tires.  I purchased the wheels off eBay, and the tires are brand new (less than 500 miles on them).  The truck is in great condition.  The previous and original owner took excellent care of it (evidenced by the engine bay and interior).  When I purchased it, it had the transmission issue.  I've put about 1500 miles on it, including an 800 mile round trip across the Midwest.  The transmission makes noise when the clutch is out, and in every gear with the exception of fourth.  Some gears are worse than others.  My point is this: I felt comfortable driving it a considerable distance. 

Here are some pros:
-Extremely hard to find: V-8, 5-SPD manual transmission, 2WD, Regular Cab. 
-Extremely clean engine bay
-Fresh oil change at 112,000
-New 255/55/17 tires (less than 500 miles)
-Interior is in excellent condition, with the exception of stains on the rear portion (close to seat) of the carpet
-Engine runs great!  These 318 ci/ 5.2L V8s are known for their longevity.  The previous and original owner took excellent care of this vehicle. 
-Averaged 19 MPG on 800 mile road trip (this is really good considering  3.9 axle ratio)
-Limited Slip rear diff
-9.25" Chrysler rear end
-Nice throaty rumble from an aftermarket Borla cat-back exhaust (sounds really burblely when throttle is closed and slowing down!!)
-Has a really nice cover that latches in and rolls up easily. 

Cons:
-Some light rust over rear wheel (visible in picture)
-Small indentations on hood (not visible in pictures)
-Transmission is making noise (not a clutch issue)

In closing, I know this beautiful truck will find a great home.  If you're interested and want to know more, message me.  I tried to make a video of the noise, and it was not audible over the exhaust. 

Vehicle is sold AS-IS.  I have made the utmost attempt to describe the vehicle in detail.

2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit prepares to keep Hellcats in line

Wed, 13 Aug 2014

Earlier today, Dodge pulled the wraps off its 2015 Charger SRT Hellcat - a 707-horsepower sedan capable of sprinting to 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds and reaching a top speed of 204 mph. Naturally, the car debuted in a bright shade of pull-me-over red, so it was fitting, then, that Dodge also brought its newly updated 2015 Charger Pursuit to keep everything under control.
No, cops won't be able to spec their Charger cruisers with the 707-hp Hellcat engine (oh man, imagine the chase scenes...), but law enforcement officials will be able to choose from either a 3.6-liter V6 or 5.7-liter Hemi V8, producing 292 hp and 370 hp, respectively. V8 models can be ordered with all-wheel drive, and Dodge estimates that with either engine, the Charger Pursuit can achieve up to 26 miles per gallon on the highway (thanks to the V8's four-cylinder mode).
Other updates for 2015 include improved braking power, a seven-inch display in the instrument cluster, a five-inch display in the center stack, and a new vehicle systems interface that could make it easier for police squads to install computer and radio equipment.

Dodge Demon's A/C helps its supercharged Hemi make more power

Thu, Mar 30 2017

Staying cool is one important key to performance. Simply, more air means more power, and cool, dense air is better than hot air. While forced induction might help make copious amounts of horsepower, turbos and superchargers produce heat. Intercoolers help, but the new Dodge Demon and its supercharged Hemi need a bit of an extra boost. In Drag Mode, the Demon's engine commandeers the car's air conditioning system to help chill things out. The Demon will have the first production application of a liquid-to-air charge air cooler chiller system. Literally, the car's air conditioning system is used to cool the air going into the engine, dropping temps by up to 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Dodge claims the system helps achieve "temperatures previously unattainable by pressure-charged street-legal production vehicles." As cool as this may sound, the technology isn't new. Ford had a prototype system in the early 2000s called SuperCooler, though that system never made it to production. While the Demon's system doesn't have a super cool name like the one from Ford, the pair essentially work in the same way. In theory, it should have the same effect as a bottle of nitrous. According to Autoweek, Ford's system bumped up the output of the F-150 Lightning by about 50 horsepower. Turns out that air conditioning isn't always a huge power suck. Related Video:

2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody | First Run at Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Mon, Jul 17 2017

In addition to driving the Dodge Demon, we also had a chance to sample the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody last week. We drove it on the famed infield road course at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We're not at liberty to give you our impressions just yet, but you can experience the sights and sounds of the 707-horsepower Hellcat Widebody in the above video. Thanks for watching. Check back on Wednesday, July 19, to read about the experience.
