I have decided to sell my 2003 Dodge Ram SLT CREW cab ( 4 door ) with the rare 5.9 liter V8 engine. It has been a secondary vehicle for me and just used to run to Home Depot occasionally. I've decided to sell it and get a smaller more fuel friendly truck.  It has 164,400 miles, an automatic tranny, pw, pl , cruise, tilt, cd player with iPHONE charger/dock built in. It has the 4wd 4x4 and is black with dark interior. There is also a cold air intake, aftermarket dual exhaust with a nice rumble, side steps, and a front leveling kit. it has the factory 20" chrome rims with good tread on the tires. If you are familiar with the 2003-2006 Dodge Rams than you are aware that they ALL have the common rust over the wheel wells as well as had an oxidation problem on some of their paints. The truck did have oxidation fading from the sun on the hood, roof and parts of the bed, so last year I had those areas sanded and prepped with black primer as well as did a repair on the quarters, but some of the rust has come through again. It never bothered me in the primer, but if it did, you could just give it a fresh coat of paint. it has a bed liner and a TRAC RAC. The Rhode Island inspection sticker expires at the end of September. I installed a Brand New Battery last night (9/14/14).  The 4x4 work great.

The a/c compressor went bad beginning of last winter, so I just had my mechanic bypass it with a smaller belt and it runs fine. you could replace it or just leave it.

this would be a perfect work truck, first vehicle, or a second car for running to the dump. Due to the age and mileage, this is being sold with NO WARRANTY.

Quirks:
the check engine light randomly comes on for a few days, then goes out for a few weeks. It never seems to affect the truck so I haven't bothered with it.

the serpentine belt might need to be adjusted as it occasionally squeals at start-up for a minute or so until its warmed up. Doesn't happen all the time, just occasionally. 

the hood release lever under the hood (not the release inside under the dash, that works fine) broke of before i bought it, so the previous owner just adapted a lever behind the front grille and it works fine.

The truck runs good with no major issues that im aware of.

I will add better pics including interior tomorrow.

there is a $500.00 non-refundable deposit due at end of auction.  I will not ship the truck, but will assist the buyer any way i can

9/18/2014 UPDATE: I HAVE ADDED MORE PHOTOS AFTER I WASHED THE TRUCK, IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE A PHOTO OF, JUST EMAIL ME. ALSO, FORGOT TO MENTION THE TRUCK ALSO HAS HUSKY FRONT AND REAR FLOOR MATS, PM, HEATED SIDE MIRRORS.

NEW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH INSTALLED ON 12/13

ANY QUESTIONS BIG OR SMALL, PLEASE EMAIL AND I WILL RESPOND RIGHT AWAY. I HAVE SOLD MANY OF MY VEHICLES ON EBAY AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. 


On Sep-20-14 at 09:39:44 PDT, seller added the following information:

 Just to clarify, this is a RAM 1500.  I reserve the right to end the auction early, as It is also available locally for sale.


On Sep-22-14 at 20:00:15 PDT, seller added the following information:

9/22/2014 UPDATE: Just wanted to ad that the truck also has a factory tow package with the hitch as well as the plug built into the bumper.  I never towed anything with this truck and I don't believe the previous owner ever did either.

Also, I have a Clear Rhode Island title in my name.

2013-14 Dodge Viper recalled over faulty door handles

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The 2013-14 Dodge Viper is getting a voluntary recall affecting 1,762 cars worldwide to replace their door-handle assemblies. Of the affected vehicles, FCA US reports there are 1,451 in the US, 160 in Canada, 17 in Mexico and 59 of them outside of NAFTA. After receiving three reports of doors either not closing or opening while driving a low speeds, FCA US engineers found a new sealant from a supplier didn't provide sufficient moisture protection to the electronic switches for the door latches. If the parts get wet, this can potentially cause a short circuit. The automaker is quite clear that are no reports of accidents of injuries from this problem. As always, the recall repairs will be done at no cost to owners, and FCA US will be getting in touch with customers soon about the problem. Related Video: Statement: Door-handle Assemblies April 9, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 1,762 cars globally to replace their door-handle assemblies. FCA US launched an investigation after the Company received three warranty claims linked to doors that failed to close or opened inadvertently while vehicles were moving at low speed. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Engineers determined a sealant, newly adopted by a supplier, provided inconsistent moisture protection to the electronic switches that control the door latches. Switches exposed to moisture may short-circuit. Affected are approximately 1,451 model-year 2013-14 Dodge Viper SRT cars in the U.S.; 160 in Canada; 17 in Mexico and 59 outside the NAFTA region. Affected customers will be notified and advised when they may schedule service, which will be performed at no cost. Customers with questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.

Buick takes top spot in 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study

Tue, Jun 28 2022

People, economies, and supply chains weren't the only things continuing to get sick over the past year. The 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) is out, showing the average rate of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) during the first 90 days of ownership increased overall. 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. This year, the average jumps to 180 problems. J.D. Power says that figure is a record high over the 36-year history of the study. Buick leapt to the top of the rankings this year with the fewest issues, at 139 problems per 100 vehicles in the first 100 days of ownership. After Dodge became the first American automaker to lead the IQS in 2020, followed by Ram in 2021, this year marks a three-peat for U.S. carmakers. Dodge took second this year at 143 PP100, Chevrolet third with 147 PP100, Genesis the first luxury maker on the chart in fourth with 156 PP100. Between February and May, this year's study gathered responses to 223 questions from more than 84,000 new 2022-model-year car owners and lessees. The questions are designed to zero in on real-world problems new owners encounter with nine categories of vehicle features: Infotainment; features, controls and displays; exterior; driving assistance; interior; powertrain; seats; driving experience; and climate. As has been the case in the past few year, infotainment has proved to be the most problematic bugbear making scores worse. Considering features individually, six of 10 of the worst problem areas dealt with infotainment, causing infotainment's score of 45 PP100 to be 19.5 PP100 worse than the second-placed feature. Consumers ranked getting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to connect reliably as the most troublesome.  GM didn't just score with Buick, which was one of only nine of the 33 ranked brands to show improvement this year. The conglomerate earned first place with the fewest PP100 among all the automaker groups, and scored the most model-level awards with nine, ahead of BMW with eight and Hyundai Group with three.  This year's study again showed a gap between luxury and mass-market makers, thought to be down to the amount of tech in luxury vehicles that consumers aren't properly informed about or that doesn't act as expected — that latter issue exacerbated by the chip shortage.

The Dodge Neon is alive!

Tue, Nov 6 2018

"Holy crap! It's a new Dodge Neon! Like a new new one." Oddly, no one else on the Cancun resort shuttle seemed to notice. Or care. Ogling Mexican-market compact sedans is apparently something exclusive to automotive journalists on vacation. Yet there it was, fittingly on Dio de los Muertos, in all its resurrected glory. With a margarita in hand and an ocean in front of me, ignored, I turned my attention to my phone to get to the bottom of Neon version 3.0. Introduced for 2016, today's Dodge Neon is based upon and built alongside the Fiat Tipo/Egea, a C segment compact sedan co-developed by Fiat and Turkish industrial outfit Koc Holding. More than 125,000 were sold last year in Europe, with another 47,000 in Turkey. It's also sold in the Middle East and Africa, with Mexico alone getting the Neon version. Exterior styling is really the only difference, and then, only the crosshair grille manages to identify it as a Dodge. Then again, the same could be said for the not-so-dearly departed Dart, which belonged to the same segment. It was much bigger, though, with an extra 6 inches of overall length and 3 inches of wheelbase (which, as I just discovered, is "distancia entre ejes" en espanol). The Neon interior, not surprisingly, is pretty much the same as its Fiat siblings. The dash has two variations. A bigger, upgrade touchscreen resides in a dash-mounted, tablet-style infotainment pod, but the standard stereo head unit or 5-inch touchscreen upgrade fits into a binnacle shared with the instrument panel. It's a bit more like the Challenger, Charger, and yes, Dart in this regard, but in total, the Neon's cabin design is also less blocky and more organic in appearance. The switchgear is pure Fiat, but the steering wheel has the same control layout as Dodges, Jeeps and Chryslers. Power comes from the Challenger Scat Pack's 6.4-liter Hemi V8. No, it doesn't, I totally got you. The standard engine, dubbed FIRE, is a 1.4-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder good for 95 horsepower and 94 pound-feet of torque. So, less than the Scat Pack. The optional engine, dubbed E.TorQ, which is in no way related to the Ram's eTorque mild hybrid system and not especially eTorquey, is a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder good for 110 hp and 112 lb-ft. Sadly, the Neon color selection is in no way neon, which probably doesn't matter since virtually every car on the Yucatan peninsula is painted white.
