1998 Dodge 2500 12valve Cummins - Vin#:1B7KF23D2WJ108530 Reserve set at $7,500 I purchased this truck from a Denver dealer in 2005 with 165,000mi. It took me a year to find this specific model and I have not been disappointed. I do not know the owner history prior to my purchase. Currently the truck has 274,214mi and is in good shape, although like any truck with 275k, it is not pristine. However, I would not hesitate to drive this truck anywhere in the world from my doorstep without modification! It's a 12 valve! CONS: I thought I could repair the body work in the driver side rear quarter panel (hit in a parking lot years ago), but I thought wrong. It looks OK, but not professional. Rust on the bottom of
the passenger door - it's been there for years, but will need to be replaced at
some time. Always starts the first
time and runs great, but takes a couple of minutes till you can really get into
the power. (Especially in cold weather.) Small oil leak from
front of engine - cam seal? I went to get it fixed at Boulder Dodge 8
years ago and they said they would have to pull motor. Needless to say, I have put up with the leak - it's not big and you never need to add oil. As with many Dodge 12v 5-speeds,
it will occasionally pop out of 5th into neutral going down steep
hills. Easily goes back into gear and does not happen in any other gear.
Rarely occurs. Driver's leather seat
has been bad since I purchased it. I have a seat cover. CD player will play only
if you press down on the top of the CD once it's in the slot. Crack in windscreen. Other scratches, cracks,
dings on front, sides, topper..., but nothing major Passenger side
bed/topper has recent paint splatter that I haven't been able to rub off Do not have the
tailgate. I put the topper when I got the truck and haven't seen the
tailgate for years. Driver side seat back adjust lever is stripped - angle can be changed with vice
grips.
PROS/FEATURES: Starts easy, runs strong, handles well Dodge 2500 Laramie SLT - free and clear title 12 valve Quad cab Long bed 4wd 5-speed manual (with St.
Christopher and Jesus shift knob I epoxied on from my prior vehicle.
Hasn't moved in 8 years and may never. I have the original shift
knob.) Power windows, locks, seat, cruise control Commercial Unicover

Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.
Dodge Scat Packages add Mopar performance upgrades in three stages
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Dodge has revealed what it calls Scat Package Stage Kits that enhance the performance of the Charger and the Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter V8, and the Dart equipped with the turbocharged 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine. The Scat Packs use Mopar performance parts that also can be bought separately. Most of the upgrades increase engine output, but Dodge somehow manages to not specifically mention the power gains associated with each Scat Pack.
The three Scat Packs offered for the V8-powered cars focus on higher power ratings, and each stage comes complete with a unique engine-management calibration to optimize output. Stage one comes with a cold-air intake and a cat-back exhaust; stage two adds a performance camshaft; and stage three really gives you the goods, adding ported polished cylinder heads and performance headers.
For the Dart, the Scat Packs focus on engine, transmission, chassis and brake upgrades. Stage one will net you a cold-air intake, a short-throw shifter and slotted rotors with performance brake pads; stage two adds a cat-back exhaust system and an engine-management calibration to increase output by taking advantage of premium-octane gasoline; and stage three adds 13-inch vented brake discs up front clamped by four-piston calipers, suspension with adjustable springs and struts and performance front and rear antiroll bars.
Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
