2002 Dodge Ram 1500 St Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 4.7l on 2040-cars
Taylor, Michigan, United States
Up for auction is my 2002 Dodge Ram 1500. I am the second owner of the vehicle. I have owned it since December of 2013. I got the truck from my uncle who purchased it new. He put a lot of highway miles on the truck but he always maintained it very well. Which goes to show considering the condition the truck is in for the mileage. I am an ASE certified technician and have been servicing the truck for him throughout the years. I am selling the truck because I have way to many vehicles and I only drive the truck 2-3 times a month. I thought I would be using it more but i'm not. Exterior: Truck has some rust spots. I took photos of the area's so you can see them. It is actually not to bad compared to most dodge trucks of these years. There are some some scuffs and scratches on the body of the truck but no major dents or scratches. I don't believe the vehicle has ever been in an accident. The chrome on the bumpers is in pretty good condition but has some peeling on the bottom of the rear bumper that is not visible. The passenger side mirror has been replaced with a cut piece of glass. The topper and bedliner are in good condition. Truck has a hidden hitch and has a working 7 pin trailer connector. Interior: The interior is in good condition. Non smoker. No tears in the seats. The middle seat/arm rest functions as normal. All interior accessories work. All gauges work. No warning lights are on. The truck has a nice area behind the seats that can store a lot of cargo. The tire changing tools and jack are there. Comes with Dodge factory floor mats. The dash has 2 cracks in it. (see photos). Powertrain/Drivetrain: The engine and transmission are in great condition. Engine is strong and transmission shifts smooth. There is a very minor leak at the transmission output shaft seal. The engine seals are in good condition and there are no coolant leaks. The rear pinion seal also has a minor leak. Air conditioning and heat work excellant! Steering and Suspension: The tires are in excellant condition and are all matching set. Comes with full size spare. The front suspension is in pretty good shape. The front lower ball joints have a small amount of play as well as the passenger front wheel hub. The shocks have been on the vehicle for quite some time now and may want to replace in the future, but the truck rides good. As you can see the truck is in pretty good condition. It would make an excellant work vehicle or farm vehicle. The 8ft bed with the extra tall topper is great for hauling cargo. Honestly I want keep the truck but does not make sense for the amount of money I spend on insurance and registration versus how much I use the truck. Buyer is responsible for shipping and picking up of vehicle. I will take a $500 deposit within 24 hours of the sale with cash due at pick up or will take full payment thru paypal.

Stellantis is official: FCA and PSA merger finally sealed
Sat, Jan 16 2021MILAN — Fiat Chrysler and PSA sealed their long-awaited merger on Saturday to create Stellantis, the world's fourth-largest auto group with deep enough pockets to fund the shift to electric driving and take on bigger rivals Toyota and Volkswagen. It took over a year for the Italian-American and French automakers to finalize the $52 billion deal, during which the global economy was upended by the COVID-19 pandemic. They first announced plans to merge in October 2019, to create a group with annual sales of around 8.1 million vehicles. "The merger between Peugeot S.A. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. that will lead the path to the creation of Stellantis N.V. became effective today," the two automakers said in a statement. Shares in Stellantis, which will be headed by current PSA Chief Executive Carlos Tavares, will start trading in Milan and Paris on Monday, and in New York on Tuesday. Now analysts and investors are turning their focus to how Tavares plans to address the huge challenges facing the group – from excess production capacity to a woeful performance in China. Tavares will hold his first press conference as Stellantis CEO on Tuesday, after ringing NYSE's bell with Chairman John Elkann. FCA and PSA have said Stellantis can cut annual costs by over 5 billion euros ($6.1 billion) without plant closures, and investors will be keen for more details on how it will do this. Marco Santino, a partner at consultants Oliver Wyman, said he expected Tavares to disclose the outlines of his action plan soon, but without divulging too many details at first. "He has proven to be the kind of person who prefers action to words, so I don't think he will make loud statements or try to over-sell targets," he said. Like all global automakers, Stellantis needs to invest billions in the years ahead to transform its vehicle range for the electric era. But other pressing tasks loom, including reviving the group's lagging fortunes in China, rationalizing its huge global empire and addressing massive overcapacity. "It will be a step by step process, also to allow the market to better appreciate every single move. I don't think we will have all the details before one year," Santino said.
Watch dual-engined Dodge SRT4 do a FWD burnout, a RWD burnout, then AWD launch
Wed, Dec 3 2014There's something fantastically insane about racers who go out on their own and build something unique. Just take this crazy video from last year of a twin-engine Dodge SRT4 at a drag strip that can burn the rubber at either end – or both ends – at a moment's notice. With tires sticking out way past the fenders, a massive cooling system at the front and no back window to speak of, this Dodge is clearly meant solely for speed. Though it's real party trick is being able to spin the front or rear wheels independently. The setup makes for three quite showy burnouts. When it came time to actually get down the track, things got somewhat awkward. Like other twin-engine creations we've seen, the separate powertrains make for some odd sounds and a weird look launching down the strip. Still, there's no doubt that the engineering behind this Frankenstein is very impressive. Scroll down to see this monster in action and another of it in a very mismatched race last year.

Brand new cars are being sold with defective Takata airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016If you just bought a 2016 Audi TT, 2017 Audi R8, 2016–17 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, or 2016 Volkswagen CC, we have some unsettling news for you. A report provided to a US Senate committee that oversees the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and reported on by Automotive News claims these vehicles were sold with defective Takata airbags. And it gets worse. Toyota and FCA are called out in the report for continuing to build vehicles that will need to be recalled down the line for the same issue. That's not all. The report also states that of the airbags that have been replaced already in the Takata recall campaign, 2.1 million will need to eventually be replaced again. They don't have the drying agent that prevents the degradation of the ammonium nitrate, which can lead to explosions that can destroy the airbag housing and propel metal fragments at occupants. So these airbags are out there already. We're not done yet. There's also a stockpile of about 580,000 airbags waiting to be installed in cars coming in to have their defective airbags replaced. These 580k airbags also don't have the drying agent. They'll need to be replaced down the road, too. A new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time. If all this has you spinning around in a frustrated, agitated mess, there's a silver lining that is better than it sounds. So take a breath, run your fingers through your hair, and read on. Our best evidence right now demonstrates that defective Takata airbags – those without the drying agent that prevents humidity from degrading the ammonium nitrate propellant – aren't dangerous yet. It takes a long period of time combined with high humidity for them to reach the point where they can rupture their housing and cause serious injury. It's a matter of years, not days. So a new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time – and six years seems to be about as early as the degradation happens in the worst possible scenario. All this is small comfort for the millions of people who just realized their brand-new car has a time bomb installed in the wheel or dashboard, or the owners who waited patiently to have their airbags replaced only to discover that the new airbag is probably defective in the same way (although newer and safer!) as the old one.
