Hello Everyone, 

 Up for sale is a rare factory 1983 Dodge CREW CAB 4x4 short bed with a Cummins motor conversion. 

The truck has been a west coast truck for its entire life so it is rust free! This truck started life back in 1983 with a gas motor. i sought this truck out for it to become what you see today. This has been my pride and joy for the last 10 years. I have spent many hours getting it to this awesome condition.

 I started with a Cummins motor out of 1992 Dodge Ram that had approximately 120,000 miles on it  (Just barley broken in for these awesome motors) I used the motor, core support and inter cooler from the 1992 and I installed a new radiator. Nothing was cut to install this motor in to this truck. 

The motor does have some upgrades including 3200 governor spring, fuel pump turned up, HX35 turbo and a custom air intake. 

The motor was mated with an automatic torque flight 518 with over drive which was rebuilt at time of install. The transmission has a shift kit and a deep pan.  

The Transfer case is a divorced 205 (very desirable t-case)

Axles are Dana 60's front and rear with 4:10 gears

The truck is sitting on 20 inch black alloy wheels wrapped in Good Year Wranglers E rated 275/65/r20

The truck has been recently painted inside and out. It was originally white and red and received a full color change to a bright beautiful red! There was no major body work done on this truck. A few emblems were taken off and the holes welded and filled in but this truck is SOLID under the pretty paint. 

The Interior was in pretty good shape and the seats are original but I did replace the carpet. The front doors have factory power windows and the back is manual just how it came from the factory. 

The weather stripping was replaced around all 4 doors and the window stripping. 

The interior accessories include a Kenwood cd player , Pyrometer and boost gauge! 

The truck is equipped with a goose neck hitch as well as a reciever hitch on the back. Perfect for towing a boat or hotrods. maybe some more Cummins trucks :)


This truck does run and drive really well!! This truck is a rare and is definitely a head turner. You will get at least one person a week asking about it (at least I do) 

It does need some finishing touches to make it 100% perfect. The Ac has a small leak and it has to be recharged. The cruise control will need to be hooked up if you so desire. 


The potential of this truck is almost limitless. The Cummins motor is unstoppable. This truck will get 20 mpg if you are nice to it. 


Additional Info 


This truck is listed locally and I have the right to end the auction at any time, I am open to all offers and will return any emails OCONNELLRB@YAHOO.COM buyer pays all shipping fees and I will help the buyer or transport load the truck up.  If you would like additional pictures i can email them to you. I am not desperate to sell so please no low baller emails. I can deliver for a fee if you live with in a few hundred miles of Las Vegas, NV.  Location will determine price if you would like me to deliver. No warranty on the truck. All sales final.

2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat revealed [UPDATE]

Wed, 13 Aug 2014

Almost immediately after we drove the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, we began wondering: what's next? Pumping 707 horsepower into the Challenger seemed so crazy - and so intoxicating - we just assumed that Dodge would try that trick again.
Rumors swirled about a Charger Hellcat. Frankly it makes even more sense than the Challenger version. The Charger is a bigger car, and Dodge has never been shy about dropping monster engines under its hood. Hell (cat), we've seen Charger mules running around town that appeared to be the super sedan.
And finally, it's here. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was revealed today at a preview event near Detroit, and it will be a centerpiece of the Chrysler display this weekend at the Woodward Dream Cruise.

We cruised Woodward in the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/video]

Tue, 19 Aug 2014



We were definitely rock stars at the 20th edition of the Dream Cruise.
The yell came from somewhere in the crowd: "Hey Hellcat, push it!" We obliged with a jab of the throttle, and the 707 horses of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat roared to life. It went on like this. All weekend. It's one thing to attend the Woodward Dream Cruise, it's quite another to star in it.

2013-14 Dodge Viper recalled over faulty door handles

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The 2013-14 Dodge Viper is getting a voluntary recall affecting 1,762 cars worldwide to replace their door-handle assemblies. Of the affected vehicles, FCA US reports there are 1,451 in the US, 160 in Canada, 17 in Mexico and 59 of them outside of NAFTA. After receiving three reports of doors either not closing or opening while driving a low speeds, FCA US engineers found a new sealant from a supplier didn't provide sufficient moisture protection to the electronic switches for the door latches. If the parts get wet, this can potentially cause a short circuit. The automaker is quite clear that are no reports of accidents of injuries from this problem. As always, the recall repairs will be done at no cost to owners, and FCA US will be getting in touch with customers soon about the problem. Related Video: Statement: Door-handle Assemblies April 9, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 1,762 cars globally to replace their door-handle assemblies. FCA US launched an investigation after the Company received three warranty claims linked to doors that failed to close or opened inadvertently while vehicles were moving at low speed. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Engineers determined a sealant, newly adopted by a supplier, provided inconsistent moisture protection to the electronic switches that control the door latches. Switches exposed to moisture may short-circuit. Affected are approximately 1,451 model-year 2013-14 Dodge Viper SRT cars in the U.S.; 160 in Canada; 17 in Mexico and 59 outside the NAFTA region. Affected customers will be notified and advised when they may schedule service, which will be performed at no cost. Customers with questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.
