  Up for bids I have my very nice looking glossy black extended cab long box 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT 4 wheel drive with the Cummins Turbo 12 valve with 197611 miles on it. 

  The truck runs great and is very dependable.
  The tires where replaced new at 181431 miles right after I painted the truck.
  This was originally garnet red with the gray bottom.
  Comes with the double chrome roll bar, chrome nerf bars, chrome grill guard, and visor with lights.
  This has the automatic transmission that was rebuilt wth upgraded torque converter at 126670 miles. The transmission still shifts good.
  Has the 4 inch strait pipe all the way back.
  The last photos show sticker information on the truck
  I bought the truck used from Billion Dodge Chrysler Jeep in Bozeman Montana in 07 with  154900 miles on it and it had this 4 inch strait pipe exhaust.  I had a local Diesel shop add the 95 horsepower torque plate.
  This truck has a lot of horsepower and torque.
  The fuel milage is very good. I will do 24 miles per gallon at its best and goes down the faster you go or the harder you push it.
  The paint is still very nice with some chips and nicks from Winter driving but not bad.
  The interior is fairly nice with a small tear in the headliner from packing snowmobile hoods in the cab and a few stains that should clean up.
   The truck is mostly a no smoking truck and I do not smoke, but I have had people light up there smokes in the truck when I was not in it. It does not smell of smoke but has light evidence that someone has tried to. So its best for me to say very little smoking has been done in the truck. 
   I removed the flip up fifth wheel hitch when I replaced the box but the bracket is still on the frame and I have the hitch yet that goes with the truck.
  The electric door lock was removed from the drivers door to prevent the passenger from locking the truck on me.
   This has been a very dependable truck and the only issue I have had is that once in a while the fuel cut off will not kick in. This only happens when the truck is warm so I learned to just run the starter and not wait for the wait light to go off if it is above 60 degrees out or engine is warm.
  There will be a few more miles on it because I am going to have the AC  fixed on Thursday morning. I t is just a high pressure switch leak so it will be replaced and recharged.
  This truck is good for a lot of miles yet. It has been a great truck I would love to keep but I need the money for health reasons.
  I do not know the history of the truck before I got it but since I had it i had a motorcyle catch the grill guard and I slid off a icy winter road in a snow storm into the snow piled 6 foot high along the highway that caused some damage to the drivers side. I repaired the damage replaced the box because I found a box in nice condition and painted the truck black. This was in the Spring of 2009. The front end had tie rods and some other parts replace and wheels allinged then also.
   When I changed out the box I noticed that on the old box it had brackets for transmission coolers on both sides.
  This must have been done when the transmission was rebuilt. This is a plus for the transmission because these automatics will take almost anything if you keep them from overheating.  I recomend you have them or a large trasmission cooler installed if you want to pull loads or even making it shift in to overdrive under full power.
  I never pulled anything heavier than a car trailer with a car on it.

Mopar '13 Dart will roll into Chicago next week

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

We think this officially counts as a tradition. Every year going back to 2010, Mopar has rolled out a limited edition version of a popular product from the Chrysler Group portfolio. First it was the Mopar '10 Challenger, then the Mopar '11 Charger, then last year's Mopar '12 300, and this year it will be the Mopar '13 Dart, which will make its official world debut next week at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show.
Limited in number to just 500 units, the Mopar '13 Dart is no mere appearance package, though the demeanor of the Dart will be murdered out with a gloss black finish, gloss black 18-inch wheels, a set of Mopar blue stripes and a mean-looking Mopar ground effects kit. Likewise, the interior is touched up with leather seats (a blue one for the driver and black hides for the passengers), gloss black and black chrome trim, blue accent stitching, a sport pedal kit and other Mopar interior accessories.
Turning our attention back to the mechanical bits, the Mopar '13 Dart comes with the car's most powerful engine, a turbocharged 1.4-liter MultiAir four (shared with Fiat 500 Abarth) that's paired with a manual transmission. Those big, black wheels get wrapped in low profile 225/40R18 performance tires, and keeping everything in check is an upgraded brake kit with slotted rotors. The steering has also been calibrated for performance, the suspension lowered seven millimeters, and the exhaust tuned for better engine breathing.

Defiance Dodge Charger, saving Earth from aliens isn't clean work [w/video]

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

You'll be forgiven for not having heard about the TV show Defiance - it actually hasn't aired its first episode yet. The new science fiction show about an alien war against Earth in the near future seems like a perfect fit for the SyFy channel, and, apparently one that Dodge saw as a slick marketing opportunity for its Charger sedan.
Here in Chicago, Dodge has given a large corner of its show stand to the Defiance Charger, a car that won't be skipped by any Mad Max fans in attendance at this year's show. The Charger boasts one hell of a gnarly patina under a confusingly welded cage of tube steel, as well as window bars, a grille guard in front, and big, knobby truck tires. There aren't any obvious guns or turrets on the outside of the vehicle, so we can only hope that the characters driving it go well-armed.
Look for the Charger to make its star turn in Defiance when the series premieres on SyFy on April 15 at 9:00 PM EST. Also, there's said to be a Defiance video game in the works, too, so you may get a chance to steer the burly Dodge for yourself. Find a trailer for the show, below, as well.
