Up for sale is my father in laws 1986 Dodge D150 Royal SE pickup LWB.  He passed away in 1996 and this truck has been mostly sitting for long periods of time started occasionally.  Less than 1000 miles have been put on this truck during this time. 

THE GOOD> starts easy, runs a little rough at first with a slight miss that goes away in about 5 minutes and then runs very smooth. No taps, knocks or unusual noises. uses little to no oil. All electrical work, lights, blinkers, brake and backup lights, all other assy. ok  unless noted below.  Body is very straight. with no rust thru (area in bottom of bed where water stood has rust thru, see pictures.) trim and chrome in good shape with one piece on tailgate missing.  Carpet will need cleaning, but no tears.  Seat is in good condition, (not original) from base dodge pickup.  Not as plush as original.  Has tilt wheel, pwr window work but are a little sticky from lack of use. Brakes work good, I think they were rebuilt around 1999 by the mechanic down the road but a little unsure of details.  Fresh oil change.  Carb. rebuilt by local mechanic a year and half ago (less than 50 miles ago) does not run hot.

improvements needed> left rear tire looses pressure after time, rest of tires ok.     Headliner cloth missing but backing is still there and looks ok.  Needs shocks (bounces) New shocks included but not installed (in boxes on the seat) windshield cracked and needs replacing. carpet stained but may cleanup ok.  Original wheels were badly rusted and were replaced with Jeep wheels and appear to work  and look ok. Horn will need replacing, it tries to blow but has been sitting too long. windshield wipers need replacement. No jack and spare needs air or repair?  Tailgate tricky to open.  windshield wipers will not work, just noticed today and unsure of problem.  A/C does not work (I have never seen it work) but the compressor is there.

I have tried to describe this truck as best as possible.  This truck has set up for a long time and may have other issues I am not aware of.  I have drove it a little lately and I think with a little work and TLC it could be road ready.

ASK QUESTIONS.  If in the local area, come look and drive (just down the road, expired insp. sticker 2003, and no insurance or plates).  Call me on my cell during the day at 318-308-5035.(poor cell service at home)  This is still a pretty nice long wheel base truck and should have a lot of life left.  If making offer, don't be silly I am not in the need for money and am tired of seeing the old truck sit around and not being used and would rather sell it to someone who needs it. Email me thru e bay if needed.

If you live a short distance, driving truck home may be a option, if long distances, a trailer is recommended.  Truck has been sitting for quite a while.  Payment- 500dollars thru paypal required within 24 hours.  Rest of payment CASH at pickup.

2014 Dodge Dart Blacktop glosses over performance

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

The Dodge Dart is a decent little car. It's honest, basic transportation, and many of us at Autoblog are genuinely fond of the Alfa Romeo-based compact sedan. For 2014, not a whole lot changes in the Dart world, save the addition of this new Blacktop edition that makes its debut here at the Detroit Auto Show.
It's all very simple, this Blacktop package, and doesn't actually alter performance in any way. Instead, buyers are treated to blacked-out exterior bits like 18-inch wheels, the crosshair grille and headlamp bezels. Inside, black/tungsten or black/red cloth seats are available, with red contrast stitching throughout the cabin.
Adding the Blacktop pack to your Dart SXT with the Rallye Appearance Group will set you back a scant $295, and while it's just an appearance package, it all looks pretty nice to us.

EV cost burden pushing automakers to their limits, says Stellantis' CEO Tavares

Wed, Dec 1 2021

DETROIT — Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said external pressure on automakers to quickly shift to electric vehicles potentially threatens jobs and vehicle quality as producers struggle with EVs' higher costs. Governments and investors want car manufacturers to speed up the transition to electric vehicles, but the costs are "beyond the limits" of what the auto industry can sustain, Tavares said in an interview at the Reuters Next conference released Wednesday. "What has been decided is to impose on the automotive industry electrification that brings 50% additional costs against a conventional vehicle," he said. "There is no way we can transfer 50% of additional costs to the final consumer because most parts of the middle class will not be able to pay." Automakers could charge higher prices and sell fewer cars, or accept lower profit margins, Tavares said. Those paths both lead to cutbacks. Union leaders in Europe and North America have warned tens of thousands of jobs could be lost. Automakers need time for testing and ensuring that new technology will work, Tavares said. Pushing to speed that process up "is just going to be counter productive. It will lead to quality problems. It will lead to all sorts of problems," he said. Tavares said Stellantis is aiming to avoid cuts by boosting productivity at a pace far faster than industry norm. "Over the next five years we have to digest 10% productivity a year ... in an industry which is used to delivering 2 to 3% productivity" improvement, he said. "The future will tell us who is going to be able to digest this, and who will fail," Tavares said. "We are putting the industry on the limits." Electric vehicle costs are expected to fall, and analysts project that battery electric vehicles and combustion vehicles could reach cost parity during the second half of this decade. Like other automakers that earn profits from combustion vehicles, Stellantis is under pressure from both establishment automakers such as GM, Ford, VW and Hyundai, as well as start-ups such as Tesla and Rivian. The latter electric vehicle companies are far smaller in terms of vehicle sales and employment. But investors have given Tesla and Rivian higher market valuations than the owner of the highly profitable Jeep and Ram brands. That investor pressure is compounded by government policies aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The European Union, California and other jurisdictions have set goals to end sales of combustion vehicles by 2035.

Coal-rolling Ram dually does tandem beer-shooting burnout with ATV in bed

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Sometimes a video comes around that just makes you shake your head in disbelief. Take for example these guys from Nebraska in their dually diesel flatbed Ram, doing a smoky burnout. Lighting up the tires is nothing new, but these folks take things a step further by having another guy on an ATV in bed that is also smoking the tires. Finally, people are sitting on a couch in the bed taking the whole show in, as beer cans shoot out of the stacks.
There have been several stories recently about the scourge of rolling coal, i.e., diesel trucks modified to lay down a thick, black smoke screen, sometimes for vaguely political reasons. Whatever your opinion is on it, breathing in this much nasty stuff isn't exactly great for your health. Of course, it turns out that burning rubber is pretty awful, too. Both diesel and tire emissions contain cancer-causing Group 1 carcinogens. Combine them with the cigarette smoking here, and these guys are an oncologist's nightmare. Scroll down to take it all in for yourself. Warning, there is a little explicit language.
