1946 Dodge Truck 1/2 Ton / Restore-able Condition 68 Yrs Old on 2040-cars
Hartford City, Indiana, United States
|
Restore-able Condition! Truck is about 98% complete of original parts. I regret selling this truck after owning it since 1970. I have recently retired and don't have the finances nor desire to put it back on the road. If this truck was restored properly, it would be worth about $15,000.00.
It has the original flat head 6, with new spark plugs. Most trucks that you see for sale on Ebay are missing or have replacement parts. This truck is about 98% original. The brass topped honey combed radiator is original, as well as the carburetor, oil bath breather, trumpet horn (still works), oil filter canister. The body is in pretty good condition considering the truck is almost 70 years old! It has dents, dings and a few rust holes in it. Please refer to pictures, as I have tried to show the flaws and things that will have to be dealt with. The windshield was replaced in the 80's and the glass is in great condition. Both side doors however are cracked and need replaced. The cab is in pretty good shape with the exception to an area above the windshield, that is rusted. (see pictures). Wooden 2 piece floorboard has been replaced. Original heater used to work (paper duct tubes are rotted away). Bench seat needs repair and is missing a lot of horse hair on the drivers area. Springs are still good. Truck bed has a 1/8 " steel plate spot welded in. To my surprise, looking from under the truck, the original wooden bed still seems to be good! The tailgate is bolted in place. The drive train is all original, Clutch, Pressure Plate, Throw-out Bearing, Propeller Drive Shaft (needs leather boots), 3 Speed Transmission all good. The left headlight bowl has been replaced with a slightly smaller one (I have the matching smaller bowl that will go with the truck). I also have an original Dodge Shop Repair Manual that I will go with the truck. (This manual covers practically everything, even adjusting the pitch of the sound of the horn). This truck presently DOES NOT RUN. It has compression, spark to the points, new spark plugs, but probably needs new plug wires? If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Good Luck, Happy Bidding |

Chrysler recalling 2009-2010 Ram 1500, Dodge Dakota pickups over axle pinion nut
Mon, 08 Oct 2012Chrysler is issuing a recall for the 2009 and 2010 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota pickup trucks due to improper installation of the rear axle pinion nut. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a total of 44,300 trucks are affected by the recall, and there have been 12 confirmed incidents including one crash.
The issue on both trucks is that the pinion nut is loosening on some trucks due to a lack of thread adhesive, and it is causing the rear axle to lock up resulting in loss of vehicle control. NHTSA's recall notice says that eight incidents occurred at speeds over 35 miles per hour and most also exhibited driveshaft failures as well since the loss of the pinion nut would cause the gear to separate from the driveshaft. In one complaint, the driveshaft separated from the rear axle and punctured the gas tank.
Chrysler will begin sending out recall notices to affected owners in November, but scroll down to see the official NHTSA notice.
How to update and secure a vulnerable Chrysler Uconnect system
Sat, Jul 25 2015If you own one of the 1.4 million vehicles affected by the recent Chrysler software recall, you may want to watch this video. In it, we explain how to get the latest infotainment software loaded onto the 8.4-inch Uconnect system. The recall was a response to the findings of researchers who were able to hack into and remotely control a 2014 Jeep Cherokee through its cellular connection. Although Fiat Chrysler has worked with Sprint to plug most of the holes on the carrier side, there are still some vulnerabilities that only this latest software version can patch. Owners have three options to get the update: download it now, wait for a USB stick in the mail, or take the vehicle to an FCA dealer. Chrysler will be sending USB sticks loaded with the software update to customers. Anyone with an internet connection and a USB stick of their own with at least 4 GB capacity can speed things up by downloading the patch from the Uconnect website. We cover that process from start to finish in the video, with the final portion still applicable to those using the FCA-supplied USB stick. If after watching this you still don't want to tackle the patch yourself, you can take your vehicle to the dealer to have it done. Also note that this process is the same for all Uconnect updates, not just the one patching the exploits. Our demonstrator vehicle is a 2015 Ram 1500 pickup. The procedure should be very similar on other products with the 8.4-inch Uconnect system, with only the location of the USB port varying. Once you have the USB stick with the software on it – either after having downloaded it yourself or receiving it in the mail from Chrysler – the installation process is relatively simple. It takes about 15 minutes to perform the update; we edited out the wait in the video. To check whether or not your car's 8.4-inch Uconnect system is running the latest software, go to System Information on the touch screen's Settings page and look at Software Version. The update related to the recall is version 15.17.5. Related Video: Recalls Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Safety Technology Infotainment Videos Original Video hacking
2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has 707 glorious horsepower [w/video]
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Hold 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.
