" SILVER " my beloved Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 diesel 4x4 Quad cab ( not mega ) with tow package. HIYO SILVER ! Permanent California truck. Stock truck with no aftermarket additions. No real four wheel off road mileage. I have owned too many vehicles to count and this Dodge Ram truck is by far my favorite truck ever. It is just simply the strongest, best running, most stable handling truck I have ever owned. The sweet whistling sound of the turbo winding up @ 55-60 MPH rolling down the interstate is simply music to a man's ears. I bought it " used " from Haddad Dodge in Bakersfield Ca., Sept 11th 2009, with 18K miles on it. I had looked all over and found different and cheaper trucks, but this was " the one ". It had factory maintenance before I bought it as a " certified " vehicle. I personally changed the oil myself @ 3K mile intervals after buying it. It was also changed twice in a lube shop due to schedule only. The owners manual recommends an oil change at 15K mile intervals. It was changed at 3K mile intervals anyway. Initially with "Delo" then switched to Rotella. Air/fuel filters were changed with oil changes. The auto transmission was serviced at factory recommended 30K intervals with oil/filter changes. I planned on this being the last vehicle I would ever own so she was babied and pampered. It has 116,000 + miles on it now. I worked as a paramedic out of town and commuted 200 miles + - for shifts so 90% of miles are highway miles. I have replaced 1 set of tires/ brakes as needed, but other than that no major repairs/issues. I used to normally put 3-4K miles per month on it until 2 years ago when I switched jobs and now fly to work out of state. I do not even put 3K miles a year now on her and subsequently.....I am going to sell her. Everything works on it. Everything. Even the factory sliding " sunroof" works letting sun in and stress out. I don't use 4 wheel drive here in California but I would take it off road once or twice a year/6 months or so and engage the 4 wheel system and drive in 4 low & 4 high. Forward and backward, full lock left to full lock right to move everything around to lube it up. I placed it on a "non op" last March and have only driven it to be " smog checked "at a local shop. It has newer tires Hercules 285/70 R17 on it with 9K miles on them. Has 2 new batteries also in March. Comes with spare/emergency serpentine belt and both radiator hoses. Has tool box in bed.

How fracking is causing Chrysler minivans to sit on Detroit's riverfront

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

It's fascinating the way that one change to a complex system can have all sorts of unintended consequences. For instance, there are hundreds of new Chrysler Town and County and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans built in Windsor, Ontario, sitting in lots on the Detroit waterfront because of the energy boom in the Bakken oil field in the northern US and parts of Canada.
The huge amount of crude oil coming from these sites mostly use freight trains for transport, and that supply boom has resulted in a shortage of railcars to carry other goods. According to The Windsor Star, North American crude oil transport by train has gone from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 434,032 carloads in 2013. Making matters worse, some North American rail infrastructure is still damaged because of this year's harsh winter, and that's slowing things down even further.
Chrysler admits to The Star that it has had some delivery delays due to the freight train shortage. In the meantime, it's using more trucks to deliver its vehicles. Trucking is a far less economical solution, partially because a train can carry so many more units at one time, but alternatives are slim. The Windsor plant alone has a deal for 33 trucks to distribute the minivans around Canada and the Midwestern US.

Chrysler to reveal next minivan at 2016 Detroit Auto Show

Tue, Jan 13 2015

All eyes in the industry are presently fixed on this year's Detroit Auto Show, but over at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, they're already looking towards next year's show. That's when the Italian-American automaker says it'll unveil the next Chrysler minivan. The announcement, made on the FCA Corporate Twitter feed, promises that the next Pentastar minivan will debut in January 2016, which (along with the hashtag NAIAS) suggests the next-generation family hauler will debut at the Detroit show next year. Auburn Hills is expected to replace the current Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan with two all-new models: one keeping the minivan form, and the other shifting into more of a crossover. Just which nameplate gets the new form factor, and which will debut at Cobo next year, we don't know. Odds are good that it'll be the minivan not the CUV, though. Chrysler's minivan has been a winning business for the Detroit automaker, pioneering the segment, outselling the competition and marketing around the world under more brands and nameplates than just about anything else in the industry. The vehicle has been sold as the Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, Chrysler Voyager, Plymouth Voyager, Lancia Voyager, Ram Cargo Van and Volkswagen Routan, to say nothing of long-wheelbase Grand versions of many of the aforementioned nameplates.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets brace of new videos

Wed, 21 May 2014

Yesterday's big announcement focusing on the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat had plenty of stuff going for it - information, pictures and the rabid enthusiasm that always accompanies such an eagerly anticipated reveal. What it was lacking, though, was a proliferation of videos of the new model.
Sure, yesterday's news came with one clip, but today, Dodge has come through with five videos. We've arranged them in what we think will be the most entertaining order, covering the powertrain, before moving on to exterior and interior design, then on to a full CGI dissection of the SRT Hellcat before capping things off with a piece on the non-supercharged Challenger SRT392.
Take a look below for all five videos, then head into Comments and let us know what you think.
