  Up for bids I have my very nice looking glossy black extended cab long box 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT 4 wheel drive with the Cummins Turbo 12 valve with 197611 miles on it. 

  The truck runs great and is very dependable.
  The tires where replaced new at 181431 miles right after I painted the truck.
  This was originally garnet red with the gray bottom.
  Comes with the double chrome roll bar, chrome nerf bars, chrome grill guard, and visor with lights.
  This has the automatic transmission that was rebuilt wth upgraded torque converter at 126670 miles. The transmission still shifts good.
  Has the 4 inch strait pipe all the way back.
  The last photos show sticker information on the truck
  I bought the truck used from Billion Dodge Chrysler Jeep in Bozeman Montana in 07 with  154900 miles on it and it had this 4 inch strait pipe exhaust.  I had a local Diesel shop add the 95 horsepower torque plate.
  This truck has a lot of horsepower and torque.
  The fuel milage is very good. I will do 24 miles per gallon at its best and goes down the faster you go or the harder you push it.
  The paint is still very nice with some chips and nicks from Winter driving but not bad.
  The interior is fairly nice with a small tear in the headliner from packing snowmobile hoods in the cab and a few stains that should clean up.
   The truck is mostly a no smoking truck and I do not smoke, but I have had people light up there smokes in the truck when I was not in it. It does not smell of smoke but has light evidence that someone has tried to. So its best for me to say very little smoking has been done in the truck. 
   I removed the flip up fifth wheel hitch when I replaced the box but the bracket is still on the frame and I have the hitch yet that goes with the truck.
  The electric door lock was removed from the drivers door to prevent the passenger from locking the truck on me.
   This has been a very dependable truck and the only issue I have had is that once in a while the fuel cut off will not kick in. This only happens when the truck is warm so I learned to just run the starter and not wait for the wait light to go off if it is above 60 degrees out or engine is warm.
  There will be a few more miles on it because I am going to have the AC  fixed on Thursday morning. I t is just a high pressure switch leak so it will be replaced and recharged.
  This truck is good for a lot of miles yet. It has been a great truck I would love to keep but I need the money for health reasons.
  I do not know the history of the truck before I got it but since I had it i had a motorcyle catch the grill guard and I slid off a icy winter road in a snow storm into the snow piled 6 foot high along the highway that caused some damage to the drivers side. I repaired the damage replaced the box because I found a box in nice condition and painted the truck black. This was in the Spring of 2009. The front end had tie rods and some other parts replace and wheels allinged then also.
   When I changed out the box I noticed that on the old box it had brackets for transmission coolers on both sides.
  This must have been done when the transmission was rebuilt. This is a plus for the transmission because these automatics will take almost anything if you keep them from overheating.  I recomend you have them or a large trasmission cooler installed if you want to pull loads or even making it shift in to overdrive under full power.
  I never pulled anything heavier than a car trailer with a car on it.

2014 Dodge Dart Blacktop hits the pavement ahead of Detroit

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

Dodge is getting ready to spread the Blacktop-themed love to the smallest member of its lineup. Last year, the automaker offered up Blacktop versions of the Avenger, Challenger, Charger, Durango, Grand Caravan and Journey. And now the Dart, too, gets its dark on for 2014, with the $295 package offered on Dart SXT models equipped with the Rallye Appearance Group. The Dart Blacktop will make its debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week.
As with the other Blacktop special-edition models, the Dart Blacktop gets glossy black accents for a "sporty, sinister look." The blacked-out treatment spreads across the 18-inch wheels to the crosshair grille, grille surround and headlamp bezels. The interior sees a similar treatment, with black and light tungsten or black and ruby red cloth to go with red accent stitching on the instrument panel, center console and seat bolsters.
For the 2014 model year, all Dart SXT and Limited models receive the 2.4-liter MultiAir2 Tigershark engine with 184 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque, and since the Blacktop is based on the SXT, that's the powerplant buyers of this special-edition will get, too. Expect the 2014 Dart Blacktop to hit dealers in the first quarter, and while you're waiting, feel free to read more in the official press release below.

2014 Challenger R/T Shaker, Mopar '14 Challenger bring back iconic hood

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Enamored of the Dodge Challenger but wish you could get one with a shaker hood? We've got good news, because Dodge and Mopar have teamed up to bring it back.
The 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker packs the same 5.7-liter Hemi V8 as the standard Challenger R/T, but upgrades the business end with a through-the-hood exposed cold-air intake system. The retro hood scoop protrudes from the center of the hood in satin black (matching the decklid spoiler) to feed the Hemi and shakes with the engine just like the original from 1970. The Shaker model also comes with a Super Track Pak that adds a new steering rack, brake linings, shocks and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car rubber. You can also shut off the stability management system completely in this car. A series of interior and exterior trim enhancements round out the look. The whole package adds $2,500 to the price of a Challenger R/T Classic for an all-in MSRP of $36,995.
In case that's not enough, Dodge is also offering a limited-edition Mopar Challenger that follows the 2010 Mopar Challenger, 2011 Mopar Charger, 2012 Mopar 300 and 2013 Mopar Dart. Limited to just 100 examples, the 2014 Mopar Challenger gets the same Shaker hood intake, unique graphics and wheels, an enhanced interior and a long list of optional extras from the Mopar parts catalog. Dodge isn't saying just yet how much the Mopar Challenger will cost, but you can bet it will command a considerable premium for the exclusivity alone.

Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells

Sat, Jan 10 2015

Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.
