2001 Dodge 1500 Laramie SLT. I am selling this truck because I no longer have use for it and it takes up driveway space. It runs great and looks great. We bought this vehicle new in 2000 and have enjoyed it ever since in light family duty. It was/is fully loaded and is still in remarkably good condition. There are a few small dings/scratches although far less than you would expect for a model year 2001 truck. There is a small dent at the upper right on the tail gate approximately 3 inches in diameter with no lost paint. If you are not at the right angle, you often do not see it. I've had at least 3 friends/neighbors express interest in buying this truck.

This truck came loaded with: leather, tilt steering, power seats, AM/FM/CD, cruise control, heated seats, full tow package,etc.

Additionally, we added: running boards, Line-X bed liner, Sirius/XM (with remote control), and heavy duty Michelin truck tires (with plenty of tread). It was wired and rigged with air bag lifters to carry a truck camper as well. We never actually used a truck camper (since we bought a motorhome instead), but the airbag lifters have ben great for heavier loads like when we buy mulch and topsoil.

This truck runs exceptionally well and had all of its scheduled service and has had the expected Dodge repairs/replacements, including: water pump, ball joints, and starter. It has a brand new Bosch battery. We put a on a custom dash replacement since the top of the dash board was cracking (as it does on all Dodge Rams). We also put matching seat covers in the front to cover light cracking but left the leather backs uncovered since they are in very good condition.

It passed the Maryland vehicle emissions test.

I took this truck to Carmax where they offered $2000, which is far less than its value. I am setting the starting bid at that $2000 with NO RESERVE. Carmax graded everything on the truck as "GOOD."

I thought I smelled coolant so when I had the battery replaced at Pep Boys, I had them do a pressurized coolant leak test. There were no leaks and they said they were impressed with the mechanical condition of the truck.

The map lights and heated seats do not work. I suspect the seat issue may just be a wiring problem. The map lights never bothered me enough to repair since the overhead light does work.

Again, this is a great truck with low mileage. It has always served us well and will serve you well.

Junkyard 1983 Dodge Rampage has Franco-American roots

Mon, Jun 20 2016

Lee Iacocca and the K-Cars get most of the credit for saving Chrysler after the company's 1979 bailout by the US government, but the success of the Simca-derived Omnirizon platform was a large, if overlooked, component of Chrysler's early-1980s resurgence. The Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon were sold in the United States for the 1978 through 1990 model years, and variants included the 1983-1987 Dodge Charger and the Rampage, this well-worn example of which I spotted in a Denver self-service wrecking yard last week. The early Omnirizons came with a Volkswagen-sourced 1.7-liter engine, but all of the Rampage pickups (and their near-identical Plymouth Scamp siblings) came from the factory with a 2.2-liter K-Car engine making 96 horses. This truck has a 4-speed manual transmission, which would have made it reasonably quick by Malaise Era standards. This one had plenty of body filler and rust, even before the crash that sent it on that final tow-truck ride to this place, so it wouldn't have been worth restoring. Still, we can hope that some of its parts will live on in other L-body trucks.

Custom 2014 Dodge Durango R/T proves SEMA can be subtle

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

The annual SEMA Show in Las Vegas can often be a sensory overload of overwrought madness, with cars that don't even look drivable anymore. But every once in a while, a modestly modified show car graces our presence, like the customized Dodge Durango you see here, which, in addition to giving us our first glimpse at the aftermarket possibilities for the refreshed-for-2014 model, proves that a car doesn't have to be slammed, scooped, donked and Lambo-doored to have presence.
Sure, this Durango has custom hood inserts, dark 22-inch wheels and custom fender flares, but as far as external modifications go, that's it. Inside, Dodge has fitted new door sill guards, an ambient lighting kit, bright pedals, premium floor mats and - of course - Katzkin leather. The automaker has even added wireless internet connectivity as part of the excellent Uconnect infotainment system.
Performance upgrades are minimal on this Durango R/T, which comes packed with Chrysler's 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Larger brakes have been fitted, as have lowering springs (though it certainly doesn't look that much lower) and a custom exhaust.

Chrysler Recalling 870,000 SUVs For Brake Defect

Wed, Apr 2 2014

Chrysler is recalling nearly 870,000 SUVs because corrosion may make the vehicles' brakes harder to use. Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from the 2011 through 2014 model years are involved. Chrysler says crimp joints in the brake boosters can corrode if they're exposed to water. If the water freezes, the boosters won't aid braking as they usually do. Chrysler began investigating after some customers said their brakes felt too firm when pressed down. The company knows of one accident, but no injuries, due to the defect. Dealers will install a shield to protect the boosters for free and replace boosters that aren't working properly. Chrysler has since changed the design to make the boosters more corrosion resistant. Chrysler will notify owners of the recall, which involves 867,795 vehicles.
