1990 Dodge W250 Base Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 5.9l Cummins First Gen Diesel on 2040-cars
Providence, Utah, United States

This Truck is in overall good condition. I never thought in a million years that I would sell this truck because it is my baby, but circumstances have lead to my decision to sell it. It is not new or perfect by any-means. It will be sold as is. The motor runs amazing and I get really good fuel economy(the best is 23 mpg). The 1990 Cummins did not come with an inter-cooler. I had one installed from a 1992 dodge, so it does have an inter-cooler. While I was at it I had an HX-35 turbo installed, which a turbo that has a smaller fresh air side and a larger exhaust side. The turbo and inter-cooler were not installed to race and hot rod the truck, they were only installed for performance purposes only(better fuel economy, etc.) While the intercoller was being installed, I had the front cover of the motor removed and had the killer dowel pin fixed as a preventative measure. It had not worked itself out at all, but I had the washer put on it to hold it in place, all new seals were put on the front of the motor while this was done.
This truck will fire right up on a cold morning. In Utah it will get below zero, and the manifold heater works great and it will start right up on sub zero days. No cranking on anything. It is amazing how good it starts. This truck has been babied its whole life. I bought it from an older gentlemen that received it from his father as part of an inheritance. So it has been family owned its hole life. I have a note book with service records of all of the new parts that have been installed. A new high perfomance clutch was installed at 150,000 miles. The front and rear brakes and rotors were installed along with rear wheel seals, there is a history of all of the oil changes and there has been a few overhead valve adjustments. The brakes stop fine and everything, but they are not perfect. Maybe the front rotors could be turned to make it smoother or something, but they are fine. The paint looks good but it is not perfect either. There are some surface rust spots around the wheel wells, including under the cab on the drivers side door there is a hole the size of a quarter. The frame only has minimal surface rust there is no major rust. There are no leaks from the drivetrain. The only leak comes from the power steering gear box. This is a slow leak and it has leaked ever since i bought it. My intentions were to fix it, but the leak is so minimal that I just top off the power steering fluid everytime I change the oil and that has worked fin. It has a straight pipe exhaust, I do have the muffler somewhere if you would like that. It sounds good though, it is a real head turner. I get compliment all the time, and have guys offer to buy this truck from me everywhere I go. It has not pulled a lot of heavy loads in its life, although it is very capable. There is a trailer brake controller installed under the dash. I put the fifth wheel ball in the bed so I could pull a 5th wheel camp trailer and horse trailer occasionally. It was never abused when it was used to pull, but it pulls great and will pull anything. The interior is a great shape. The seat has had a cover on it its whole life. I took it off. There is a little bit of cracking in the side(not on the top where you sit) of the seat on the drivers side. Some of the plastic trim around the headliner has some cracking also. It is nothing major and it has been there the whole time I have owned it which is about 5 years. Whoever ends up with this old dodge will be one lucky individual and will get a hell of of a good truck that will last a really long time. I really hate to see it go. Here is a Video of the truck running(it is a cold start morning): Ebay will not let me post the link, but my youtube username is craigcanski so look it up on youtube |

2014 Dodge Durango
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Say what you want about the Dodge Durango, but ever since it came on the scene in 1998, it has occupied its own niche in the SUV market - not too small, not too big, tough, able, not always the best on the road and not always the best off-road. If it were a football player, it would be a tight-end that can block and catch. If it were a hamburger - a double burger with cheese and bacon, but not the Whopper.
As part of a mid-cycle upgrade for what was already a very capable SUV that Chrysler introduced in 2011, and built on the same platform as the Mercedes GL-Class and Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 2014 Durango has gotten some refinements worth noting that have cleaned up its tailoring and toned up its body and powerplant. The result is an SUV that shows itself to be a very good value in a category full of sticker prices that can run away faster than a kid who's been told he has to take ballroom dancing lessons.
Chrysler executives showing us the new Durango made a special point to reiterate that the Dodge brand is not going away, as has been rumored after the company took the Ram and Viper - the cream of the brand - out from under the Dodge umbrella. Turns out Dodge has been the brand attracting the most young people (who knew?) and has a younger average age buyer than Honda. The Dodge brand historically has also attracted buyers who aren't exactly Phi-Beta Cappa, which some companies worry about. Chrysler not so much. Dodge buyers tend to be more the working, high-school-educated, community-college-educated backbone of the work force in America. If they keep coming to Dodge, the Durango is a pretty good piece of hardware to save up for.
Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut
Tue, 13 Aug 2013The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.
2015 Dodge Viper getting small increase in power
Tue, 29 Jul 2014The Viper is used to being the most powerful car in the Dodge and SRT stables, but the arrival of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat means that's no longer the case. The serpentine supercar is, however, reportedly getting a small boost in output for 2015, amounting to all of five horsepower.
The increase was uncovered by Road & Track courtesy of the SAE J1349 certification process to which Detroit's Big Three automakers submit themselves and which reports the Viper's output at 645 hp instead of the 640 it was rated at until now. There are a hundred factors that could have contributed to the relatively mild boost in output (best guess? nothing at all changed...), but we doubt anyone's going to complain about some extra horses under the hood.
The five-horsepower boost brings the Viper that much closer to the 650-hp Chevy Corvette Z06, not to mention the 707-hp Hellcat, but the Viper's impressive power-to-weight ratio ought to mean it'll have little problem keeping up in a straight line - which is just one of the reasons why Chrysler won't shoe-horn the Hellcat into the Viper: as R&T points out, the supercharged engine is too heavy and the blower makes it too tall to fit in the Viper's engine bay.
