1946 Dodge Power Wagon on 2040-cars
|
Dodge Power Wagon....this is not a stock vehicle, but original Dodge and Power Wagon parts were used. Someone long ago has mounted a civilian pickup cab to the chassis of a 1/2 ton 4 x 4 military truck. It has a very short wheel base (96 inches I think). I'm selling this truck for a friend of mine who used it to work around his ranch for years. The winch is currently apart but had some machining done to the shaft and gears. The engine ran good, but life got busy and it was parked. Rust is very minimal. Mostly it is just the windshield frame that needs replacing. I looked around and they are available, but sometimes can be expensive. Most parts are available through vintagepowerwagons website. The seats are there but the vinyl is crackly.
In terms of the modifications: someone did a very clean job of mounting a utility flat bed and roll bar. Maybe it was all fabricated, I can't really tell...it's pretty well done. He then made flares for the front fenders. Currently they are a little dinged, but make a nice touch and keep the proportions nice. I have what I think is a fair reserve...it leaves meat on the bone for the next guy to put some time and money into it. Because of it's recent history, it would be nice if this old truck finds a good home with happy tinkering hands to bring it back to life. Feel free to call if you have any questions or want more photos. Thanks, Erik (707) 357-0880. I'm reserving the right to end auction early. |

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
Chrysler recalling 700k minivans and Dodge Journey for ignition switch woes
Tue, 01 Jul 2014General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey.
According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags.
There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date."
Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines
Fri, 16 Nov 2012Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
