Read entire description before bidding:
I am not the original owner.  I bought this truck to do yard work with and haul mulch around.  It has been very reliable over the last two years. I have taken it on many long distance drives over the last two years as well - over 800 miles round trip.  Recently the truck started to buck a bit on the highway and seemed to misfire.  If I turn of the overdrive the problem clears and the truck seems to run and drive fine.  It idles perfectly smooth and the 4x4 works perfectly.  The truck does not burn oil.  I am not going to put money into this above and beyond the recent work done to fix the problem (read below for work done).

As you can see from the pictures, the passenger side has some body damage but it is not bad for what it is.  The driver's side is fine with very few body dings.  At some point before I bought it the truck was repainted so the paint shines nicely when detailed as do the wheels and rims.  The wheels are bigger than standard and the truck has a nice look to it.  The tires are in great shape and should last a long time.  I bought them for this truck new.

I removed the headliner and carpet from the cab to eliminate the oders from the previous owner and I painted the floor with a heavy bed liner and installed heavy rubber floor mats.  I also put a steering wheel cover and seat covers on as you can see from the picture.  All electronics including the stereo work as they should.  the air blows so cold I cant leave it on high.  Same with the heat.
one other problem that I know of is the master brake cylinder gives out from time to time and the peddle needs to be pumped a bit.  easy fix. 

I do want to also point out that the steering wheel is not perfectly centered when driving in a straight line.  The truck does not really pull to one side so probably needs an alignment.  Never bothered with this as it didn't bother me. 
The dashboard above the steering wheel is cracked but.  This is a work truck... don't expect it to be perfect in any way.

What I did to the truck over the last 3 months (while trying to fix it up):
-Replaced the radiator
-new wires, plugs and distributor cap + rotor
-new coil
-new battery end caps
-new 02 sensor
-new crank shaft position sensor
-new water pump and pulley tensioner
-new thermostat
-new brake pads and cylinders in the rear on both sides
-new front windshield (old one was cracked)

Again, this truck looks great when cleaned up, runs well and idles fine.  The engine is strong.  The truck develops a bucking above 50mph which I think may be related to the transmission.  It clears if you hit the over drive button.
At this point I am not spending money to fix it up.
If you know these trucks and have the ability to work on it, it would be a great one to fix up.  It is strong, clean and pretty much rust free.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

In the first picture, the fender and hood seem not to line up, I had the hood unlatched. Sorry about that. They line up perfectly when the hood is latched.

Special Dodge Challengers get Hellcat bits to celebrate Mopar's 80th birthday

Fri, Feb 10 2017

This year, Mopar is celebrating its 80th anniversary, and it's doing so in two-tone style with this very limited edition Dodge Challenger. Only 160 of these Challengers will be built, with 80 in each paint scheme. Buyers can choose between either Billet Silver or the slightly painful sounding Contusion Blue, each of which gets a hand-painted Pitch Black top half. These Challengers are based on the existing 392 Shaker package, but come with an array of upgrades and tweaks. In addition to the custom two-tone paint, the shaker scoop and rear spoiler are painted in the same color, rather than the usual matte black. The cars come with 20-inch wheels and hand-painted 392 logos on the fenders. The 392 cu. in., or 6.4-liter if you prefer, engine produces the same 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque as its normal counterpart. This Mopar Challenger will have more access to cold air, though, since it has both the shaker scoop and the headlamp intake from the Challenger Hellcat. At the back, there's also exhaust tips borrowed from the most hellish of Challengers. Or at least the most hellish, so far. View 14 Photos Inside, the changes are more minor. Performance seats are added with embroidered Mopar logos in the backrests. The seats and other trim also feature a silver-colored Tungsten stitching. Naturally, a serial number badge makes an appearance inside, too. Owners will also receive a little box of goodies including a booklet, signed rendering, keychain, additional badge, and a certificate showing the date of manufacture. The overall package is rather attractive, but it isn't cheap. To own one of the few Mopar Challengers, you'll have to fork over $56,885. That's a significant premium over the 392 Scat Pack Shaker, which starts at just $44,890 and makes just as much power. You'll also be able to get a 392 Scat Pack Shaker right away, while the Mopar special edition won't be out until spring. Plus, you may not get it until summer because the hand-painting process takes some time. Of course, for some people, the cost and the wait are worth the exclusivity.

2023 J.D. Power APEAL Study shows new-car customer satisfaction scores slip

Thu, Jul 20 2023

J.D. Power survey results have been slightly up but mostly down for automakers this year, literally. In February, the 2023 Vehicle Dependability Study showed an overall decline compared the 2022 a month before the Customer Service Index Study did the same. The trend reversed in June with a better overall score on the 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Consideration Study than in 2022, then declined again the same month on with a lower overall score on the 2023 Initial Quality Study. The declines continue with the 2023 J.D. Power U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, overall satisfaction among the 84,555 respondents down two points overall compared to 2022, to 845 out of 1,000 points. Because last year's score dropped compared to 2021, this year marks the first consecutive decline in the study's 28-year history. The study tries to "[measure] owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement with new vehicle" after 90 days of ownership by asking new owners to rate 37 attributes in 10 areas around the vehicle, such as the feeling they get when they hit the accelerator. Satisfaction with nine of the attributes is down this year versus last, fuel economy the only segment to show better results with 15 points more satisfaction. Styling and infotainment are big drags on satisfaction. Responses to new car exterior looks tallied 888 points, down from 894 last year, the largest drop in this year's study. On the digital side, less than half of those surveyed this year said they prefer using a manufacturer's built-in infotainment. From 70% of respondents in 2020 preferring to use a manufacturer's in-house software to play audio instead of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, that's 56% in 2023. Going all-in on Google appears to have the best effect. J.D. Power said that vehicles with both Google's Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS) and Google Automotive Services (GAS) "score higher in the infotainment category than those with no AAOS whatsoever. AAOS without GAS receives the lowest scores for infotainment of the three categories."  Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power, said, "Despite the technology and design innovations that manufacturers put into new vehicles, owners are lukewarm about them. While innovations like charging pads, vehicle apps and advanced audio features should enhance an owner’s experience, this is not the case when problems are experienced.
