Up for auction is my 1986 dodge ramcharger 4x4.Before i get started the mileage on the odometer reads 60852 but considering that its 27 years old i figured that it has at least 100,000 miles on it so i just added a 1 in front of the 60852. OK, from the pictures you can see that this is not your ordinary looking ramcharger. I had cut the back end off and moved the tailgate forward to make it a short bed pickup.I didnt really have a need for a 4 wheel drive station wagon. This has been a really good truck to me, but im 55 and starting to downsize.I already have my 16 foot trailer listed for sale on another auction and without that i really wont have a need for this truck anymore.This is still my daily driver.There is a real lot to cover on this old truck so rather than going into long details i figure that i will just list all the good then all the bad and you can take it from there. The good as of last fall, 2 new front brake calipers,2 new front brake hoses,new front brake pads,all new U-joints including the ones on the front axle,battery is a little over a year old,starter is a little over a year old,Tires are about 2 years old with lots of tread left plus i have an extra set of 4 tires with no wheels that are in good shape that i am including,all 4 gas shocks are 2 years old,rear brakes 2 years old,tranny filter and fluid 1 year ago,transmission is good and strong,transfer case is good,driveshafts are in great shape,front and rear ends are good,new sway bar bushings 2 years ago,both front outer tie rod ends 2 years ago.frame is solid.I also have a couple of new ball joints and a new drag link for the truck that i never installed because there is nothing wrong with the ones on the truck.I just got a great deal on all the parts and figured i would need them eventually,anyways i am including them as well.There are also a set of 2000 lb adjustable overload springs on the rear and 1000 lb adjustable overload springs on the front,yeah when the truck is empty it rides pretty darn stiff but when towing 5 to 6000 lbs behind it those springs make it steady as a rock with now sway at all.Truck is also equiped with a very large tranny cooler. OK, now for the not so good,First of all as far as the body she looks pretty rough but it really isnt that bad,yeah there are some rust holes here and there but the body is very repairable (see pictures)More pictures are available upon request,just be specific on what areas you want pictures of. the engine is getting tired,it still runs fine and has good oil pressure and has never failed to start,even on the coldest winter mornings and towed my 16 foot trailer with no problem even when loaded with another truck on it or a massive load of firewood.But she is starting to burn a little oil and im sure the compression is getting lower than it should be but it doesnt knock or rattle so it would be a good engine for either a core or re-build.I do have another complete 318 used crate engine with only 30,000 miles on it that i am also including with this sale.I was going to put it in this summer but i just purchased a fixer upper house that is going to keep me busy for years to come and i just wont have the time to do the engine change.All the glass is good but the power windows dont work,the driver side window is unhooked from the regulator and i have a wood wedge that i remove to slide the window up and down.Driver side vent window cant be opened because the hinge on it is bad,if you open it ,it may just fall out.Ac doesnt work,cruise doesnt work,driver side inner door handle is broken but it does open from the inside.Door locks dont work,drivers side door panel missing,seats are in good shape but are not original.good spare tire,fabric on headliner is gone,dashboard is in good shape,horn works when it wants to.All lights and wipers work,heater control is stuck in the on position.Truck has a clear Michigan title.Well i guess that about it.Please feel free to ask all the questions you want, i will answer them promptly, usually within 30 minutes.To sum it up, even with the tired engine i still wouldnt hesitate to drive this truck anywhere, of course you cant push her 70 and 80 miles and hour anymore but if you keep it to around 55 to 60 mph you might even squeeze another year out of the engine before you need to change it.This would make a great truck for up north at someones camp or for trail riding or maybe even to restore.Well thanks for looking and have a great day.
Winning bidder to pay a $100.00 Non-Refundable deposit through Paypal within 24 hours of auction end.Balance to be paid in cash at time of pickup.Truck is to be picked up within 7 days of auction end unless previous arrangements have been made prior to bidding.

2013 Dodge Dart gets brace of new special edition models
Thu, 16 May 2013After almost a year on the market it, it is becoming more clear to Dodge how customers like to option out their Darts, so the automaker has combined popular features into three special edition packages and sweetened the prices. Start with a standard 2013 Dart and add either the SXT or Limited "Special Editions" or Rallye Appearance Group, and you'll save yourself a lot of box checking.
The $595 Dart SXT Special Edition takes the trim just above the base model and adds a new grille, dark-tinted headlights and projector fog lights, LED racetrack taillights, cruise control and audio controls on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Limited Special Edition starts with the top-end model and adds a power sunroof, heated front seats and steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and Nappa leather seats among other features, for $1,810.
The Rallye Appearance Group (pictured) is a package for the SXT, and it blacks out the front fascia, throws on 17-inch wheels and some badging for $395. The new special editions are reaching dealers now and could help the Dart's sales to further improve after a slow start. You can find out more about them in the press release below.
Cruise Woodward Avenue with Autoblog's Dodge Challenger Hellcat
Thu, Aug 20 2015While Autoblog was consumed by coverage of the increasingly important Monterey Car Week last weekend, there was another big even going on. The Woodward Dream Cruise is significantly lighter in terms of news, but there's no denying that it's a far bigger, and far more egalitarian than what the wine-and-cheese crowd experience on the links at Pebble Beach. The Dream Cruise crams tens of thousands of cars and over a million spectators along a four-lane ribbon of asphalt between Ferndale and Pontiac, MI. What's remarkable aren't these numbers, though, so much as the distances they travel. Owners and admirers come from far and wide, across the United States and in some cases across the globe, to take in the spectacle. This year, local radio and television coverage featured fans that traveled from Japan, Australia, and Europe, just to take in the cruise. Of course, we realize that not everyone can make the pilgrimage to Woodward Avenue. With that fact in mind, we decided to bring a bit of the Dream Cruise to Autoblog with a time-lapse video of the cruise route. You can experience the good (a Lamborghini Gallardo, Chevrolet Chevelle, and Oldsmobile Cutlass 442), the bad (the traffic jams), and the ugly (no, your 2003 Ford Focus does not qualify as a classic, get the hell out of the cruiser lanes). So join us, as we turn off 8 Mile Road behind the wheel of our 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and run north, through Ferndale, Pleasant Ridge, Royal Oak, Huntington Woods, Berkley, Bloomfield Township, and Bloomfield Hills, before ending up on Wide Track Drive in Pontiac.
FCA recalling 63k Jeeps, Vipers and Ram ProMaster City vans
Thu, Apr 23 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has announced a pair of recalls cover nearly 63,000 vehicles. The bigger of the two actions covers manual-transmission-equipped vehicles from 2006, including the Jeep Liberty and Wrangler, as well as the Dodge Viper. FCA engineers uncovered that the clutch ignition interlock switches use a kind of wire that was part of a previous recall campaign. Because of this, the company said that affected vehicles may not start, although in rare cases, "if recommended starting procedures are not followed," the affected vehicles may lurch forward after turning the key. Those recommended starting procedures "include activating the parking brake, placing the shift lever in neutral and pressing the clutch pedal before turning the vehicle's ignition key." Recall number two affects the company's 2015 Ram ProMaster City cargo and passenger vans. Owners will need to report to dealers to have a piece of tape removed from the side-curtain airbags. The tape is added during assembly and in some cases, may not have been removed. That could prevent the airbags from deploying in the event of a crash. Just under 59,000 vehicles are included in the first recall, including 43,874 in the United States, 11,309 outside of North America, 2,944 in Canada and 706 in Mexico. The ProMaster City recall includes just over 3,900 vehicles. FCA claims it's unaware of any injuries, fatalities or accidents related to either recall and will perform repairs free of charge. Scroll down for the official press release on both campaigns. Related Video: Statement: Clutch Ignition Interlock Switch April 23, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is launching a voluntary recall of an estimated 43,874 older-model U.S.-market cars and SUVs equipped with manual transmissions. The Company will replace their clutch ignition interlock switches at no charge to customers. The action follows an investigation by FCA US engineers that discovered these vehicles are equipped with switches that contain a certain type of wire implicated in a previous campaign. The wire, which was temporarily substituted by a supplier for the specified material, may break. As a result, the vehicles may not start, and in rare cases – if recommended starting procedures are not followed – a vehicle may exhibit unintended movement when its ignition key is turned. FCA US is unaware of aware of any related injuries or accidents involving this population of vehicles.
