1990 Dodge W-150 Power Ram
My late husband bought this truck from the original owner in 1994 and it has served us well for 20 years. We have hauled all sorts of cars, parts, and household items over the years with no trouble. Running gear The 318 V8 is strong and starts and runs every time. It has always had the oil changed with Rotella diesel oil. The oil has been changed in the past year. I will provide you with the remaining case of oil filters and 1 jug of Rotella for future changes. It is just barely starting to smoke on start up. It shifts perfectly and the 4WD shifts in and out easily. It has the optional OD button for disengaging the OD when climbing a steep hill or under load. The ring and pinion were replaced in the early 2000's when the original one locked up. It is the ONLY time the truck has ever failed us. The mileage on the truck is showing 177,000 as listed. The speedometer works perfectly, but the trip odometer stopped working about a year before he died and after he died the odometer stopped working. There is not much more than this on it as I have only driven it around town and in the last two years have only driven it about once a month for exercise purposes. The master cylinder and rear brakes were completely replaced last year. The emergency brake cable was also replaced as it appeared rusty. Body The truck was heavily undercoated when he got it from one of the name brand rustproof companies in business. That and the fact that it has always had a camper shell on it has protected it well all these years. It has started to show some rust starting. The driver's side rocker panel is the most obvious. I have priced one locally at less than $50. The floor was getting a little weak around the driver side seat mount so I had someone replace the floor with galvanized metal all over just to be sure it was all sound. I have not yet sprayed undercoating under it or anything inside the cab to cover it. There are very small spot starting to appear at the corners of the doors, but I believe they could be stopped now. The truck was always taken care of and kept washed and waxed. It was repainted in the late 1990's when it received a new bed, bed liner, camper shell, and outside lighted moonvisor (since stolen) after a hit and run driver hit the rear wheel and bed of the truck in the middle of the night. Over the last year before my husband's death and recently it did not receive it's normal polishing and is starting to show a little wear from that. I used the truck a lot after his death to move and consolidate and got it in some tight spots which I'm embarrassed to say caused some scratches along the side and a couple of dents which have been mostly pulled out. I have tried to show these details in the photos. I removed the camper shell for the first time ever to haul some mulch and items that needed loaded without a shell. The camper shell is one of the extended height shells that you can pretty much stand up in the back. All the fiberglass is good as are the windows. The screens could use replaced. The rear window broke off the hinges around 2000 and we used it with a stick before removing it. We bought a piano hinge to remount it, but never did. Everything comes with it and it will be mounted on the truck when you pick it up. The bedliner started getting caught in the tailgate section and has a warp as you see in the photos. It's only at the end and I've been told it could be heated and returned to its original shape. The front of the bed where it meets the cab has a slight bow after I was hauling some heavy engines and one slid forward when I had to hit the brakes due to an idiot driver. The weight pushed the front of the bed towards the cab. I haven't had it pulled back, but am confident that it can be done. The rear window is a sliding window and the camper shell also has a sliding window that matches up with it. A NOS grille also comes with the truck. It doesn't need a grille, but this was an extra part he had. It has aluminum diamond plate running boards that I believe are anchor brand. Tires and Wheels The tires are almost new. We bought 6 matching tires before he died. You will get the 2 extra tires as well as a spare wheel with the truck. The wheels are the American Racing brand. The hub covers are off and didn't get put on when the tires were put on, but do come with the truck. Interior This truck is pretty simple. It is the standard cab and has a bench seat. The driver's seat is worn, but the rest of the seat is in good condition. The dash is free of any cracks as is the glass. The instruments and controls are simple and all work except the odometer. The interior light, rear cargo light and radio work. The speakers need to be replaced and I have taken the old ones out. I have new ones in a box to go with the truck. It is just an AM/FM radio and gets it's computer testing through codes in the radio. It has an aftermarket console that will go with the truck. Behind the seat is a first aid kit, flare kit, emergency triangle and various road emergency items, and a step to use on the front tire to access the engine compartment. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer. I do not have to sell this truck, but think it's best since I really don't have the need for it any longer. I'd rather sell it now than wait until something happens to it. |

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Dodge Shadow America
Tue, Aug 2 2016A quarter-century ago, most Americans looking for a cheap transportation appliance went for cars like the miserably-stripped-down-but-bulletproof Toyota Tercel or the feature-laden-but-reliability-challenged Hyundai Excel. Chrysler, having just discontinued the elderly "Omnirizon" platform, took the Dodge Shadow and its Plymouth sibling, the Sundance and offered a car that was bigger, more powerful, and better-equipped than just about anything else for the price: the America! These cars depreciated hard and nearly all were crushed a decade ago, so sightings are extremely rare today. Here's one that I found in a Northern California self-service yard. This one still had windshield paperwork indicating that it was an insurance-company auction car (probably totaled in a fender-bender that caused $200 worth of damage) and that it was a runner at the time it got junked. Such is the fate of 24-year-old economy cars in rough shape. The Shadow was a member of the many-branched K-Car family tree, and the Shadow America came with the same 2.2-liter straight-4 engine that powered millions of Caravans, Daytonas, New Yorkers, and Lasers. You got more torque than the competition, plus a driver's-side airbag instead of the maddening automatic seat belts found in other low-priced cars of 1992. Of course, the paint tended to peel off within a few years and the build quality of the Shadow was hit-or-miss, but these cars were way nicer to drive than, say, a Tercel EZ or Subaru Justy.

Junkyard Gem: 1981 Dodge Challenger
Fri, Aug 17 2018The first Dodge Challenger was an E-Body sibling to the 1970-1974 Plymouth Barracuda, and it was a pure Chrysler product with either Slant-6 or V8 power. Then stuff happened and the Challenger name went away for a while, returning in 1978 on a rebadged Mitsubishi Galant Lambda. For 1981, the Challenger got an updated body, and that's what we've got here in a Denver-area self-service wrecking yard. Chrysler was selling lots of Mitsubishis by the early 1980s, including the Colt econobox, the Dodge Ram 50 pickup, and the Plymouth Arrow truck. The Challenger's Plymouth-badged sibling was the Sapporo. This one had a bunch of late-1990s receipts from Los Angeles-area shops, and a check of the VIN on the California smog-check database shows that it last passed the Golden State's emissions test in 1997. Did it drive to Colorado 20 years ago and then sit until a few months ago? There is no easy way to know. Early Mitsubishi-built Challengers could be had with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, but in 1981 the only engine choice was the Astron 2.6 four-banger, rated at 105 horsepower. Members of the Astron 2.6 family powered everything from Dodge Aries-Ks to Mitsubishi Starions in North America, and production continued nearly into our current century for Chinese-market trucks. Not many miles on this car, and no rust. The Index of Effluency-winning team at the recent Colorado 24 Hours of Lemons race grabbed a few bits from this car for their somewhat related 1976 Plymouth Arrow, but otherwise it appears that this rare classic may go to the crusher more or less intact. It's a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive coupe with decent power (for its era) and a 5-speed manual transmission, but there's just not much of a following in Colorado for these cars. I see the occasional Sapporo or Challenger during my junkyard travels, but the numbers have declined in recent years. Soon they will all be gone. This content is hosted by a third party.
