1954 Dodge Pick Up Truck.
Engine: 6 Cylinder flat head with 103,500 miles that are believed to be original. The engine was over hauled about 20k miles ago. Vehicle still has floor pedal starter. Pretty much everything is still original. Engine runs excellent, does not burn any oil. It does have a mild leak but I am not certain exactly where it is coming from, not a significant leak. Transmission: 3 Speed Manual transmission on the column. The linkage on the transmission needs attention. It has had issues with difficulty shifting into various gears that are not issues with the transmission or clutch. It is an issue with the linkage adjustment only. After discussing this with a transmission shop I am told this is a common problem with the cars that have three on the column manual transmissions. Apparently the linkage has a very specific adjustment pattern that if it is not adjusted properly has difficulty going in to gear. This is an easy fix and may be fixed this week, however I can not guarantee that so assume it still needs to be addressed. Interior: The dashboard has no dents or tears in it. The seats have been recovered recently. The door panels are relatively new, however they do not look to be the best quality door covering. The head liner is relatively new and everything else looks relatively new as well. Please see the photos for details. Exterior: Please look at the photos for details. I am not familiar with the history of the paint job. It looks to me like the original paint that was possibly painted over with the same color in an attempt to freshen up the paint without doing a complete re-paint. You be the judge because I can not tell. The paint looks to be in pretty decent shape, but by no means is it show ready. It would benefit from being buffed out, again please look closely at the photos as they will be the best indication of the condition of the paint job. There is no issues with rust. Look closely at the photos, there are a few areas where some surface rust may be starting, but there are no rust holes anywhere. This is a very solid truck. Brakes: The brakes need to be bled, I may have this done before the purchase is complete. Overall this is an excellent daily driver that needs very little to move into a show vehicle. Again please let the pictures be a guide as to the condition of the vehicle. The truck is all original and runs great. Please ask all questions prior to bidding. I hate to have to add this but due to others I must. You are not bidding to come and look at the vehicle, you are bidding to own. All bids are binding and must be honored. The vehicle can not be released until funds are cleared. |

Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands
Wed, 10 Apr 2013With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.
Chrysler recalling 644k more Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs over brakes
Wed, 02 Apr 2014Early last month, we reported on Chrysler issuing a preemptive, proactive recall for about 25,000 units of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango. The issue revolved around a brake system that wasn't causing any actual problems, but delivered an unsatisfactory brake feel, so Auburn Hills called in a good 25,000 of SUVs around the world, including 18,700 in the United States.
Now Chrysler, having apparently determined that the brake problem on its sport utes is actually much bigger than it initially realized, has drastically broadened the scope of the recall. As a result, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for precisely 655,354 examples of the Grand Cherokee and Durango, covering the 2011 through 2014 model years. In addition, Chrysler is recalling 42,380 units in Canada, 21,376 in Mexico and 159,685 overseas.
The problem which Chrysler found revolves around the brake booster, whose center shell has been found to be subject to corrosion, allowing water to get into the brake system. That water in turn could freeze, preventing the brakes from working as well as expected.
