Wesley Chapel, Florida, United States

2002 Dodge 3500, dually, diesel.  Just under 230,000 miles.  Runs, fine, does not burn oil.   Has some scratches / dings as shown in pics. Bed is not original. I traded the original bed for a flat bed when I was building my house and then sold the flat bed and bought a used bed which is on the truck now. 

Power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt steering.  After market CD/AM/FM radio.

Has an 'edge' chip which gives it another 85HP, cold air intake and mandrel bent full flow exhaust.

A/C and dash were recently replaced.

Has a gauge pod on the drivers side which shows boost, exhaust temp and tranny temp.

Extra tranny cooler.

Super hitch on the rear end and a front hitch that you can mount a winch if you like. I used the front hitch to back a trailer into tight spots.

Rear inner tires were removed, but I still have them and will go with the truck.  Removing the inner wheels gave me about 1.5 extra MPG. 

When I replaced the dash, I broke the wire that shows what gear the truck is in, so, it always shows that it is park.  It has no affect on shifting or driving.

The heater core leaked so it was bypassed as it was dripping water into the cab on the front passenger side.  I live in Florida, and there is no need for heat but for a week or so a year.

All in all, it is decent, hard working truck. I am the original owner and have changed the oil with Rotella T synthetic every 5,000 miles.  Tranny fluid has been changed every 2 years.  I bought it to tow a 34' boat to and from the boat ramp and to haul construction materials when I was building my waterfront house.  The house is built, the boat is on davits and I do not need a heavy duty truck anymore.  So, I downsized to a Ram 1500 and this truck must go.

Good running truck, but sold strictly as is.

NHTSA investigating 110,000 Ram 2500s and 3500s, one death alleged

Fri, 23 May 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation focusing on 110,000 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups from model years 2004 to 2006. One death has already been reported, according to NHTSA, due to a potential fault with the clutch interlocks on manual-transmission versions of the heavy duty pickup.
According to the report, these trucks can be started without depressing the clutch. There have been three reports so far, and as we mentioned above, one very sad incident seems to have resulted in the death of a child.
"One complaint involved an incident that occurred when a child was able to enter the vehicle and start the ignition without depressing the clutch. The vehicle then moved forward striking another child resulting in a fatality," NHTSA said in the investigation bulletin, which you can view below.

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
