Ok, so I'm listing a 2003 ram quad cab ST/SLT. The vin is 3D7LU38673G848698. This has the Cummins with auto and four wheel drive. I acquired this truck in trade back in December 2011. I got it from the original owner with 298509 miles, it now has 332,150. This truck has a fisher minute mount 2 three plug plow set up, but no plow. I've never plowed with it, but it was used as plow and work truck up till I got it. This truck is a work plow truck and it was an east coast truck with plenty of road salt. This truck has dents, scratches, rust and rot. It needs work. This truck still runs and drives, 4x4 works, tires are matched set of firestones with 6/32nds left. I was still using it till last week and am now driving a shop truck.  I started driving a shop truck because the rear axle is making some noise and I don't have time for a project anymore. I have not opened the rear, but I am sure it is getting worn, so it's time for someone else to work on this. When I first got this truck, I had to put a new radiator, new transmission cooler, one new transmission line, right front caliper, new front axle u-joints, new front wheel bearings, new front rotors, one injector line and a new oil pan. The transfer case was rebuilt with new chain sprockets, bearings, and even new cases, but I didn't replace the selector switch so the dash light to show it being engaged does not work. I really will miss this old truck, but I can't justify keeping it. Last winter I think the heater core plugged and needs replaced. The windshield wiper module needs changed, the drivers side works but linkage to pass side does not. The air conditioner worked last year, but now I can hear a hissing by the air filter, so it will need new lines and some work. The cd player never worked. The drivers seat side is worn off, drivers arm rest is cracked, the drivers rocker is rotting thru and all the corners are starting to show rust. It is still drivable, but the check engine light is on 70% of the time. I was told it needed an FCA, but it has been very fun and dependable. I drove this back and forth to east coast a few times and towed all kinds of stuff with this truck.  The person I got it from said at 240000 he had transmission rebuilt, and the only thing he ever had to replace on the engine was one water pump--Love the Cummins! The bed is off another truck. The last owner said that one of his workers hooked a ditch with the plow and spun into a delivery truck, and had to get the bed, rear axle, and bumper changed. Also the truck was repainted some time ago. Anyway ask questions and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I recommend you come and look at it if you are interested.

NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.

Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The problem was discovered by the automaker during testing.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.
