2003 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SPORT
POWER EVERYTHING
RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT
HERE IS WHAT YOU MIGHT CONSIDER BAD NEWS:
         THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE CATALYTIC  CONVERTER REMOVED AND STRAIGHT PIPE RUN TO AVOID BURNING THE ENGINE IN CASE OF A CONVERTER BLOCKAGE. BECAUSE OF THIS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE 2010 WHEN THE CONVERTER WAS DIAGNOSED AS BAD. THE O2 SENSORS CANNOT READ ACCURATELY WITHOUT IT, SO THE LIGHT IS STILL INDICATIVE OF A BAD CONVERTER/SENSOR TROUBLE CODE. IF YOU HAVE TO PASS EMISSIONS INSPECTIONS IT WILL NOT PASS.
         THIS VEHICLE HAS RUPTURED/CRACKED PRESSURE PLATES AND ALTHOUGH IT DRIVES/CONTROLS/STEERS FINE, IT DOES EMIT SLIGHTLY MORE ROAD NOISE THAN IT WOULD REPAIRED, BUT I DID NOT SEE A WAY TO JUSTIFY $1400.00 FOR THE REPAIR. ($700.00 PER SIDE)
         THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IS NOT GOING DOWN, BUT HAS NOT BEEN DOWN, SO THERE IS NO WATER DAMAGE WHATSOEVER. IT IS PROBABLY A CONNECTION IN A WIRE OR SWITCH.
         THERE IS BODY DAMAGE THROUGHOUT. THIS IS STRICTLY COSMETIC AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE'S ALIGNMENT, STRUCTURE, OR OPERATION.
         THERE ARE THREE "SPOTS" ON THE WINDSHIELD WHERE ROCKS STRUCK IT IN TRAVEL. CLEAR FINGER NAIL POLISH WAS APPLIED IMMEDIATELY TO STOP ANY SPREADING. 
         HEADLINER IS COMING LOOSE ESPECIALLY IN FRONT.

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN VERY DEPENDABLE AND HAS TAKEN OUR FAMILY ON VACATIONS ANNUALLY FROM ST. LOUIS TO NASHVILLE TO FLORIDA. WE HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT.
HERE IS A WHAT I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER DOING AS MAINTENANCE:    
              2009: TUNE UP, PCV VALVE, FUEL FILTER, RADIATOR FLUSH AND FILL, BRAKES ALL AROUND UPON PURCHASE.
              2010: REAR ENDED SO REAR BUMPER AND COVER WERE REPLACED. FRONT ROTOR WAS REPLACED FROM ACCIDENT.
              2011: OIL DRAIN PAN & GASKET REPLACED. ALTERNATOR REPLACED. FRONT PADS REPLACED.
              2012: NOTHING STANDS OUT, JUST REGULAR MAINTENANCE.
              2013: FRONT PADS WERE DEFECTIVE AND COMING APART SO THEY WERE REPLACED AGAIN. VALVE COVER GASKET WAS REPLACED.
              2014: TRANS SERVICE INCLUDING GASKET , FILTER, AND FLUID REPLACEMENT.
  ****REGULAR OIL & FILTER CHANGES WERE ALWAYS PERFORMED AT 3000 MILES-GIVE OR TAKE 500 MILES. THE AIR FILTER HAS ALSO BEEN REGULARLY REPLACED.

THE VAN WILL BE DUE FOR A TUNE UP IN APP 30,000 MILES. A RADIATOR FLUSH AND FILL WILL ALSO BE A GOOD IDEA.   

FEEDBACK WILL GLADLY AND QUICKLY BE RETURNED AFTER IT IS RECEIVED, THANKS.

A $200.00 DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED THROUGH PAYPAL WITHIN 24 HOURS TO SHOW YOUR SERIOUS GOOD FAITH. FULL PAYMENT AND PICKUP IS REQUIRED IN PERSON WITHIN THREE DAYS FOR SCHEDULING--NOT NECESSARILY PERFORMED---JUST SCHEDULED!! I CAN WORK WITH YOU ON THAT.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Dodge Ram 50 with V8 swap

Sun, Aug 11 2024

Chrysler did very well selling Mitsubishi Forte pickups with Plymouth and Dodge badging in the United States, even after Mitsubishi began moving the same trucks out of their own American dealerships in 1982. The 1987 Ram 50 2WD short bed weighed in at just over 2,500 pounds, so it was reasonably perky with its 2.0-liter G63B four-banger making 90 horsepower… but there's no replacement for displacement! At some point along the line, a Chrysler small-block V8 engine found its way into the engine compartment of this truck, now residing in a car graveyard in Sparks, Nevada. This was the cheapest new Dodge-branded pickup Americans could buy as a 1987 model, though it had to compete with its near-identical Mitsubishi Mighty Max twin for sales. The 1980s were great times for little pickups in the United States, but a desire for bigger cabs and more creature comforts doomed them by the dawn of the following decade. The most interesting thing about this engine swap is that it didn't involve a Chevrolet or Ford small-block V8. Both the Chevy small-block and Ford Windsor V8s are a few inches narrower than the Chrysler LA-series V8, which makes them easier to stuff into a small vehicle. It appears that engine length was the critical dimension in this case, since the Mopar seems to have had enough side-to-side clearance to avoid any slicing of Mitsubishi steel to make it fit. My guess is that whoever did the swap happened to have the engine handy and that's why it's here. Keeping it all Dodge might have been a factor in the decision as well, though the truck's Mitsubishi ancestry makes that unlikely. It was over 100°F out when I found this truck, so I wasn't motivated to check block casting numbers to determine exactly which LA engine we're dealing with here. The easiest LAs to get cheap for the last four or so decades have been the 318 (5.1-liter) and the 360 (5.8-liter), so one of those two is the most likely candidate here. Power levels for these engines got pretty dismal during the Malaise Era, but anyone with the wrenching skills to do this swap would have applied some basic power-enhancing wizardry before the engine went in. We can see there's an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, and you might as well stab in a better camshaft if you're upgrading the intake. How much power? With a four-barrel carburetor on a dual-plane intake plus a meaner cam, 300 to 350 horsepower is easily achieved with one of these engines, even with stock exhaust manifolds.

2014 Dodge Dart Blacktop glosses over performance

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

The Dodge Dart is a decent little car. It's honest, basic transportation, and many of us at Autoblog are genuinely fond of the Alfa Romeo-based compact sedan. For 2014, not a whole lot changes in the Dart world, save the addition of this new Blacktop edition that makes its debut here at the Detroit Auto Show.
It's all very simple, this Blacktop package, and doesn't actually alter performance in any way. Instead, buyers are treated to blacked-out exterior bits like 18-inch wheels, the crosshair grille and headlamp bezels. Inside, black/tungsten or black/red cloth seats are available, with red contrast stitching throughout the cabin.
Adding the Blacktop pack to your Dart SXT with the Rallye Appearance Group will set you back a scant $295, and while it's just an appearance package, it all looks pretty nice to us.
