Up for Auction is a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab pickup truck. It has 65,595 miles as of this writing, will possibly have 100 more by the end of the auction.   The truck is in Very Good Condition. It is spotless, newly waxed and detailed including engine bay, wheels & wheel wells, bed liner and interior. Everything works perfectly; there are no stray noises or vibrations. No stories at all. NADA values are $12,275 “Clean Trade-in” and $15,150 “Clean Retail”. I canvassed AutoTrader.com and Cars.com for similar trucks within 500 miles and found about 30 examples, with 57-146,000 miles, most missing some options, with asking prices in the range of about $13,000 to $17,000+.   The truck is very well-equipped, with the SLT package (see window sticker in pictures), plus these notable Options: Towing Package, Bed Liner, Rear Sliding Window, and SIRRIUS satellite radio. Please see window sticker for complete list. There are also extra bits of chrome trim, etc., that I cannot find on the options, but you can see in the pictures. The truck also comes with the add-on rail bed gate (not pictured, never used, but I can send pictures to anyone who wants to see) and a 500/5,000 lbs. trailer hitch (used once).   I bought this truck from the Dodge Dealer in Beaufort, SC, December 1, 2010. It had had one local owner before, and was maintained by the dealership. It had 37,860 miles and new tires (60,000 mile limited Warranty). I have driven the truck 28,100 miles, and that is just about in line with the tires: now 60% front tread, 50% rear tread, based on the Firestone Specification of 20/32” new tread depth. It has been maintained by the Dodge dealer in Bluffton, SC ever since I bought it - Nothing out of scheduled maintenance ever happened, but they have all the records.   I bought a Carefree Car Protection Mechanical Failure Contract, Gold Coverage, from Chrysler, adding 3 years and 36,000 miles. The Service Contract is good to 73,860 miles or 12/01/2013. This is transferrable to the new owner for a fee of $40.00, which Buyer will pay, if desired.   Flaws: there are 2 little picks in the upholstery of the rear seats (shown in video), a slight ripple in the drivers side rear chrome bumper (hard to see, but look at photo of left quarter), a very few minor scratches around the truck – I could not see them when I was taking these pictures, but I know there are about 4-5 places, plus a touched-up hand-sized area of little scrapes on the corner of the painted vinyl front bumper, driver’s side. There is a very tiny stone scar on the passenger side upper edge of the windshield, that is 1/4 ” diameter, and has been there since I bought the truck, with no change since then.   If there are any questions, please call Hank at (843) 290-4368   Thanks for looking at my Auction and Good Luck!  Please look at the descriptive, but very amateurish video:

Chrysler recalls AWD 300, Charger, Ram 1500 over ZF transmission

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

What do the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Ram 1500 all have in common? Yes, they're all Chrysler products, and two of them are based on the same platform. And we're sure you could find more similarities between them all, but the common trait we're looking at here is that, while they all come standard in rear-drive form, they're also available with all-wheel drive. And it's the transmission in those models that's the subject of the latest recall notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The output shaft on the eight-speed automatic transmission supplied by ZF to Chrysler for the AWD versions of the 300, Charger and Ram 1500 is apparently prone to fracture. That in the end could leave the vehicle without power and could, according to the NHTSA investigation, increase the chance of a crash. The vehicle could also roll away if even if left in Park without the handbrake applied.
That's why Chrysler is calling in 4,194 examples of those three models from the 2013 model year. Dealers will be responsible for inspecting the transmissions and, where necessary, replace the entire unit. See the full recall notice below for all the details.

2016 Dodge Viper ACR is ready to take a bite out of the Corvette Z06 [w/video]

Fri, May 8 2015

The Dodge Viper ACR is back, and as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles tells it, it's the most venomous breed ever born. Before you get too excited, the 8.4-liter V10 produces 645 horsepower; five more than the standard Viper and five less than the supercharged Chevrolet Corvette Z06. It's unclear why Dodge didn't extract more from the huge engine, although we somehow imagine that certain people in Maranello, Italy had a say in the matter. Instead of blessing the ACR variant with bunches of extra output, Dodge instead turned to an aggressive aerodynamics package that it claims delivers nearly a ton of downforce at the Viper's maximum speed of 177 miles per hour. The total aero package includes an adjustable, twin-element, carbon-fiber rear wing, carbon-fiber diffuser, an extendable front splitter, and dive planes. Those big louvers on the hood? Yeah, they're removable, too. The "race-tuned" suspension uses coil-over Bilstein shocks that offer ten different settings and up to three inches of height adjustment. Kumho Ecsta V720 tires were built specifically for the Viper ACR, and come in 355/30 in back and 295/25 in front, with 19-inch wheels at all four corners. Along with the aero improvements, Dodge is claiming the Viper can pull a race-car-like 1.5Gs in higher-speed turns. Carbon-ceramic brakes with six-piston calipers add the stopping power that's greater or equal to the ACR's cornering performance. Dodge was also keen to reduce weight, taking some rather dramatic measures in the effort. The stereo has just three speakers, while the electric function was removed from the seats. Even the carpet has been replaced with a "lightweight" alternative. Finally, Dodge is offering up the innovative 1 of 1 customization it pioneered with the Viper GT earlier this year. That means that not only can you get the fastest Viper ever built, but it'll be entirely your own when you take delivery.

Chrysler says its 8-speed transmissions will save 700 million gallons

Thu, Jun 19 2014

Chrysler Group's TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission could be earning some serious green bragging rights if the company's projections are correct. The recently widely proliferated automatic gearbox, which is now in more than a million vehicles around the world, is poised to save drivers an estimated 700+ million gallons of fuel over the vehicles' lifetimes (an expected cost savings of $2.5 billion). In addition, Chrysler expects a reduction in CO2 emissions by more than six million metric tons. According to Chrysler, and depending on the vehicle, the TorqueFlite can improve fuel economy. The TorqueFlite autobox features particularly close ratios from fifth to eighth gear (see the press release below for the specific numbers), and uses low-viscosity fluid that doesn't need to be replaced. Transmission software adapts to the driving situation to optimize efficiency based on driver behavior, temperature, grade, stability control, and longitudinal and lateral acceleration. The TorqueFlite is capable of handling a variety of duties. As evidenced by the wide range of vehicles Chrysler Group has seen fit to equip with the eight-speed transmission, the TorqueFlite is capable of handling a variety of duties. Since its 2012 introduction, the TorqueFlite has gone from performing cog-swapping duties in Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 models equipped with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 to changing gears in vehicles such as the Pentastar- and Hemi-powered Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee and even the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. For the 2015 model year, the eight-speed is finding its way into even more vehicles with the addition of a third version. In addition to the American-made TorqueFlite 845RE and 8HP70, the new 8HP90 will be manufactured in Saarbrucken, Germany. The 8HP90 is designed for higher torque loads, making it ideal for high-performance vehicles like the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. The already-in-use 8HP70 will expand its duties to be used in 2015 Hemi models such as the Dodge Charger, Challenger, and Challenger SRT8. You can see the list of those benchmarks in Chrysler's press release below.
