2009 Ram 3500 Laramie on 2040-cars
San Antonio, Texas, United States
This is a 2009 Dodge Ram Mega Cab 3500 dually with the 6.9 Cummins diesel andthe proven reliable 68RFE automatic transmission. I purchased this truck in 2010with 5,000 miles on it from the dealership. The truck has always been in thesouthwest so it doesn’t have any issues with rust. The truck currently has52,326 miles on it. These are the original miles! I have all the maintenancerecords that go with the truck. The oil was changed every 3,000 miles with fullysynthetic oil. The truck has never been wrecked or abused. We used this for ourcross country trips and pulling our RV. This truck has about $7,000 plus inaftermarket accessories. The exhaust system and engine was to eliminate the problems associated with diesel particle filtrationsystem. So you don't have to try to figure out how to do this on your own.The truck runs beautifully! No leaks, funny noises or steering issues! The tiresare BF Goodrich Rugged Trail with less than 5,000 miles on them. Also, the truckhas on on-board air system that controls the Firestone R-Tech rear airbagsystem. This completely replaces the leaf springs in the rear and replaces withan auto leveling airbag system. It allows for a much smoother ride and helpsreduce stress on the fifth wheel trailer that you may be towing. The hitchsystem is the B&W turnover ball. It currently is ready for a goose neck hitch.If you want to use a 5th wheel, B & W sells a very nice one that just dropsright in. The front springs were replaced with an airbag system. The front airsprings have to be manually adjusted via the air values located behind the frontgrill. The inter-cooler was replaced with a larger 5.9 type to increase airflowthrough the massive intake manifold. The exhaust is the Flo-pro 5" with amuffl

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.
Dodge Viper to out-Hell the Hellcat with supercharged V10?
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The Viper wouldn't be the Viper if it wasn't the most powerful model under the Chrysler umbrella. But with the arrival of the Hellcat engine in the Dodge Charger and Challenger, the Viper has fallen behind in the bragging rights department: where the new supercharged V8 produces 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, the naturally aspirated V10 offers "only" 640 hp and 600 lb-ft - gargantuan output figures by almost any other standard, but crucially behind on the SRT power scale. Conner Avenue is going to have to do something about that.
Although the Hellcat's engine reportedly won't fit under the Viper's hood, SRT is now rumored to have another trick up its sleeve: supercharge the existing V10. According to the Pentastar performance enthusiasts at allpar.com, Chrysler has already taken delivery of the first such prototype engines so that it can begin the process of fitting it into an upgraded Viper.
The spooled ten-pot is tipped to produce around 800 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. More than that and the Viper's drivetrain, chassis and bodywork would have to be substantially reworked. Though beefier transmissions are available, fitting them would reportedly set off a domino-game of changes required to handle the added torque. Which may be something Chrysler would be prepared to do for the next-generation model, but in the meantime, 800 hp could prove enough to put the Viper back atop the Mopar performance ladder where it belongs, and give it an edge against the new Corvette Z06 to rekindle sales.
2015 Dodge Viper getting small increase in power
Tue, 29 Jul 2014The Viper is used to being the most powerful car in the Dodge and SRT stables, but the arrival of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat means that's no longer the case. The serpentine supercar is, however, reportedly getting a small boost in output for 2015, amounting to all of five horsepower.
The increase was uncovered by Road & Track courtesy of the SAE J1349 certification process to which Detroit's Big Three automakers submit themselves and which reports the Viper's output at 645 hp instead of the 640 it was rated at until now. There are a hundred factors that could have contributed to the relatively mild boost in output (best guess? nothing at all changed...), but we doubt anyone's going to complain about some extra horses under the hood.
The five-horsepower boost brings the Viper that much closer to the 650-hp Chevy Corvette Z06, not to mention the 707-hp Hellcat, but the Viper's impressive power-to-weight ratio ought to mean it'll have little problem keeping up in a straight line - which is just one of the reasons why Chrysler won't shoe-horn the Hellcat into the Viper: as R&T points out, the supercharged engine is too heavy and the blower makes it too tall to fit in the Viper's engine bay.
