1990 Dodge Ram W250 Cummins Diesel 4x4 - 5 Speed Manual

(VIN1B7KM2682LS677937).

This vehicle is an early 1990 NON-INTERCOOLED 12-valve Cummins and sits basically stock, as it came from factory with the big 9mm injecotrs . This version is the simplest and most reliable – no overdrive issues, no throttle position sensor and no unreliable computers for charging etc. Still has an external voltage regulator and all it needs is fuel, air and 12 volts and it runs. The design and gear ratios of the early non I/C trucks permit great fuel economy (17-20 mpg) and good highway gears, so you can drive this truck on the interstate.

End of Manufacturer Sourced Specs.

This 12-Valve Cummins is considered one of the best cummins and also considered bulletproof by many; first generation non intercooler engine. It carries great oil pressure cold with full EGR Valve Gauges etc. Transfer case and all 4x4 work very well. As stated, the Killer Dowel Pin (KDP) Tab has already been done! Transmission has fresh oil and shifts smooth and correctly. Steering feels like new… it is very tight as is entire front end. New ball joints and front suspension parts. (play is what I would very minimal for one of these trucks (ALMOST NONE)). It has good wheel alignment and it does not pull left or right; drives straight down the road. It is practically smoke free, even at idle when cold.

Oil (Rotella Diesel) was changed about 800 miles ago and it is still on the “full” mark and clean. Rear main and front seals are fine. There are no leaks in the transmission, transfer case or differentials. The springs on this truck are good and have a good arch (see truck side photos). Sits level side to side. Shocks are older but still good. Front brakes have good pad left. Good solid brakes. It’s been very reliable. It has a new 3” exhaust that sounds great. The undercarriage of the truck is clean in a way only a very salt-free truck. She spent most of her life on a southern Virginia farm.

Body

As stated, practically zero undercarriage rust and just a little by top back fenders. It looks great in pictures and very good “in person”. Shes has some front hood paint spray as she was repainted a few years back and the paint job was quite good, but maybe 7.5/10 at best, in my opinion. No body work was done. The truck has solid sheet metal. Fenderwells and rocker panels are a main concern on these early cummins 12-valve trucks. This trucks are amazingly clean and BASICALLY NO RUST AT ALL.

Other than front areas as discussed, there is no peeling. When you see it in person you will see imperfection in the paint and I am reiterating this because it does look good in the pictures. You have to get within 3-5 feet of it to see it. I guess it depends how picky you are. I have gotten pickier as I get older and I can barely stand anything that's not new but you can't get a new one.

But.....the paint is still above average. Anyone who knows about these trucks knows they had a problem with roof rust, especially around the rain gutter. This has a small area! AGAIN, IT IS VERY SOLID BUT NOT PERFECT. I also pulled the tail lights out to check inside the bed for rust under the fender flares – again there is none. No hitch or 5^th wheel was in it. The bed of the truck is scratched up a bit, from years to and from the hardware store, etc, but rust free. The door insulation on the cab is in decent shape…the hard rubber strips that sit at the base of the side windows are all theres; they are somewhat a brittle and cracking a bit but still functional / good. The vent windows operate very tight and have ZERO wind whistle. The windshield is in very good condition. All of the rest of the glass is OEM “Safeguard” and in good condition. The door hinges are in good condition and the doors open and close ok.

Interior

It is in quite good stock condition. Headliner is excellent. Door panels excellent. No cracks or sun damage to dash. The seat shows quality and care of interior as it had only very minor wear and small quarter-size tear on the cording on the driver’s side. It is a non-smoker truck and has no cigarette burns or odor. The driver sun visor still holds original transfer case schematics. The visors are in like-new shape and stay right up against the headliner. There is no sun fade because it was garaged most of it whole life.

Electrical/HVAC

Very original electrical system. Fuse box still sits in factory clip in the lower dash. All exterior lights high/low beams work. Dome light works, through the switch and when doors are opened. Manual windows and locks work. Horn works like new. Turn signals and flashers work. Horn works. (Recent Virginia State Safety Inspection Passed). Heater works. Blower works on all speeds. Gas gauge is accurate. Wipers and washer work.

All in all it is a good solid truck. The reserve is reasonable. I have a free and clear title in my name. Feel free to check carfax and autocheck. Money needed for downpayment on new house purchase otherwise never sell this early cummins! If you would like to setup an appointment to see it in person you can. Wire transfer or cashier’s check, but truck and title stay with me until it clears.

2003-04 Dodge Viper recalled for sudden airbag deployment

Fri, 15 Feb 2013

As if driving the old Dodge Viper (not the fancy new SRT model) isn't intimidating enough, imagine trying to wrangle that V10 beast and then suddenly having the airbags deploy. Yikes. That's apparently what could happen to some 3,660 Viper models from the 2003 and 2004 model years, and as such, Chrysler has issued a recall.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, part of the car's airbag control module may fail, causing the bags or seatbelt pre-tensioners to deploy without warning while the vehicle is in operation. That's a dangerous scenario in any car, let alone one offering insane horsepower a near-total paucity of safety nannies should things get squirrely.
Owners will be notified this month about the recall, though a remedy is not expected to be available until later this year. Scroll down for the full NHTSA statement.

FCA and Peugeot reportedly agree on merger

Wed, Oct 30 2019

Citing a Wall Street Journal report, the Detroit Free Press says "Fiat Chrysler and PSA Groupe have agreed to merge." The Journal reported on talks between the two car companies only yesterday. It's said that Peugeot's board met yesterday to approve the deal, FCA's board met today, and an announcement could come as soon as tomorrow, Thursday. Both automakers have released statements, but neither company has released any information beyond admitting to ongoing talks. If the merger happens, the combined entity would become the world's fourth-largest carmaker with a $50 billion valuation, slotting in behind Toyota, the Volkswagen Group, and the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi alliance. Among the merger options possible, "an all-stock merger of equals" is the one analysts and Moody's seem to give the best grade. The reported merger would come about four months after FCA walked away from merger talks with Renault. FCA said the French government scuppered those talks over the role of Nissan in a reformed entity, but there were also brewing issues with French unions, and ongoing turmoil among Renault and Nissan leadership thanks to continuing fallout from ex-CEO Carlos Ghosn's arrest last year. FCA makes most of its revenue in the U.S. and rules Italy, while Peugeot is the second-best-selling automaker in Europe with its own brand in France and Opel in Germany. The two companies already have a partnership in Europe making vans, one that FCA CEO Mike Manley has spoken highly of. Among the list of obvious benefits in a potential merger, FCA would get access to Peugeot's small, modern platforms, $10.2 billion in cash, and electrified and hybrid architecture developments, the latter especially important to FCA as those are fields where it lags. Peugeot would get much easier access to the U.S. market, and the money-printing brands Jeep and Ram. A merged carmaker would have combined sales of nearly 9 million a year, based on 2018 results. By comparison, both Volkswagen and Toyota sell over 10 million cars a year, while the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance almost 11 million. Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares has proved he knows how to do turnarounds and mergers. After leaving a position as Carlos Ghosn's right-hand man in 2012, Tavares took over Peugeot in 2014, navigated a bailout from the French government and China's Dongfeng Motors in 2015, and turned PSA into a regional powerhouse.

Work at a Chrysler dealership, get free college education

Mon, May 4 2015

The cost of a college education in the US can put a student tens (hundreds, in some cases) of thousands of dollars into debt. FCA US wants to give its dealership employees a leg up, though, and the automaker is now offering a completely free education to them through a partnership with Strayer University. The workers can take any of the college's classes online or on campus through program called Degrees@Work. Currently, the offer is only available to employees Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat dealers in the automaker's Southeast region, which includes Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. However, a national expansion will happen before the end of the year, Strayer spokesperson Cristina Henley tells Autoblog. The program will cover all of the students' expenses, including their books, according to Henley. FCA US sees this partnership as a way to improve the talent of its workforce, retain employees longer and possibly attract people wanting to take advantage of this free education. "Many of our dealers have expressed concern over the availability of talent to fill open positions due to business growth and turnover in their stores, especially in metro markets," Al Gardner, the company's Head of Dealer Network Development, said in the Degrees@Work announcement. Strayer has about 40 programs available, including in business administration, accounting, marketing, and more, and the university offers associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees. It will also give FCA US employees credit for their work experience to get them a diploma even more quickly. FCA US Dealers to Offer Employees No-Cost, No-Debt College Education FCA US teams with Strayer University to develop first-of-its-kind dealer program Degrees@Work program open to all employees of participating dealerships Employees can earn no-cost, no-debt degree through Strayer University All Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge, Ram and FIAT dealerships may participate First phase of program rollout begins with dealers in the FCA US Southeast Business Center National rollout expected later this year May 4, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Employees of Chrysler, JeepÂ®, Dodge, Ram and FIAT dealerships will have the unique opportunity to earn a no-cost, no-debt college degree through Strayer University's Degrees@Work program, developed in collaboration with FCA US LLC. FCA US is the only company in the automotive industry to offer the program.
