1997 Dodge Ram 3500 dually extended cab 5.9L Cummins 12 valve turbo diesel, NV4500 5-speed manual transmission, rear wheel drive, Laramie SLT package w/leather interior, power drivers seat, tilt/cruise, power windows, power door locks, Cold A/C, AM/FM stereo w/CD, gooseneck hitch in bed and 2 inch receiver hitch attached to frame @ factory. I have owned this truck for the past eight years. When I purchased it, it had 199,600 miles on it. I purchase a factory rebuilt transmission, had it installed along with new Clutch and pressure plate(synchronizer was starting to make noise in 5th gear & would slip out of gear at times). Brakes were replaced @ about 215,000 miles, it now has 230k miles on it. Front tires have 4000-5000 miles on them. Rear tires still have decent tread. I have owned many new Dodge trucks every year from 1993 to 1999. I used to put 80-100,000 miles a year on them. Every fall, I would order a new truck and sell the previous year truck. I found the 1997 model year to be the most reliable. That’s why I decided to buy this one in 2006 because I could not justify buying a new truck to drive it only 3,500-4,000 miles a year. I am retiring this year and will be driving the Dodge truck even less, so I have decided to sell it. It has new paint( Colorado sun likes to fade the paint) & looks great, interior is showing signs of cracking from our dry climate, the rear seat has a sizeable tear (chunk) out of it. It was there when I got it. Being that it’s a work truck, it never bothered me enough to have it replaced. No rust as this truck was purchased new in western Kansas (Goodland) and has been in Colorado for the past 8 years. I have a copy of the original title from Kansas. It has the typical oil leaks for a diesel, nothing major. Also, I just noticed the dash vents aren’t working. The blend door blows cold air out defrost & floor vents & A/C blows cold. A vacuum line that operate the blend door may have come loose. Should be an easy fix. This is a good work truck. It is not new, but, it gets the job done. Take a look at the pictures that I have posted below. I think you’ll see how nice this truck is for the money.

FCA recalling Chrysler and Dodge minivans, Dodge Nitro SUVs for faulty airbag covers

Fri, Jul 10 2020

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said on Friday it would recall about 925,239 of its older model vehicles in the United States to replace airbag covers on their steering wheels after 14 potentially related injuries. The recall is limited to 2007-2011 Dodge Nitro SUVs, 2008-2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans, the Italian-American automaker said. The move follows an FCA investigation that found these vehicles were equipped with certain clips that may loosen and disengage over time, and in case of a driver-side airbag deployment the clips could act as projectiles. Fiat Chrysler said none of the potential injuries involved occupants of front-passenger or rear seats and that the airbags were not supplied by Takata.

Roadkill builds crazy-cheap 1968 Dodge Charger rat rod using an old motorhome

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

Certain requests for description simply cannot be fulfilled, like if someone asked you to describe Picasso's Guernica or Gilliam's Brazil. There is only one appropriate answer to such entreaties, and that is: "You just gotta see it." That's where we are with the latest episode of Roadkill, wherein Messr's Freiburger and Finnegan dig out a 1968 Dodge Charger that Freiburger acquired in exchange for a set of cylinder heads, and intend to stuff it with the big-block motor from a long-bed, three-quarter ton Dodge pickup.
Only the pickup is too nice to tear apart, and the Charger needs a whole lot more lovin' - and parts - than initially expected. Enter, stage right, the Class A Dodge Pace Arrow motorhome with a 440 big-block purchased for $1,000, and a retired Plymouth Fury from a previous episode.
What ensues over the course of the 40-minute installment is more cuttin', yankin', leakin', stallin', hammerin' and smokin' action than you've seen in a long time, and some techniques that would have made even Cooter wonder, "I'm not sure if we should do that." By the end, though, the payoff is good enough to make you think about perusing AutoTrader for a '68 Charger just to see if maybe...

Takata airbag deaths prompt Stellantis to warn owners to park 275,000 cars

Thu, Nov 3 2022

Two additional deaths linked to exploding Takata airbags have prompted Stellantis to issue a do-not-drive order for the 2005-2010 Dodge Charger, Magnum and Challenger, along with the Chrysler 300. The company is warning any customers who have not yet had their vehicles inspected in accordance with previous recall campaigns to park their cars until they are able to do so. This order covers more than 275,000 vehicles on the road.  No new recall has been initiated to address the faulty airbags as all of the vehicles in question are within the original population of the massive 2015 campaigns carried out by virtually every major automaker after industry supplier Takata's airbag inflators were identified as the cause of several fatalities when moisture caused them to explode rather than deploy normally in a collision.  "FCA is and has been engaged in aggressive outreach to encourage vehicle owners and custodians affected by Takata recalls to obtain service," the company's statement said. "To date, through various initiatives, the company has generated nearly 210 million standard and first-class letters, courier deliveries, e-mails, text messages, while also making phone calls and home visits." Stellantis insists that its dealers have more than enough replacement inflator inventory to cover all outstanding vehicles on the road and is encouraging owners to schedule their service as quickly as possible; the company says the replacement procedure for a defective airbag inflator normally takes less than an hour. All safety recalls are performed free-of-charge for customers.  Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
