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:

Fiat Chrysler posts record Q3 profit thanks to U.S. trucks and Jeep

Wed, Oct 28 2020

MILAN — A rebound in car production in Fiat Chrysler on Wednesday reported record third-quarter earnings as production returned to nearly pre-pandemic levels. The Italian-American automaker, which is finalizing its full merger with French rival PSA Peugeot, reported a net profit in the three months ending Sept. 30 of $1.4 billion (1.2 billion euros). That compares with a loss of 179 million euros a year earlier. The carmaker reported adjusted earnings before tax and interest in North America of 2.5 billion euros. That offset deepening losses in Europe, Asia and at its Maserati luxury marquee. Latin America, the only other region to post a profit, saw it narrow by two-thirds to 46 million euros. Â“Our record results were driven by our teamÂ’s tremendous performance in North America,Â” CEO Mike Manley said in a statement. Overall, the carmaker said global earnings before tax and interest were a record 2.3 billion euros despite a 6% fall in revenues to 26 billion euros. Global shipments were down 3%, due largely to plant retooling in North American to produce the new Jeep Grand Wagoneer in the luxury SUV segment and the discontinuation of the Dodge Grand Caravan classic minivan. Fiat Chrysler announced earlier Wednesday that its merger with PSA Peugeot is on track to be finalized by the end of the first quarter of 2021, as planned. To meet regulatory concerns, the French carmaker is selling a small stake in a components maker to get below 40% ownership. The new automaker, to be called Stellantis, will be the fourth biggest producer in the world. Earnings/Financials Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM Citroen Peugeot

Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet

Wed, Oct 7 2015

Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.

Fiat Chrysler recalls 4.8 million U.S. vehicles for cruise control defect

Fri, May 25 2018

WASHINGTON - Fiat Chrysler said on Friday it is recalling 4.8 million U.S. vehicles over a defect that could prevent drivers from deactivating cruise control and warned owners not to use the function until they get software upgrades. The Italian-American automaker said no injuries or crashes are related to the large recall campaign but said it had one report of a driver of a 2017 Dodge Journey rental car unable to deactivate the cruise control. Fiat Chrysler, which in 2015 was hit with penalties from U.S. regulators totaling $175 million for safety lapses, did not say how much the recalls would cost. The recall addresses what Fiat Chrysler called an "extremely rare" series of events that could lead to drivers being unable to cancel cruise control. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Friday it "strongly encourages vehicle owners to follow a warning" to stop using cruise control on the recalled vehicles until repaired. NHTSA said drivers could overpower the system by forcefully applying the brakes until the vehicle stopped. Fiat Chrysler also said the vehicle could be stopped by shifting into neutral and braking. Fiat Chrysler shares fell more than 2 percent in premarket trading in New York on the recall. Fiat Chrysler noted that at times cruise control systems automatically initiate acceleration to help vehicles maintain driver-selected speeds, including when going up an incline. If an acceleration occurs simultaneously with a short-circuit in a specific electrical network, a driver could be unable to deactivate the function. Fiat Chrysler said vehicles may be placed in park once stopped, at which point cruise-control is canceled. The recall involves a group of gasoline-powered vehicles with automatic transmissions from various model years built from 2014 through the 2019 model year. Most of the vehicles being recalled cover the 2014-2018 model years. Among the vehicles being recalled are the Chrysler 200, Chrysler 300, Chrysler Pacifica, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Journey, Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Wrangler and Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks and Ram 3500/4500/5500 cab chassis trucks. Fiat Chrysler made the announcement going into the busy Memorial Day weekend, which traditionally kicks off the summer driving season.
