Up for auction is a 99 Dodge Ram Van 1500 5.2L V-8. Runs strong and has a rebuilt 4sp automatic transmission that was rebuilt 3 months ago at the local Dodge dealership. The front end suspension and rear brakes were rebuilt by the dealership also within the last year, plus a thorough alignment was done. The brake proportioning valve was also replaced there too. The air conditioning blows cold and has worked well ever since I bought it. Being a black vehicle that is a nice feature to have during our Georgia summers! I switched out the doors with those from a conversion van so that I could have the power windows and power mirrors. I didn't get the power locks installed since it would require the whole keyless entry setup to work, but the power mirrors are great for checking blind spots while being able to adjust them down to avoid headlight glare from behind. I still have the original non-power doors and can include them too if you like.
The cruise control and all accessories work fine, title in hand and it passes local Georgia emissions, plus it has new plugs, wires and battery. The tires are a year and a half old and are at least %75 tread left, plus they've just been rotated. Safety cage installed and the blanket across it cuts down on the road noise, plus helps the AC and heat work better. The body is in good rust free shape, though its seen plenty of dents and scratches. It was originally built with the rear window delete and black paint option, the windowless feature was helpful for me as I used it at my last job as an aircraft mechanic supporting the National Guard. We often had to drive expensive parts and equipment across several states to fix the airplanes and it was helpful not to have any windows to show what we were hauling. Having the air conditioning, the stereo and the cruise control helped a lot on those long road trips.
The issues I didn't get around to fixing are; it still has a small oil leak from under the distributor seal, the windshield is cracked and there is a new sliding door skin where a past owner was hit in the side, and lots of little dents and scratches, and worn seats. Mileage reads about 233343 but was registered as exempt when I bought it so it may be inaccurate. Sometimes in stop and go traffic the brakes shudder a bit. This happened after they were rebuilt and the drums were replaced, but the faulty proportioning valve caused them to overheat and they warped slightly. The valve was replaced and the drums resurfaced but since they are new, I didn't feel the need to replace them.
Now that the program has ended and our site closed, I no longer need a vehicle like this and I bought a pickup truck that can carry my whole family. I spent a lot of money to fix up this van mechanically so there wasn't anything left over to improve its looks. This truck looks beat up and wont win any beauty contests, but it will make a comfortable and reliable workhorse for someone.

Dodge Challenger spied exercising supercharged Hellcat Hemi V8
Wed, 23 Oct 2013One of the prime complaints against the Dodge Challenger is that, even in SRT8 guise, its 470 horsepower is responsible for hauling over 4,200 pounds of vehicle. For comparison, the 420 hp in the Ford Mustang GT only has to deal with 3,618 lbs. Things only get worse from there, as the higher-performance variants of both the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro are far more powerful than an SRT8 without adding on much heft.
So what is Chrysler to do? The correct answer is add a whole lot more grunt to its hefty two-door and even the odds. That's where the all-new Hellcat engine comes into play. We reported on this engine in May, and suggested that the Hellcat, a supercharged powerplant based on a 6.4-liter V8, would easily generate 500 to 570 hp and could likely arrive boasting more than 600 ponies.
Chrysler's ace in its sleeve has now been spied testing, with a number of Hellcat-equipped Challengers running the potent new engine both in more urbanized areas and under the sun of Death Valley. The hoods on these testers have been raised to accommodate the engine, and that camouflage over the fascias of these prototypes is there to hide a larger air intake. We also note what appears to be a new split grille under wraps. As for power output, our spies are now suggesting a Viper-equalling 640 hp from the Hellcat-equipped cars.
Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene
Tue, 13 May 2014Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.
2014 Dodge Durango Ron Burgundy ads already have 2.7M views [w/videos]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013The guy who once made the Dodge Stratus a punchline of sorts is now a spokesman for the 2014 Dodge Durango, and the move appears to be paying off handsomely for Dodge. Will Ferrell, acting as 1970s-era TV news personality Ron Burgundy, has teamed up with the automaker for co-branded advertisements between the refreshed 2014 Durango and Ferrell's new movie, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Like Ferrell's fictional character, the ads are outrageous, flamboyant and a bit random. They're also successful: Automotive News says that more than 2.7 million people have already watched the videos since they debuted on October 5.
Those views are similar to the numbers that AN's top viral video of the year (e.g. Volkswagen's "Get Happy" Super Bowl ad) received, but there will eventually be as many as 70 videos comprising the Burgundy-Durango spots. According to the report, the videos were created primarily as a viral campaign online, although some are airing on television, too. For Dodge's part, the cost of the videos was significantly lower than a usual television campaign thanks to the fact that Ferrell wasn't paid for the spots since they were made in cooperation with promotional efforts for his new movie.
We've already posted a few of the videos in our previous post, but scroll down for several more - and head over to Adweek for a little added background on how these spots came to be.
