 2005 Dodge Sprinter was running great until,, a minimum wage mechanic got a hold of it.
  Original problem, needed an oil change.
What I got back was a van that will not start, needing 2 injectors and a glowplug.

Great running engine, used about 1qt every 9000 to 10000 miles, plenty of power, monthly coast to coast trips, mpg in the mid to upper 20s,
jasper transmission had just started to have the common rpm flare between 2nd and 3rd shift under moderate acceleration. and needed
a steering position sensor for the ESP (wheelspin) control

Had a check engine light for one of the glowplugs, they offered to change while it was there, WRONG.

Number 1 glowplug snapped, 2 days to extract it, got it running and somehow stripped the threads in the head and shot it out.
 then tapped out the stripped hole and plugged it with a bolt and wasn't notified of the botch repair but to bring it back for the new glowplug,
after a short 2500 mile trip. Second mistake, I took it back to them.

This time they noticed that number 2 injector was leaking (compression) never touched the glowplug problem, and continued to run up my bill to cover their losses
Anyway apparently he dis-assembled number two injector to remove it, lost some of the super small parts, put it back together, reseated. started the engine and
didn't run right, then took apart number one injector to figure out what he had missed and lost those parts. now it wont start at all, CODE P0087  basically the injectors are dumping fuel.

Now it needs two injectors but,,, you also need a DRBIII with a Sprinter card to program the new injectors to the computer which nobody around here has.
And those injectors only had 50,000 miles on them. So I'm stuck with a non-runner and no time to mess with it.

Up until now it has been the best van I had ever owned, just a shame they dont build this type anymore.
It was to be on IL, AZ, VA, trip this week.

Currently at my house about 45 min. SW of Peoria, towed in on a U-haul dolly and a half ton, its just over 5000lbs empty,(yes, insanity can be pretty insane sometimes) needs to be towed out.
Two owner, Always owner driven, never a fleet truck. Clean, Clear title in my name.

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...

1970 Dodge Charger destroyed by man sick of lowballers — he showed them!

Thu, Oct 31 2019

There are open and shut cases, and there's this one, the purchase and crush case. This is so wild it's hard to believe it's real. Apparently a man named Daniel Gagliardi bought a rusted-out 1970 Dodge Charger project car with the intent to flip it. Contacted by The Drive, Gagliardi said he bought the car for $4,200 and listed it for $8,500. "It was a complete car," he said, "not missing a single thing inside, out, underneath, under the hood, wasn't missing a damn thing. Had fender tag, VIN tag, clean title." Instead of negotiating with serious buyers, Gagliardi told the outlet a stream of jokers jerked him around for six months. The time-wasting took a toll, and after 180 days of "no-showers, thousands of no-showers, and a whole bunch of flakers" who didn't have the decency to bring a decent offer and cash, he decided to teach them all a lesson. So he destroyed the car, filmed the destruction, and cheered it on. The humorous and ironic part of the video is when Gagliardi tells another man off-camera, "But we got it first! We already robbed it, you can only rob it once!" After that levity, there's only chagrin for anyone sad to see a Charger meet its end so spitefully. Admittedly, however, and in spite of all the vitriol aimed at him, Gagliardi is free to destroy his own property. He's not the first person to crush a car capriciously. Any divorce attorney could tell you a book of tales about precious goods meeting ugly ends for vindictive reasons. Or there's the guy who, commenting on Gagliardi's video on another site, relates how he crushed the Yamaha quad he wanted $800 for after he "got tired of people offering me $200." Ah well. This won't be the last time. Warning for language, and exceptionally shaky video. If you're hungry for more Charger carnage after this, check out the cinematic obliterations in "7 Ways to Destroy a Charger."

2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat revealed [UPDATE]

Wed, 13 Aug 2014

Almost immediately after we drove the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, we began wondering: what's next? Pumping 707 horsepower into the Challenger seemed so crazy - and so intoxicating - we just assumed that Dodge would try that trick again.
Rumors swirled about a Charger Hellcat. Frankly it makes even more sense than the Challenger version. The Charger is a bigger car, and Dodge has never been shy about dropping monster engines under its hood. Hell (cat), we've seen Charger mules running around town that appeared to be the super sedan.
And finally, it's here. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was revealed today at a preview event near Detroit, and it will be a centerpiece of the Chrysler display this weekend at the Woodward Dream Cruise.
