2007 - Dodge Ram 2500 on 2040-cars
Auburn, California, United States
" SILVER " my beloved Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 diesel 4x4 Quad cab ( not mega ) with tow package. HIYO SILVER ! Permanent California truck. Stock truck with no aftermarket additions. No real four wheel off road mileage. I have owned too many vehicles to count and this Dodge Ram truck is by far my favorite truck ever. It is just simply the strongest, best running, most stable handling truck I have ever owned. The sweet whistling sound of the turbo winding up @ 55-60 MPH rolling down the interstate is simply music to a man's ears. I bought it " used " from Haddad Dodge in Bakersfield Ca., Sept 11th 2009, with 18K miles on it. I had looked all over and found different and cheaper trucks, but this was " the one ". It had factory maintenance before I bought it as a " certified " vehicle. I personally changed the oil myself @ 3K mile intervals after buying it. It was also changed twice in a lube shop due to schedule only. The owners manual recommends an oil change at 15K mile intervals. It was changed at 3K mile intervals anyway. Initially with "Delo" then switched to Rotella. Air/fuel filters were changed with oil changes. The auto transmission was serviced at factory recommended 30K intervals with oil/filter changes. I planned on this being the last vehicle I would ever own so she was babied and pampered. It has 116,000 + miles on it now. I worked as a paramedic out of town and commuted 200 miles + - for shifts so 90% of miles are highway miles. I have replaced 1 set of tires/ brakes as needed, but other than that no major repairs/issues. I used to normally put 3-4K miles per month on it until 2 years ago when I switched jobs and now fly to work out of state. I do not even put 3K miles a year now on her and subsequently.....I am going to sell her. Everything works on it. Everything. Even the factory sliding " sunroof" works letting sun in and stress out. I don't use 4 wheel drive here in California but I would take it off road once or twice a year/6 months or so and engage the 4 wheel system and drive in 4 low & 4 high. Forward and backward, full lock left to full lock right to move everything around to lube it up. I placed it on a "non op" last March and have only driven it to be " smog checked "at a local shop. It has newer tires Hercules 285/70 R17 on it with 9K miles on them. Has 2 new batteries also in March. Comes with spare/emergency serpentine belt and both radiator hoses. Has tool box in bed.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
