1957 Dodge Power Giant W100 V8 4x4 project truck. No Rust at 54,000 miles!

Rare first year factory 4wd. I think this is truck number 540 of about 600 made that year.

These were the top dog in their day by combining the rugged and proven 4wd of the WWII Power Wagon with the modern style and impressive V8 power of the regular 2wd Dodge Truck line. 1957 was a one-year-only body style and very few V8 4wd trucks were ordered due to the high cost. Fortunately, the U.S. Government bought quite a few for Forest Service, BLM, and Rural Fire. This truck was a Forest Service Rural Fire unit. The boys in the motor-pool knew this one was special so they gave it dual exhaust and a very nice Green Metal Flake.

This truck has the first gen 318. The motor starts and runs strong, but the carb needs a seal kit. It has the 4-speed manual, NP201 transfer case, first year Dana 44 axle, and first year Dodge 8-3/4" rear. The brakes and steering need attention. It can drive on a trailer, but should be gone through before hitting the highway. The seats are a bit rough and need bolted down, but have nice covers. The bed needs new wood. Rear glass missing. Overall this truck has awesome style and solid metal, it just needs those finishing details that I can't do since I am in a wheelchair now. Please see pictures!

EXTRA passenger door included in the sale. I also have a 1957 W200 parts chassis that is for sale (transfer case, drive lines, springs, axles, steering gear). I have many other parts including extra fenders a 56 front clip, a 57 short box, and other early Dodge Truck parts that I need to clean out.

CLEAR MONTANA TITLE is in my name.

This is a 'no-reserve' auction with no 'buy-it-now' price. Highest bidder wins the truck. Shipping is the buyers responsibility. Truck is sold as is where is. No rush to move it, but if you need more than 30 days please let me know and we can work something out. Deposit due within 48 hours, remainder due in 7 days. No payment plans. Truck is located in Stevensville, MT 59870. I hear uship.com has good shipping rates.

Thanks for checking out this cool old truck!

Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.

FCA cuts powertrain warranties to 60k miles

Fri, May 29 2015

FCA US is cutting back the mileage of its powertrain warranty on some 2016 model year vehicles. Rather than the current five years/100,000 miles of coverage, the new amount is five years/60,000 miles for gasoline-fueled models from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram. In March 2015, General Motors made a similar switch to five-years/60,000-miles of coverage for Chevrolet and GMC, and FCA US seems to be citing this as part of the reason for the shift. "Following changes already made by competitors, FCA US is adjusting powertrain warranty coverage for 2016 model year vehicles to be more consistent with industry practices," the automaker said in a portion of its statement. The bumper-to-bumper warranty for these vehicles is unchanged at three years/36,000 miles. According to Automotive News, Fiat's warranty is remaining at four years/50,000 miles. When it changed the mileage limit, GM also halved the number of free service visits for Chevy, GMC, and Buick to two from the previous four. The automaker claimed that the reason for the adjustments to its coverage was that a long warranty was seldom a reason for customers to buy a vehicle.

For 2016MY, Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge and Ram Truck vehicles with gasoline engines will be covered by a 5 year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty. The basic coverage, also known as "bumper to bumper," remains at 3 years/36,000 miles. # # # News Source: FCA US, Automotive News - sub. req.Image Credit: Mark Ralston / AFP / Getty Images Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Car Buying Maintenance Ownership FCA warranty fca us powertrain

Dodge recalling 2k SRT Hellcat Challengers and Chargers for fuel leak

Tue, Mar 3 2015

Bad news for fans of the obscene output of the Dodge Hellcat twins, as FCA has announced a voluntary recall of both 707-horsepower variants of the 2015-model-year Charger sedan and Challenger coupe. According to FCA, a total of 2,211 cars are being recalled after a dealer discovered a "possible fuel leak" during a pre-delivery inspection. Despite getting cleared by suppliers, FCA claims its engineers found "improperly installed" hose seals. Owners of affected vehicles will receive notification and be asked to report in for repairs. Of the vehicles affected, the overwhelming majority, 2,012, were sold in the US market. The remainder were sold in Canada (148), Mexico (30) and just 21 outside of North America. Scroll down for the official release from FCA. Related Video: Statement: Hose Seals March 1, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 2,211 cars globally to replace fuel-delivery components that may leak.

These components had passed the supplier's leak-testing, but FCA US engineers launched an investigation and discovered certain hose seals may have been improperly installed. The Company is unaware of any related injuries, accidents or customer complaints. Affected are model-year 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT coupes and Dodge Charger SRT sedans equipped with 6.2-liter V-8 engines. There are an estimated 2,012 in the U.S.; 148 in Canada; 30 in Mexico and 21 outside the NAFTA region. Affected customers will be notified and advised when they may schedule service.
