Here it is, one of the rarest Dodge Diesels ever produced. It is the 1998 12 Valve Cummins with a 5 speed transmission, 4 wheel drive and it is a short bed! There was only around 400 of them ever made!

I am the second owner of this truck. The original owner is an older gentleman that I work with.  The reason this truck has so many miles is that he lives 80 miles away from work and he mostly drove this pickup. I was really excited when he sold it to me earlier this year. I thought I would never sell it, but we are expecting another baby and these quad cabs are not designed for reverse car seats. When I bought it, the truck had a service bed on it. I took it off and tried to find a regular bed for it but could not find one close by. I have a brother in law that is a talented Black Smith and he designed and built the flat bed for this truck.

As you can see from the pictures the truck is not brand new, so if you bid on it keep that in mind. It runs great. It shifts perfect. The transmission has been replaced by the original owner. He also had the injection pump rebuilt and the turbo. It has also had the front end worked on and other minor repairs. It has a Banks monster exhaust muffler. Besides that it is completely stock.  Everything works in the truck. This includes the 4x4. I put tires on it a few months ago and they only have a few thousand miles on them. There is a toggle switch on the dash that is for the flood light on the bed. In the picture of the flat bed, I put a board to cover my license plate. When the service bed was on the truck it had an auxiliary tank and that was the switch for the pump. Please bid knowing that the truck is 16 years old. Bidders that do not have any bidding history please email me first. Ask me any questions. If I can’t answer I still work with the original owner, so I can ask him. Local pick up only.

I don’t really know what a truck like this is worth, so I put the reserve around what I bought it for. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Thank you!

 This truck has been very well care for. The original owner had all the maintenance performed by the local Dodge dealer. This is the same dealer that he bought the truck. I am located about 3 hours from Phoenix or Albuquerque. If you fly into one of those cities I can pick you up in the Dodge. Please feel free to ask any questions.

Thank you

2023 J.D. Power APEAL Study shows new-car customer satisfaction scores slip

Thu, Jul 20 2023

J.D. Power survey results have been slightly up but mostly down for automakers this year, literally. In February, the 2023 Vehicle Dependability Study showed an overall decline compared the 2022 a month before the Customer Service Index Study did the same. The trend reversed in June with a better overall score on the 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Consideration Study than in 2022, then declined again the same month on with a lower overall score on the 2023 Initial Quality Study. The declines continue with the 2023 J.D. Power U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, overall satisfaction among the 84,555 respondents down two points overall compared to 2022, to 845 out of 1,000 points. Because last year's score dropped compared to 2021, this year marks the first consecutive decline in the study's 28-year history. The study tries to "[measure] owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement with new vehicle" after 90 days of ownership by asking new owners to rate 37 attributes in 10 areas around the vehicle, such as the feeling they get when they hit the accelerator. Satisfaction with nine of the attributes is down this year versus last, fuel economy the only segment to show better results with 15 points more satisfaction. Styling and infotainment are big drags on satisfaction. Responses to new car exterior looks tallied 888 points, down from 894 last year, the largest drop in this year's study. On the digital side, less than half of those surveyed this year said they prefer using a manufacturer's built-in infotainment. From 70% of respondents in 2020 preferring to use a manufacturer's in-house software to play audio instead of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, that's 56% in 2023. Going all-in on Google appears to have the best effect. J.D. Power said that vehicles with both Google's Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) and Google Automotive Services (GAS) "score higher in the infotainment category than those with no AAOS whatsoever. AAOS without GAS receives the lowest scores for infotainment of the three categories."  Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power, said, "Despite the technology and design innovations that manufacturers put into new vehicles, owners are lukewarm about them. While innovations like charging pads, vehicle apps and advanced audio features should enhance an owner’s experience, this is not the case when problems are experienced.

Dodge Viper production to end after 2017

Tue, Jun 21 2016

We can't say we're surprised, but we're still saddened to report that the Dodge Viper will not live on past the 2017 model year. It's had a solid 25-year run, though, and that's worth celebrating. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles does just that for the Viper's final model year, with five special editions (some of which seem less special than others, admittedly): The 1:28 Edition ACR, GTS-R Commemorative Edition ACR, VoooDoo II Edition ACR, Snakeskin Edition GTC, and Dodge Dealer Edition ACR. Instead of running through what makes each of these 2017 Vipers special, we'll direct your attention to the press release below and the images above. All but the Dodge Dealer Edition commemorate memorable Viper models of the past 25 years, and the GTS-R is probably the pick of the litter with its classic blue-on-white paint scheme. Unless you prefer to err on the side of gaudy, in which case Dodge has you (and your car) covered with Snakeskin Green. If none of these special-edition Viper models strikes your fancy but you'd still like to park a 2017 Viper in your garage, fret not. Dodge is still offering its "1 of 1" customization program for the Viper's final year of production. Finally, instead of dwelling on the past, even when that past is as exciting as the Viper's, let's choose to look to the future with the only logical question left unanswered: What's next?

Chrysler minivans under investigation for stalling after fuel refill

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least one man has reported that his 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled unexpectedly on the highway shortly after being refueled. The unidentified man who contacted NHTSA regarding the issue cited as many as eight similar instances reported by other drivers.
NHTSA has announced that it will launch an inquiry into this issue, which could affect as many as 160,000 minivans from Dodge and Chrysler that were sold in 2007 (or more, if a problem is found that extends to additional models years, we'd assume). As of yet, there's no formal investigation, let alone a recall, on these vans, as the agency is merely determining if further action is needed.
Two months ago, Chrysler recalled nearly 700,000 vehicles, the majority of which were minivans, from the 2008-2010 model years to replace ignition switches after an investigation found that their weak springs and detent positions could fool a driver into thinking the car was in the "Run" position, when it's actually in the "Accessory" position.
