Up for auction is a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 Extendedcab SLT 4x4. The truck has 158,000 miles which is just getting broke in forthese Cummins engines. The engine starts up and runs great, she has a lot ofpower. I bought this truck from a diesel mechanic and as a daily driver butdecided to start building it up. Just had my first son last week and realizedthe truck is not going to be practical without having a club cab hinse thereason for sale.
It has an HX 40 turbo with a bigger intake.
The fuel pump is turned up and fuel plate is shavedat #100 were it has the little sliver on the bottom with advanced timing. Yesit rolls the coal but gets decent fuel mileage if you’re easy on it.
It was an automatic and had the 5 speed conversionkit done right. I just put a new clutch in 2 months ago.
It has a full 5" MDRP all the way back with a4" downpipe from turbo.
It has a BD exhaust brake with the switch on thegear shift and works amazingly. Hardly ever haft to use your brakes with it on.
It has adjustistable rear suspension air bags and they work nice when hauling.
The carrier bearing started getting a lil loose so Ireplaced that 2 weeks ago.
New serpentine belt, water pump, front wheelbearings rotors shoes and pads all last summer.
It has a 4" lift kit with 36x12.5x16 MickeyThompson Baja Claws on it right now but I also have a set of 17" rims thatgo along with the truck(tires are shot).
The bed is rhino lined as well as the whole bottomof the truck.
As for interior it’s not the greatest due it beinga daily driver but it just needs cleaned up. The driver’s seat as a whole but thatabout it.
Boost pressure and exhaust temp gauges.
The truck has its little kinks but can be very verynice truck with little work.
It needs a fuel shutoff solenoid
The fuel gauge is off by a quarter and the Speedois off due to the bigger tires.
The 4x4 works awesome it just needs a new universalso the front driveshaft is in the bed at the moment. Hasn’t had the time to putit back in.
The door lock actuator went out on the driver’sside door and will need a new one.
The rust isn’t that bad for being a 97 but it coulduse some work such as both rocker panels and the driver’s side rear cabcorner(saw it was a lil rusty when I had it on the lift 2 months ago when I putthe clutch in)
The truck is quick, gets up and goes, and will pull anything, even with what work has beendone to it now. I know there is some things that I’m forgetting and I haven’thad it dynode yet but I’m guessing it’s around 450+ horse and you can see the gaugebuild 50 psi of boost with no problem when you want it to. She has a lot ofpotential just not right in my circumstances and I hate to get rid of it butfamily comes first. I’m selling the truck as is because of it being a 97.Thanks for looking and happy bidding.
I appoligize for the pictures and the confusion on the tires. The truck currently has the 36" micky T's on it with 16 in rims. It also comes with a set of 17" rims with smaller tires(as in most of the pictures) but the tires are shot. Thanks

Mopar rolls out new Scat Packages for Dodge Challenger, Charger and Dart
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Dodge buyers looking for that extra performance edge, take note: Mopar is bringing back the Scat Pack. Announced at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas today, the new Scat Packages will be available in three stages for the Challenger, Charger and Dart starting next spring.
Upgrades for the Charger and Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine include a
new cold-air intake and cat-back exhaust, as well as a remapped ECU. Upgrade to the Scat Package 2 and you get a new camshaft, and the Scat Package 3 tosses in ported and polished heads and hi-flow headers. Upgrades for the Dart GT with the smaller 2.4-liter, four-cylinder Tigershark engine with six-speed manual transmission start with a cold-air intake, short-throw shifter and upgraded brakes. The second stage kicks in a remapped ECU and cat-back exhaust, while the Scat Package 3 for the Dart gives you even bigger brakes, an adjustable suspension and sway bars front and rear.
2014 Dodge Durango leaks ahead of NY rollout
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Even though Chrysler will reportedly discontinue the Dodge Durango after the current model's lifespan - said to be around 2016 - that isn't stopping the automaker from improving its full-size, three-row SUV. The vehicle won't debut at the New York Auto Show until tomorrow, but images are already leaking out ahead of the embargo lift, and they show that the 2014 model is getting even more aggressive styling to go with more technology inside and out.
Dodge limited its early press shots of the new Durango to just the R/T trim level, but this new look adds a meaner look to this model with more dramatic projector-beam headlights along with a "floating" crosshair grille and a restyled fascia. At the rear of the Durango, LED racetrack taillights show a family resemblance to the Charger and Dart, while a new rear fascia adds to the styling while also allowing for an integrated trailer hitch.
On the tech side, the instrument panel looks to have been redesigned to include a standard seven-inch thin-film transistor (TFT) gauge cluster, and it also appears as if Chrysler's well-liked UConnect system has been updated with the 8.4-inch touchscreen found in other Chrysler vehicles. The 2013 model's conventional console shifter has been replaced by a rotary knob for gear selection, suggesting that there are transmission changes afoot as well. We'll have more details when the silks slide off this big boy tomorrow, so stay tuned.
Dodge shows can-do attitude with grand Can'avan sculpture
Fri, 01 Nov 2013There are lots of ways to celebrate an important birthday, and all of them are well deserved. You can throw a big party, buy yourself something nice, or - if you're the altruistic type - do something for others in need. The latter is how Chrysler has opted to mark the 30th anniversary of its Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country.
Together with hunger-advocacy organization Canstruction, the Chrysler Foundation has built a full-scale replica of the Grand Caravan out of 30,000 food cans in the square at the corner of Yonge and Dundas in Toronto, a ways down the highway from where the real vans are built in Windsor. The sculpture was built over the course of 10 hours by 30 volunteers and was displayed earlier this week.
Now the installation is being taken down, and the cans of food are being donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank, which will assemble them into 2,000 food baskets to be distributed to those in need through its network of 200 food banks across the Canadian metropolis. Check out a neat time-lapse video of the build and the press release below.
