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.

Indications of 825 hp and emissions issues for Hellcat called 'speculation' by Chrysler

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is probably one of the hottest cars of the moment mostly because of its insane, 707-horsepower supercharged V8. However, there are conflicting reports coming out that the powerplant might be having problems with its emissions compliance and may be capable of even more power.
Jalopnik says that an unnamed source within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles told it that the Hellcat was having problems meeting emissions standards at its 707-horsepower tune. The person claimed that the automaker has been testing the V8 with different types of sensors, possibly to make it a bit cleaner in the future. Autoblog spoke to SRT spokesperson Dan Reid, and he said about the claimed poor emissions, "It's totally speculation."
The source also claimed that the Hellcat had been dynoed at a monumental 825 horsepower, internally. Based on the other rumor, though, it's hard to imagine the engine being emissions compliant like that. Autoblog also asked Reid about this speculation about more power and was told, "They are totally speculating about that."

2015 Dodge Charger shows off its new look in New York [w/videos]

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

With a new look inspired largely by the Dart compact, the 2015 Dodge Charger made its New York Auto Show debut today. Along with the interior and exterior changes, an eight-speed automatic becomes standard across the range.
What hasn't changed is the choice of engines under the Charger's long hood. A 3.7-liter V6 serves as the base mill, and can be had in both rear- and all-wheel-drive varieties, while the 5.7-liter V8 is an optional item and can be had in rear-drive only. Outputs are also carried over from last year, with 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque for the six-pot, while the Hemi V8 delivers 370 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque.
The new exterior treatment is a fairly large departure from the styling tone set by the Charger since its reintroduction to the US market in 2006. The blacked-out, crosshair grille and new headlamps are the biggest changes for 2015, though there are other, less immediately noticeable updates, such as the more rounded "Racetrack" taillamps that, like the front fascia, draw some inspiration from the Dart.

Dodge not being dropped by Chrysler, CEO reaffirms

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Dodge isn't going anywhere. Despite some rumor and speculation over the future of the crosshair grille and the cars that wear it, Dodge brand boss, Tim Kuniskis, sat down with TheDetroitBureau.com, explaining that the marque isn't going anywhere. His sentiments echo those of SRT boss Ralph Gilles, who told a group of enthusiasts in July that "Dodge is here to stay!"
Dodge's death won't be "a part of a master plan to consolidate brands," Kuniskis told TheDetroitBureau.com. Instead, the brand, which is ultimately under the command of Fiat/Chrysler CEO, Sergio Marchionne, will likely ditch some of its badge-engineered models, like the Dodge Grand Caravan. A more focused Dodge, which was something Gilles has already hinted at, will likely see it exploring areas of the market that haven't been exploited by other Chrysler brands.
Kuniskis, not surprisingly, wasn't willing to delve into any detailed product plans, telling TDB that the size of the brand's lineup "remains to be seen." Regardless of how big the brand actually ends up being (it is presently Chrysler's volume brand - and not by a little), hopefully the statements from Kuniskiss can put the rumors of a Dodge closure to bed.
