Up for sale is a great running hard to find 1998 dodge diesel 12 valve 4x4. This is a hard to find 12 valve with the new interior but the trusty 12 valve motor. This truck has been converted to a 5 speed nv4500 transmission that has just been rebuilt. With the new transmission comes a south bend dual disk clutch with a larger input shaft capable of handling over 600 horses and 1200 ftlbs of torque. The shocks and wheel bearings have been replaced in the past year along with deleting the only prone to fail electrical component, the fuel shutoff solenoid. A cable has been run to manually turn on and off the fuel pump. Delivery valves are dynamite diesels 042's, paired with a number 6 fuel plate and tuned afc. To help the truck breath is a Stage 2 AFE cold air intake kit with filter box, air intake, filter, and prefilter to keep down on filter cleaning. The stock turbo has been replaced by a he351cw turbo that spools much faster than stock and can push over 35 psi of boost. The injection pump has been timed to 16.5 degrees for more power and fuel economy. To move exhaust fast is a 4 inch straight pipe run out to dual 5 inch miter cut chrome stacks. The front bumper has been replaced by a custom made 1/4 inch thick steel one that has been rhino lined. Mounted under the bumper are dual nighttime driving lights to go along with the new led trimmed halogen lights that have just been installed. Cab lights and brake lights are both smoked. The truck has a gooseneck hitch and 2 inch receiver hitch along with all wiring hook ups. The truck has a pioneer cd player and has 3 autometer cobalt gauges for pyro, boost, and oil psi. The interior is in pretty good shape with the drivers seat having the most wear. The batteries are not even a year old, and a new fan clutch also has been installed. Ball joints, brakes, shocks, and water pump have all been replaced in past year. KDP has been killed, and truck is running Shell Rotella T6 synthetic oil. Transmission is running amsoil synthetic gear lube and transfer case just serviced. The truck has a brake controller, and cb radio mounted inside. The rear dana axle has also been upgraded with a yukon ring a pinion for durability and reliability. Now down to the bad. The truck does have rust. The bed has small quarter sized spots on each fender and the cab has rust all along the rocker panels. The front fenders are in good shape and the chrome rear bumper is not eaten through like many of these year models are. The dash is cracked just like all the other dodges of these years. The drivers seat does have small wear spots on it but rest of seats are in good condition. No cracks in any windows. Drivers side door could be adjusted to close better but nothing major. Head liner slightly lose next to front windshield. All in all truck is mechanically great condition with any problem areas being upgraded and modded to handle anything that can be thrown at it. The motor runs like a 12 valve should with no problems at all. The only problem areas of the truck would be the body work with rust on it. Don't miss out on this truck it is a great truck that i hate to have to sale. Any questions feel free to email with them.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
Dodge idles Viper production again at Conner Avenue
Mon, 07 Jul 2014You've got to hand it to Dodge for having the gumption to put the original Viper into production in the first place. It was, after all, much more of an emotional decision than a practical one, and a move which saw the first production V10 engine placed in a road car - long before the advent of the Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi R8, Porsche Carrera GT or Lexus LFA, not to mention the other Ford, BMW and Volkswagen Group models that used such engines.
It's now been 22 years since the first Viper entered production and the Viper still rolls on several generations later, but we're sad to say that courageous decision has not always been met with overwhelming sales success. In fact parent Chrysler was forced to idle the Conner Avenue plant where the Viper is made back in April due to slow sales. And while production resumed again as planned on June 23, it apparently didn't do the trick.
As a result, Chrysler corporate communications chief Shawn Morgan revealed to Autoblog that the assembly line has been shut down again for another two weeks. The line was up and running for nearly two full work weeks from June 23 until the holiday weekend that started on Thursday, July 3. But instead of coming back online today as planned, it's been idled again for the weeks of July 7 and 14. That means it will be July 21, at the earliest, before the serpentine supercars start slithering down the assembly line at Conner Avenue again. Once it does, however, production is set to resume at the same pace it was before the shutdown.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat's 707 storming horses can be yours for $60k
Wed, 16 Jul 2014We love a good deal on high performance. It's what traditionally makes muscle cars so appealing - you get lots of speed, for not a lot of money. For 2015, Dodge has taken this to its logical extreme, offering its new 707-horsepower, supercharged, V8-powered Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat for just $59,900. For those wondering, that works out to just about $85 per horsepower, which when compared with a typical budget performance car, like the $24,995, 210-hp Volkswagen GTI ($119 per hp), demonstrates the Hellcat's astonishing value.
The information was revealed by a photo (click on the inset image to expand) taken at this week's Portland launch event (our man Seyth Miersma is just now on the ground and will have a full report on the madness that is the Hellcat soon) for the entire 2015 Challenger range, and reveals the Hellcat's price alongside its high-powered competitors from Ford and Chevrolet.
The discontinued 662-hp Mustang GT500 started at $56,000, while the 580-hp Camaro ZL1 starts off at $58K. Indeed, the only muscle car that outprices the Hellcat is the track-focused Camaro Z/28, a car that we're guessing could still wallop the Hellcat on the right piece of track, despite being down over 200 hp.
