1997 Dodge Ram 1500, Good Truck, Inspected, Needs Minor Work on 2040-cars
Warren, Massachusetts, United States
1997 Dodge Ram 1500 V6 - 5 Speed Manual Trans. Engine is strong, frame is solid, body is decent with some normal rust but not as much as I expect for a 97. Tires are good.
Has check engine light on (it comes on and off here and there,) needs alternator, driver side rubber brake hose, left hood hinge/spring. I think the drive shaft is slightly warped because it has a tiny bit of a "shimmy" when driving, but it is inspected and on the road and was in use until the alternator and brake line went at the same time last weekend. Its been a good "home depot/hauling/utility truck" but I don't want to keep paying the insurance to keep 3 vehicles on the road. I decided I don't have the time or patience to put more energy into the truck, I'm not using it enough to justify the effort. We had loaded it up with scrap metal right before the brake hose went, so it's still full of scrap metal but I'll unload it before it is removed from the property (of you can have the bed full of metal for $100 cash at the time of pickup) Does not start because it needs the alternator. You can either tow it away, or if you want to put in a new alternator and brake hose and drive it away that's up you to. I parked it in the grassy lot across the street from my house. |

Say goodbye to the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200
Wed, Jan 27 2016Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne outlined an update to the company's five-year business plan Wednesday, and among the changes, the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 sedans will soon be phased out. The company's presentation to investors states that the "market shift from cars to trucks and UVs [utility vehicles is] now seen as permanent shift in demand," and FCA wants to respond as quickly as possible. Killing the 200 and Dart will allow FCA to build more Jeep and Ram models at the Sterling Heights, MI, and Belvidere, IL, plants where the sedans were produced. We already knew FCA was planning to shift 200 and Dart production to Mexico, to free up the Sterling Heights facility for Ram 1500 production, and the Belivdere site for Jeep Cherokee output. The Cherokee will move from its current home in Toledo, OH, to allow for increased Wrangler production. It's no shock that FCA wants to shift its focus to crossovers and trucks. In December 2015, for example, combined sales of the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 were 15,310. The Jeep Cherokee, which uses the same platform as the Dart and 200, outsold both models combined, with 24,049 sales. Both the Dart and 200 had troubles from the beginning. Marchionne recently blamed designers for the 200 not receiving a Consumer Reports 'recommended' rating, and the Dart was one of the lowest-scoring cars in a CR reliability study.

Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
