Up for sale is my 2005 Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4X4 with the 5.7 Hemi under the hood and 95,403 miles. The truck has been well maintained and never beaten, I've hauled my family and ski mobiles with it for the past several years. It has a few dings and minor dents but looks nice and shiny with 20” chrome rims. The truck is all stock, nothing is modified. In the past 1000 miles the front tires were replaced and it had new platinum plugs installed. The battery is on its second year and the brakes are still OK but will need to be done in the next several thousand miles. Same for the rear tires, they're OK but put new ones on when you can. The exhaust is fine, shocks and suspension OK, the interior is good with only minor wear and no rips or spills.

Why am I selling? For cost cutting reasons I am shrinking my fleet. I have a mini van daily driver, a Jeep and a Road Runner in the garage so the truck simply hasn't been getting much use this year. The van is better on gas and I simply don't have the time to keep up with it or the money to keep it registered and insured. It is currently unregistered; I do have a clean title in hand. Come see it and you'll be impressed, feel free to run a Carfax on it, too. I had a very minor accident a couple of years ago where I backed into the door of a parked import at slow speed (5mph). The door on the import was dented but it literally did nothing to the truck at all. My insurance fixed the other car but the truck was unharmed. It really looks as nice in person as it does in pictures.

The catch: none but in the interest of full disclosure the check engine light is on. I threw a code reader on it and it's telling me that both oxygen sensors on the driver's side bank are faulty. I priced them out and they're about $20 to $30 each so no big deal. Talking to a mechanic friend of mine he said that if it isn't the sensors it could be the catalytic converter and I priced that out to about $150 or so. If you can turn wrenches yourself or have a mechanic that can do it then you'll have a very nice truck for the money, far less than you'll find anywhere else. It has been maintained but not garaged and it hasn't been on the streets since before Halloween. I hate to see it go but I haven't the time or money for it so first person with cash takes it.

No personal checks and any bank checks have to clear before I hand over keys or title. No foreign sales, either, so if you're foreign Royalty that has a deal just for me then you shouldn't waste your time. It's out of the way so it can stay until you have registered it to drive it home.

$500 deposit via PayPal due within 48 hours of sale. This truck is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early should it sell.

Will the Chrysler 300 go front-wheel drive?

Tue, May 10 2016

FCA chief executive Sergio Marchionne hinted last week that the strapping rear-wheel-drive Chrysler 300 sedan could go front-wheel drive for its next generation using the underpinnings from the Chrysler Pacifica minivan. Speaking at the Pacifica's production launch in Windsor, ON, Marchionne said, "this plant and this architecture is capable of making the 300 successor, the front-wheel, all-wheel-drive successor," Reuters reported. Perhaps realizing he appeared to be announcing a dramatic shift in product strategy, Marchionne backpedaled in response to a follow-up question, noting only that the Ontario factory is "capable" of making the sedan. "It's capable. It's not a commitment," he said, according to Reuters. The 300 is currently built in Brampton, ON, alongside the mechanically similar Dodge Charger and Challenger. The platform, known as LX in enthusiast circles, is an evolution of Mercedes-based chassis pieces that date to the DaimlerChrysler era. Marchionne's comments didn't cover the Dodges and left a lot open to interpretation. The 300 could switch to front- and all-wheel-drive and focus on a more civilized, elegant ride character, leaving the Charger and two-door Challenger as traditional rear-wheel-drive muscle cars. That strategy would further differentiate the Chrysler and Dodge car lines. Additionally, the Charger's RWD platform makes it a popular police vehicle, and both Dodges are offered in top trim as 707-horsepower Hellcats. Switching to front-wheel drive would seemingly complicate both of those endeavors. Rumors have also swirled that Alfa Romeo could contribute RWD underpinnings for Dodge.

Texas cops pull armed suspect from burning car

Fri, Jul 29 2016

A high-speed chase through Fort Worth, Texas ended in dramatic fashion earlier this month when FWPD pulled armed burglary suspects from the burning wreckage of their escape vehicle. According to NBC DFW, Fort Worth police were dispatched to Avington Way on the evening of July 16 to investigate reports of a burglary. The burglary victim told police he had arrived home to find three individuals hauling his property out of his house. When he approached them, one of the suspects pointed a handgun at him and told him to stay back. Then all three suspects climbed into a silver Dodge Avenger and sped away. FWPD officers spotted the Avenger a short time later on Sycamore School Road and, after the car refused to pull over, the chase was on. Police chased the burglary suspects through the city at speeds approaching 100 mph until the Avenger blew a red light and was t-boned by an oncoming pickup at the intersection of California Parkway and James Avenue. As the pursuing officers closed in on the disabled car, it suddenly caught fire. One suspect bailed out and ran for it, but the remaining two were trapped inside with the flames quickly mounting. Despite the spreading fire and the threat of armed suspects in the vehicle, police officers rushed to pull the men from the wreck. The driver was removed easily, but the passenger was unconscious and trapped behind a crushed passenger door. The scene was caught on the officers' body cameras as they pried the door open with their bare hands. Eventually the officers got the semi-conscious man out of the passenger seat just as the car was completely engulfed in flames. "It was pretty dramatic. We recruit people that can think on the fly, think quickly, and perform under pressure," FWPD Sergeant Marc Povero told WFAA. All three suspects are facing charges for burglary, and the driver was charged with evading arrest.

Dodge Vipers selling for $480k in China

Wed, Apr 29 2015

Want to get your hands on a new Dodge Viper? Be prepared to pay dearly. It starts at nearly $90k here in the US, but that's nothing compared to what you'd have to pay for one if you lived in, say, China. CarsNewsChina.com reports on one Viper available in Beijing for an eye-watering 298 million yuan – equivalent to about $480,000 at today's exchange rates and representing more than a 500-percent markup. Part of that premium comes down to the Chinese tax code that charges a reported 60 percent for anything with an engine displacing over four liters. And the Viper's, we needn't remind you, is more than twice that. It naturally costs some to import a car to China as well, but most of the rest is pure profit. The Beijing dealership reportedly gets the cars from dealers in California, has already sold three and plans to import several more. The dealer can also get you (or wealthy Chinese individuals) a Corvette Stingray for a comparatively cheap 1.73 million yuan (or $280k). Related Video:
