This 2003 Dodge Dakota Crew Cab is a little beat up, but that's how a truck is supposed to be, right?  

THE BAD: As you can see in the pictures there are a few dents.  I sanded down the spots and painted primer over them to avoid the rust.  The back tailgate was dented when my wife backed into a pole with the tailgate down, but it still opens and closes fine.  There is a spot just behind the rear driver side door that was rusting that I fixed and puttied over.  As you can see in the pic, I'm not great with the putty, and it was a hard spot to get to, but it worked.  The windshield has a small crack in the top corner of the passenger side. My brother has an inspection license and says the crack should pass PA inspection. For inspection, at the end of December, I would guess it will need 4 tires, and it sounds like it has a small exhaust leak. Also when you go above 60mph the ABS light comes on.  I've never had it checked but I'm told it's probably a bad sensor.  I haven't had any problems with the ABS or anything to do with the brakes.  

THE GOOD:  It may look like a lot is wrong with this truck, but really it's a bunch of little things.  Other than cosmetics this truck is great.  It runs great, no problems with the engine or transmission.  It's got a ton of room in the cab.  I've ridden long distance with three adults in the front, and three kids in car seats in the back.  It's got a lot of power, it might not have 4WD but the power in this thing has gotten me out of a few spots that my 4WD Suzuki XL7 couldn't have.  It also comes with a tonneau cover.

All-wheel-drive Dodge Challenger GT confirmed by EPA website

Thu, Oct 27 2016

The US Environmental Protection Agency accidentally confirmed the upcoming Dodge Challenger GT by posting fuel economy figures for the all-wheel-drive variant of the muscle car. According to FuelEconomy.gov, the Challenger GT, which will come with the 3.6-liter V6 when it's released, is rated to get 18 miles per gallon in the city and 27 miles per gallon on the highway, giving the vehicle a combined rating of 21 miles per gallon. Those figures are slightly lower than the rear-wheel-drive Challenger with the same engine, which gets 19 miles per gallon in the city and 30 miles per gallon on the highway. While previous reports indicated that Dodge is planning to release the all-wheel-drive Challenger GT sometime in 2017, the automaker hasn't confirmed the vehicle. (Mopar's all-wheel-drive concept from last year's SEMA Show is pictured above.) With the EPA putting out the car's official fuel economy figures, the all-wheel-drive muscle car is definitely coming, and should be here before the entire Challenger lineup gets its expected redesign in 2018. And yes, we're still hopeful that the so-called Challenger ADR we saw in spy photos means we'll see all wheel drive and Hellcat power. Because Hellcat everything. Related Video:

Federal grand jury issues subpoenas to U.S. FCA dealers

Wed, Jul 27 2016

Despite an attempt to clarify and backtrack, it seems the investigation into Fiat Chrysler Automobile's false sales reporting is picking up steam. According to Automotive News, FCA dealers and regional offices have received subpoenas ordering them to supply documents and testimony to a grand jury in Detroit. Of course, the dealers are objecting to the request. They claim the subpoenas are too broad and would require them to hand over too much personal information, like personal phone numbers of dealer employees going back years. The group wants to make it clear that FCA has clarified its sales reporting and that the issue is with the manufacturer, not dealers. The dealers say that FCA employee records and testimony should be enough. It's rumored that a dealer group is the one that sparked the investigation in the first place. FCA confirmed on July 18 that it indeed was under investigation by a number of federal agencies. Although they've clarified their position regarding sales reporting, the fraud investigation continues full steam. Related Video:

Dodge Dart Mopar '13 special edition recalled over airbag woes

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Dodge is only building 500 examples of the black-and-blue Mopar '13 Dart, but the majority of them are now being recalled. Part of the Mopar upgrade included replacing the stock seat skins in the Dart with black and blue Katzkin leather, but the seat-mounted side airbags were reinstalled improperly during the upfitting process, which could affect the performance of the front seat side airbags.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, a total of 374 Mopar '13 cars are being recalled due to side airbags that might not deploy in a side-impact collision. There have been no reports of the airbags not going off, but Chrysler will still need to reinstall the bags to ensure proper deployment. The recall notice is posted below, which gives information for Mopar '13 owners to contact Chrysler and NHTSA.
