1989 Dodge Dakota 3.9 V6 Automatic Long Bed Pick-Up

Not a bad little truck. Could be restored, a big block dropped in it or a race truck.. or just a get around beater. Your choice.

I am selling this for my brother as-is so I am listing what I know and was told.

The cab and outer bed quarters have seen better days. The pics show the major bad points or rust and dents. The interior of the bed area is solid however from what I cab tell. The Poly tool box is included with the truck. The passengers side back window glass has been silicone but I don't believe it leaks. The rear bumper is in rough shape as you can tell by the pics...I wouldn't suggest towing anything.

The tires are if fair shape except for the drivers rear. There is a leak and wont hold air for very long and the sidewalls are deeply cracked and split.

The interior is pretty well trashed. The seats are ripped, dash cracked, no headliner, the hood release is just a cable but can be pulled with pliers to open, and lots of missing trim pieces. The washer control and headlight arm is a bit loose and wore. Defroster/heat controls are not working, so I assume its a heater control valve or broken cable/hose...but never found out where the heck it is/was.

The engine is a 3.9 V6 engine that runs and gets it down the road. My brother was using this as regular transportation to work and back until purchasing a different car. It does take some time to fire up acting like a bad battery but the battery is only about a year old so I am thinking it could just use a good set of battery cables or ends.

The transmission is an automatic. Still shifts and doesn't slip to latest accounts.

Sold as-is, no warranty or guarantees.

Local pick up only. The truck drives but a can a fix a flat or a spare should be brought along for rear tire leak.

Good luck and happy bidding.

Barracuda's Dodge branding no biggie, but what about engines?

Thu, Aug 27 2015

Rumors about a revival of the Barracuda nameplate have been circulating for years now, though which brand it might fall under has been a bit of a mystery. Initial speculation had the car labeled an SRT product, but that acronym has since returned to its former role as a sub-brand for top-performance Mopars. Thanks to leaks from a recent FCA dealership event, we know the Barracuda is back on the table but will be sold under the Dodge umbrella, a move that has been generating a bit of ire from Pentastar fanatics, as the car was originally part of the defunct Plymouth brand. Given what's known about the new model, however, the badge is the least of my concerns about the new car. Let's start with the re-branding itself. This isn't the first time Chrysler has shuffled models around to different brands. The current-generation Viper spent two years as the flagship model under the SRT banner, only to return to Dodge for 2015 when SRT resumed its former role as a sub-brand. Years ago, the Neon was sold as a Plymouth, a Dodge, and a Chrysler model, depending on where you shopped for one. When Plymouth ceased to exist, the last few years of Prowler production got Chrysler badges instead. Then there's the new Jeep Renegade, a model whose name was born out of a trim level. The Barracuda might not turn out to be a muscle car in the way we currently define them. Further examples of naming liberties taken throughout automotive history could fill a book, but suffice it to say that these days a model's name has very little to do with the vehicle itself or any legacy it might have. The Barracuda name might be a particularly sacred cow with enthusiasts, but to me, a much bigger concern is the fact that the car might not turn out to be a muscle car in the way we currently define them. News from the Fiat Chrysler dealer briefing earlier this week indicates that when the next Charger debuts it will share its platform with the Barracuda, much the way the Charger and Challenger are twinned now. One difference is that the Barracuda is tipped to be offered as a convertible, while the modern Challenger is tintop-only. The Charger and Barracuda will use the rear-drive platform developed for Alfa Romeo's new Giulia, itself designed as a BMW M3 fighter both from a dimensional and dynamic standpoint; the Barracuda is expected to be slightly smaller than the current Challenger.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has 707 glorious horsepower [w/video]

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

Hold onto your butts. "600-plus horsepower" is what we were told to expect from the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 engine. But as we've just learned, those were incredibly conservative numbers. Dodge has officially announced that the range-topping Challenger will hit the asphalt with 707 - seven hundred and seven - horsepower, making it the "most powerful muscle car ever."
Of course, 707 hp is only part of the story, as the Hellcat has also been confirmed to produce 650 pound-feet of torque. All that power will run exclusively to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission that differs from other Challengers. The new gearbox, 8HP90 (rather than the 8HP70) is "upgraded to handle the extra power and torque," says Dan Reid, SRT's manager of product design and motorsports.
We certainly hope you're prepared to spend a ton of money replacing tires.
