  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.

1968 Dodge Super Charger is a super Charger with a supercharger

Wed, Oct 31 2018

Mopar's latest custom creation is sure to be in the running for coolest car at this year's SEMA show. It's a 1968 Dodge Charger, a car selected in part because this year marks the car's 50th anniversary, but taken to the extreme and renamed Super Charger. The headliner of the car's radical upgrades is the new "Hellephant" engine. It's a take on the original car's 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8. But this new engine, with the same displacement, is based on the current Hemi V8, and adds a supercharger. All told, it makes a whopping 1,000 horsepower and 950 pound-feet of torque on 93 octane pump gas. It will be available as a crate engine, too. The engine is far from the only impressive change to the car. All over the body are mild to wild tweaks. The wide, uninterrupted grille from the original is still here, but it's a one-piece example now. And instead of hiding the headlights behind doors that have to open for illumination, the lights simply shine through the grille, retaining a clean look even at night. The whole car sits 2.5 inches lower than stock, and it's now four inches wider thanks to the huge fender flares. They house 305-mm-wide tires up front, and 315-mm tires in the rear. Likely the most complicated change to the car is the lengthened wheelbase. There are two more inches between the wheels now, something Mopar did to reduce the front overhang. A close second in complexity are the taillights. They're the same shape as the originals, but now the round elements are actually exhaust outlets. The tips also happen to be the same as those on the Alfa Romeo Stelvio. There are other details that help bring together the exterior. The rain rails have been smoothed out on the roof, the vent windows removed, special 426 stickers have been added, and the fuel door now has a Hellephant badge with a blue background with lots of little Mopar Ms. The interior gets some attention, too. The rear seat has been removed, Dodge Demon style. It gets a custom roll bar designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, even getting the hoop around the seats to roughly line up with where the windows meet. Gauges come from the Mopar catalog, and the steering wheel and seats are from the dearly departed Dodge Viper. They're particularly relevant, as the six-speed manual transmission comes from the Viper, too. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Dodge engineers trying to shoehorn Pentastar into Dart?

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

The fact that the Dart's launch has been a pretty dismal affair isn't what we'd call secret. Judging by its mounting inventories and poor critical reception, Dodge's successor to its unloved Caliber has struggled since it hit the market. And while both of those are difficult problems to address, at least their cause is well known - the powertrain.
Even Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has acknowledged that the powertrain options in the Dart are substandard, admitting at January's Detroit Auto Show that the powertrains are "less than ideal." Leading with the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Fiat 500 Abarth left a bad taste in the mouths of consumers thanks to the laggy engine and dead throttle response (to say nothing of the manual and dual-clutch gearboxes that needed more refinement). The addition of the 184-horsepower 2.4-liter Tigershark in the Dart GT has helped matters some, but apparently Auburn Hills doesn't think it's quite enough.
If rumors are to be believed - get that salt ready - a possible solution may be in the works. A report from Allpar is claiming that Dodge is considering fitting a Pentastar V6 into the Dart's engine bay. As the Mopar-obsessed website points out, the critically acclaimed Pentastar is available in three different sizes - 3.0 liters, 3.2 liters and the original 3.6 liters. We don't get the 3.0 here in the US, but the 3.2 can be found in the new Jeep Cherokee and the 3.6 has been seemingly fitted to every model Chrysler can shoehorn it into.

Ram to go on a Rampage with new small pickup?

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

When people look back at today's automotive industry, what do you think they'll remember us for? The emergence of hybrids? Ever more expensive and exotic supercars? The dawn of the self-driving car? All likely scenarios, but so is the blurring of lines between one bodystyle and another, giving rise to hardtop convertible coupes and crossovers of every shape and size. But one bodystyle the North American auto industry has stayed largely away from in the past couple of decades is a car nose and chassis with a pickup bed.
It's a bodystyle immortalized by the Chevrolet El Camino, but with few exceptions, we haven't seen too many of these automotive platypuses in recent years on our turf. Subaru tried with the Baja and the low-volume Honda Ridgeline soldiers along largely unchanged, but the genre's biggest adherents are still Down Under, where ute versions of the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon live. With a few other examples scattered to the four corners of the earth, that's really about it. But if these spy shots are anything to go by, it looks like Fiat Chrysler Automobiles could be working to bring it back.
Spied undergoing testing in Michigan, what we appear to be looking at is a heavily disguised Fiat Strada being prepared - like the Fiat Ducato-based Ram ProMaster and the smaller Doblo-based ProMaster City - for Stateside duty as a Ram product. The Strada, for those unfamiliar, is a product of Fiat Automóveis in Brazil and is based on the Palio economy car. The nameplate has been around South America since 1996 and was originally designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro (long before Volkswagen monopolized his talents), and takes a more rugged approach in the form of the Strada Adventure.
