WOW! Here is what you have been looking for. An all original 1978 Dodge Warlock pick up with only 45,132 actual miles! This truck has never left our county. It was sold new here in town, Belvidere, IL. The original owner kept the truck until December 2000. They traded the truck back in to the Dodge dealer for a new vehicle. The GM of the Dodge dealer bought the truck himself and has owned it since, only putting about 5000 miles on it in the past 13 years. This is one fantastic find. The Dodge Warlock's were only produced three years, 77, 78, and 79. The big brother, the Little Red Express Truck was only made two years, 78 and 79. Warlocks had more options and choices when ordering. They came in either 2 or 4 wheel drive as well as different engine choices and colors. This 2 owner Warlock has the 360 V8 engine with an automatic trans with the shifter on the column. It is 2 wheel drive. This truck does have factory air as well as factory cruise control. It also has the original AM/FM stereo. Everything you see is original. All chrome work is in great shape as well as the grille. The chrome wheels are hard to find and these original ones are in very good condition. The interior is in great condition with no rips or tears as well as the body and bed of the truck. The original wood bed and side stakes are in their original condition also. This truck runs and drives great. Does not smoke at all runnning. The exterior stripes are fading in many places and some areas have tried to been redone. Don't worry, I have a brand new 43 piece stripe kit in the box that goes with the truck. I just wanted to leave it in the condition I got it and let the next owner decide if they want to chage the stripes. I want to list a couple areas that I noticed that might need some attention. The radio is not working. I have not looked into why as well as the wipers will work some times not all the time. Their is a belt/tensioner squeak upon start up then goes away. The driver door has had some work to it, but it is the correct door with all tags still in place. There is a small dent down low on the driver side by the chrome step plate, see photos. Otherwise, this truck is in great condition. I just like to disclose as much information as I know. Please email me or call me with any questions or addtional photos you need. I do have a car dealership, but this truck is not in our inventory. So no extra fees are charged. What the winning bid is is what you pay for the truck! Thank you for looking, Gary Dixon

2023 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study shows there's less quality than last year

Thu, Jun 22 2023

Vehicle inventory, vehicle pricing, and the supply chain are finally showing improvement. Vehicle quality, on the other hand, is still going the wrong way. That's the takeaway from the 2023 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study that found overall problems exceeded last year's record high. The study surveyed owners of 2022-model-year vehicles to assess the average rate of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) during the first 90 days of ownership. The average figure for the 32 ranked manufacturers in 2020 was about 166 problems per 100 vehicles. In the 2021 IQS, that dropped to an average of 162. For 2022, the average jumped to 180 problems. For 2023, the PP100 is up to an industry average of 192 — an increase of 30 problems per 100 vehicles in just two years. Let's get to the good news first: Dodge reclaimed the crown of having the lowest number of problems per 100 vehicles at 140. Buick won last year with 139 PP100, falling to third this year. Dodge was the first American automaker to top the IQS in 2021. Its return as the least problematic gives parent company Stellantis three wins in four years after Ram was crowned in 2021. It also gives U.S. brands a four-peat after Buick topped the chart in 2022 by having owners report the fewest problems. This year's top 10 is Dodge, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Buick, Chevrolet, GMC, Porsche, Cadillac, Kia, and Lexus. Stellantis gathered a few feathers for its cap, in fact. Maserati showed the largest improvement year-on-year, followed by Alfa Romeo, and Alfa Romeo posted the lowest PP100 among the premium class, beating Porsche and Cadillac. Alfa Romeo has been vocal about working to improve quality, mentioning Lexus as a target. Last year the Japanese brand finished sixth, the Italians finished near the bottom, between Jaguar and Mitsubishi. This year Alfa jumped to third, Lexus dropped to tenth. Ram was the third-best on the list of improvers from 2022 to 2023.   The individual model with the lowest PP100 is the Nissan Maxima. Now for the troublesome bits. In the words of Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power, "The industry is at a major crossroad and the path each manufacturer chooses is paramount for its future.

Chrysler killing off the 200 Convertible, Dodge Avenger

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

When Chrysler rolled out the first-generation 200 to replace the Sebring range in 2010, it included replacements for both the sedan and the convertible. The Sebring Coupe, however, was left out of the mix. And now that the second-generation Chrysler 200 is descending upon us, Auburn Hills is paring things down even further. But this time, it's the convertible that reportedly isn't making the cut. Shame, too, since the rendering above shows what could have been quite an attractive droptop.
As our compatriots at Edmunds point out, sales of the convertible model accounted for less than five percent of overall Chrysler 200 sales, and at those numbers, the considerable cost of engineering a new drop-top couldn't be justified. With the Toyota Camry Solara and Volkswagen Eos also gone from the market (well, the VW isn't gone quite yet), the discontinuation of the Chrysler 200 Convertible leaves the affordable convertible segment largely to the sportier likes of the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro and smaller European offerings like the Mini Cooper and VW Beetle.
The Chrysler 200 Convertible isn't the only derivative being left behind with the new model: so too is the Dodge Avenger. That will leave a glaring hole in the Dodge lineup, with nothing to bridge the gap between the compact Dart and the larger Charger. Whether the Dodge brand has any plans to replace the Avenger with another model, not to be based on the 200, remains to be seen.

Chrysler recalls 88,888 Darts, Durangos, and Grand Cherokees for two separate issues

Fri, Nov 18 2016

Chrysler announced a pair of recalls for the Dodge Dart, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee. They're unrelated, as the Dart recall concerns windshield washer pumps, and the Durango and Grand Cherokee recall is for fuel rails. But, as Automotive News discovered, the number of cars involved in both totals up to 88,888 cars, which is rather bizarre. Breaking down the coincidental number, we first have 34,633 2016 Dodge Durangos and Jeep Grand Cherokees recalled because fasteners on the intake manifold can come into contact with the fuel rail on some vehicles. This could lead to a fuel leak, and a subsequent fire hazard. Chrysler believes only 30 vehicles will have this defect, but it's inspecting any that could have had the issue. The other part of the 88,888 cars recalled in total consists of 54,255 2016 Dodge Darts. The windshield washer pumps on affected cars could short-circuit the wiper system, disabling the wipers. Chrysler will notify owners of all vehicles, and will replace any faulty parts at no cost to the owner. Owners can also contact Chrysler's customer care center at 1-800-853-1403.
