it started life as a 1985 d350 dually gasser. lifted the body off the chassis and dropped is onto a rolling chassis and powertrain from a 1993 w250 cummins extended cab long bed. fortunately the wheelbase was almost identical and the cab along with a shortbed i purchased dropped too perfectly. the rolling chassis and drivetrain had about 140k on it when i bought it from a friend whol crushed his cab loading broken cement into the bed with a front end loader. its now almost to 146k.  i have put alot of time, money, sweat, tears, and blood into this truck.  it was an automatic until recently. i purchased a 1992 w250 donor truck to do the manual conversion.  while under neath her as i was pulling everything out i decided it best to just rebuild everything seeing as i had some spending cash at the time.  front and rear axles have been rebuilt as well as the getrag 5 speed transmission and transfer case.  i sprung for a new clutch and upgraded to the southbend clutch hydraulics package.  everything i rebuilt was sanded, repainted black and rustoleumed as well as the chassis.  this truck will literally run forever. 
i picked up a diamond plate bumper and 10k pound ramsey wench for the front but it has not been installed yet. i have a new custom aluminum one piece rear drive shaft on the way right now.  the purchase was made because after converting to manual but before deciding to sell i had huge power aspirations. was intending to make this into a sled puller and pick up another daily.  
she has no carpet. original dash and door panels were red. iv replaced them with black panels. the carpet was still red so i yanked it out. the floor is in great shape..  i like the bare metal black. its durable and tough looking.  
the seats are blue. from a second gen cummins turbo diesel. all i had at the time.  future goals were to re upholster in black leather but its a future thing.  
also if you know anything about diesels, especially the dodge cummins, you know they are typically always leaking something somewhere.  this truck does not leak at all.  its completely dry which is something i am extremely proud of.  its a rarerly attained goal, especially considering the age of all this hardware.  

again.. the truck has around 145k mileage. however when i did the manual conversion i swapped the guage cluster.  the manual cluster reads 168k, which even if that were the true mileage its insignificant for a 12 valve cummins.  

rust and leak free.

you arrange shipping.

Driving the 2019 Dodge Durango Pursuit | Bells and whistles, lights and sirens

Tue, Jul 24 2018

Recently, we went to the FCA proving grounds in Chelsea, Mich., to test out the company's 2019 model-year lineup. There are a lot of cars to choose from, and only a limited time to drive them, so since we couldn't drive the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye (that drive is coming soon, though) naturally we gravitated to the flashiest, noisiest one: the 2019 Dodge Durango Pursuit police vehicle. This is the first time the Durango is being offered as a cop car, and there are a number of features that make it fit for service. All Durango Pursuit models feature all-wheel drive, and it's available with two different engines. The standard motor is the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, providing 293 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The tester we got to drive, though, was equipped with the 5.7-liter hemi V8, good for 360 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. It also has a load-leveling performance suspension, which really helped out when we tossed it around the handling course. It has 8.1 inches of ground clearance, which means it can get to scenes off the beaten path. As much as we loved driving it, we had the most fun just playing with the lights and sirens of the Durango Pursuit. Standing outside the vehicle, the sirens and horn are incredibly loud, enough to make bystanders jump in fright. Dodge did a good job with the sound deadening, though, and the sustained wail wasn't bothersome when chasing imaginary suspects around the test track. One feature we didn't get to test out, but important to police duty, was the special Uconnect system in the Durango Pursuit. More than just an infotainment system, the seven-inch display is equipped to integrate various law enforcement systems. Another cool detail about the car, its tri-zone climate system is ideal for K9 units, with the ability to set separate HVAC settings for the dogs in the back of the car. Check out the video above, and stay tuned for more videos to come from our time spent at FCA's Chelsea proving grounds.

2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.

From Maseratis to rental cars | Autoblog Podcast #511

Fri, Apr 7 2017

On this week's podcast, Mike Austin and David Gluckman are in a huddle room (again), because the studio was already taken (again). We talk about the all-wheel-drive Dodge Challenger GT (again), as well as the Jeep Wrangler, Maserati Levante, Miata RF (again), and then David waxes poetic on mediocre rental cars (or similar). The episode wraps up with the traditional doling out of Spend My Money buying advice, with some input from an S2000 owner on advice discussed last time. The rundown is below. Remember, if you have a car-related question you'd like us to answer or you want buying advice of your very own, send a message or a voice memo to podcast at autoblog dot com. (If you record audio of a question with your phone and get it to us, you could hear your very own voice on the podcast. Neat, right?) And if you have other questions or comments, please send those too.
