I am selling my 2011 Dodge 5500 Crew Cab SLT 6 speed Manual in Great Condition. This truck was used to pull a three car wedge type trailer mainly in the Midwest and southeast. I'm  selling this truck because I purchased a Freightliner truck with a sleeper and no longer use this truck. Almost all mileage is Highway miles. It is a clean truck inside and out. No major dents or scratches on the exterior of the truck. The bed has scratches and some surface rust on it, nothing major. The interior is very clean, no rips or any stains to speak of still looks NEW. please check the pictures as you will see the window sticker that lists all the features on the truck. the truck also has an extra 50 gallon fuel tank mounted on the passenger side of the truck giving the truck a total of about 105 gallon capacity. Tires are good, Brakes are good. The transmission, clutch and flywheel were replaced around 50,000 miles ago I believe (I don't have the paperwork in front of me but i do have records of all repairs made). The turbo, alternator and fan clutch have also been replaced on the truck. The oil and oil filter was changed every 7500 miles along with fuel filter every other oil change and all major repairs were done at Dodge Dealerships. Naturally it has been used so its not brand spanking new but its dang close. It is not the base model truck so it has carpet with extra sound dampening, built in trailer brake controller, Exhaust Brake,  power windows, locks, drivers seat, etc. Remote keyless entry, cd player, SiriusXm Sat. radio, 110v power outlet, and the A/C still blows COLD, etc. I have taken very good care of this truck and its ready to go to work! Please feel free to email me any questions.

Truck is being sold AS-IS no warranty! I can help arrange shipping if needed.

Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.

2 men die in Dodge Challenger Hellcat crash at Colorado airport

Tue, Sep 12 2017

Two friends died in the crash of a Dodge Challenger Hellcat over the weekend after they shot off the end of an airport runway, authorities said. That someone died in a 707-horsepower Hellcat is, sadly, not unexpected. But two aspects of the story are remarkable. First, the men's ages: The Denver Post reports the crash victims were Lynd Fitzgerald, 71, of Colorado Springs, and his passenger, Roger Lichtenberger, 76, of San Marcos, Calif. Second, their speed: The car was likely moving at over 100 miles per hour, authorities said. The men had permission to use the 8,300-foot runway at Central Colorado Regional Airport in Buena Vista. That's more than a mile and a half long. But when the car left the runway, it went 300 feet before flying over a ravine, hitting the ground, becoming airborne again, flipping end over end across a second ravine, and ultimately landing on its wheels 650 feet past the end of the pavement. Responding police officers tried to provide first aid, but the men were declared dead at the scene. "They were just test-driving this car. They went a little too fast. I don't want to surmise. ... They probably got to the end of the runway and, at that speed, didn't realize they were there so fast. And they lost control. It was just too high a speed and they got to the end of the runway," said Chaffee County Sheriff John Spezze. There were skid marks near the end of the runway, but the sheriff didn't know the length. "I've never seen anything like it," Spezze told the newspaper. "They had permission to be there. There were no laws broken." Related Video:

Dodge Viper recall requires small-handed mechanics

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

It has been over a year since Chrysler first announced its recall of 3,660 2003-2004 Dodge Vipers because the airbag could suddenly deploy. The repairs are finally beginning, and it appears to be a nightmare for mechanics.
According to the automaker's filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag control module can fail, which causes the bag or the seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy without warning. It took over a year to design the new parts, according to The New York Times. However, Chrysler finally has a new "jumper harness with an in-line diode filter circuit" ready to fix the problem.
The dilemma now moves to the mechanics who have to actually install the part. A 47-step guide from Chrysler explains that the procedure should take about two hours. It's not an easy job, though. Most of the dashboard has to be taken apart, and the instructions include this helpful bit of advice: "Installing the jumper harness and filter box into position is not an easy task. Patience, perseverance, and small hands are required." We wish the best of luck to them. The fix comes just in time for the Vipers to enjoy the summer sun.
