2001 Dodge 1500 Laramie SLT.  I am selling this truck because I no longer have use for it and it takes up driveway space.  It runs great and looks great.  We bought this vehicle new in 2000 and have enjoyed it ever since in light family duty.  It was/is fully loaded and is still in remarkably good condition.  There are a few small dings/scratches although far less than you would expect for a model year 2001 truck.  There is a small dent at the upper right on the tail gate approximately 3 inches in diameter with no lost paint.  If you are not at the right angle, you often do not see it.  I've had at least 3 friends/neighbors express interest in buying this truck.

This truck came loaded with:  leather, tilt steering, power seats, AM/FM/CD, cruise control, heated seats, full tow package,etc.  

Additionally, we added:  running boards, Line-X bed liner, Sirius/XM (with remote control), and heavy duty Michelin truck tires (with plenty of tread).  It was wired and rigged with air bag lifters to carry a truck camper as well.  We never actually used a truck camper (since we bought a motorhome instead), but the airbag lifters have ben great for heavier loads like when we buy mulch and topsoil.

This truck runs exceptionally well and had all of its scheduled service and has had the expected Dodge repairs/replacements, including:  water pump, ball joints, and starter.  It has a brand new Bosch battery.  We put a on a custom dash replacement since the top of the dash board was cracking (as it does on all Dodge Rams).  We also put matching seat covers in the front to cover light cracking but left the leather backs uncovered since they are in very good condition.

It passed the Maryland vehicle emissions test.

I took this truck to Carmax where they offered $2000, which is far less than its value.  I am setting the starting bid at that $2000 with NO RESERVE.  Carmax graded everything on the truck as "GOOD."

I thought I smelled coolant so when I had the battery replaced at Pep Boys, I had them do a pressurized coolant leak test.  There were no leaks and they said they were impressed with the mechanical condition of the truck. 

The map lights and heated seats do not work.  I suspect the seat issue may just be a wiring problem.  The map lights never bothered me enough to repair since the overhead light does work.

Again, this is a great truck with low mileage.  It has always served us well and will serve you well.

FCA plants skipping summer shutdown to keep up with demand

Thu, May 14 2015

Hopefully, some FCA US factory employees don't have big plans for the usual summer shutdown, because the automaker is keeping several plants running this year. Demand is so high that the company wants to keep models rolling off the assembly lines. Four FCA US assembly plants, all the engine factories, and some locations that build transmissions are staying open throughout the summer, according to the Detroit Free Press. Usually, these sites would see a two-week shutdown for the company to retool and perform repairs. This year, factories are staying open for FCA to support its strong sales. The lines that remaining humming through the summer show an inclination toward the automaker's popular SUV's and crossovers. They include the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Michigan that builds the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango; Saltillo Van Assembly in Mexico that constructs the Ram ProMaster; Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio that produces the Cherokee and Wrangler; and Toluca Assembly in Mexico that makes the Dodge Journey and Fiat 500.

FCA goes all-in on Jeep and Ram brands on cheap gas bet

Wed, Jan 27 2016

It's no surprise that as SUV and truck sales remain strong in the wake of unusually cheap gas, Jeep and Ram sales are taking off. What is a surprise is that FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne thinks that cheap gas will be a "permanent condition," and feels strongly enough about it to change up North American manufacturing plans. Jeep appears to be the biggest beneficiary of the product realignment. In addition to increasing the sales estimates for the brand worldwide upwards to 2 million units a year by 2018, the brand will get a flood of investment for new product and powertrains. Consider the Wrangler Pickup to be part of the salvo, as well as the Grand Wagoneer three-row announced in 2014 as part of the original five-year plan. The Wrangler four-door will get at least two new powertrains, a diesel and mild hybrid version, in its next generation. That mild hybrid powertrain may utilize a 48-volt electrical system like the one that's being developed by Delphi and Bosch – which the suppliers think will be worth a 10 to 15 percent fuel economy gain at a minimum. Down the road, in the 2020s, the Wrangler could adopt a full hybrid system. The diesel powertrain is planned for 2019 or 2020. The Ram 1500 is also pegged to receive a mild hybrid system, again potentially based on 48-volt architecture, sometime after 2020. Lastly, Jeep and Ram will take over some of the production capacity of existing plants. The Sterling Heights, MI, plant that builds the Chrysler 200 will now build the Ram 1500; the Belvidere, IL, facility that produces the Dodge Dart will take over Cherokee output; the big Jeep facility in Toledo, OH, will be used for increased Wrangler demand. In 2015, according to FCA's numbers, car and van demand went down by 10 percent, but SUV demand went up 8 percent and truck demand 2 percent. Considering that these are high-margin vehicles, FCA can't ignore the math. FCA also won't build any new factories to supplement production to meet demand, but instead are reshuffling production priorities. Think of it this way: FCA is gambling on cheap gas being a permanent part of our lives, at least into the 2020s. By doubling down on SUVs and trucks, the company stands to win big, unless a spike in gas prices changes the landscape. FCA isn't talking about a Plan B, so they're all in. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango to lose color options temporarily

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

In the market for a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Dodge Durango? Well, if you fancy a more expressive color for your new SUV, you'd better get your order in, or plan on waiting until well into 2015.
The SUVs will be limited to just four monochromatic shades - black, white, silver and gray - until at least February, thanks to an upgrade to the paint shop at the two vehicles' Jefferson North factory. For the Grand Cherokee, that means it's losing more than half its color palette while the Durango is dropping two-thirds of its color catalog.
The loss of colors is inconvenient, but the upgrade will have a slightly bigger effect on the overall supply of SUVs, as Chrysler will need to end its relentless build pace at the factory for a three-week shutdown starting on December 22. The good news for fans of the SUVs is that once the work is completed, we should see a gradual expansion of the color palettes for both the Durango and Grand Cherokee, beyond even what's offered now.
