Very rare bright silver standard cab Dodge RAM SRT-10 Viper Edition truck. Only 698 of these trucks were built and much less remain in existance. 500 horse power 8.3 liter V10 Viper engine with Borg Warner 6 speed manual transmission, dual climate control, factory navigation CD changer Infinity sound system. This truck has never been in an accident and has a completely clean Carfax. I have invested over $7,000 in custom performance upgrades, plus labor to have the upgrades installed. The truck is in excellent shape inside and out. I rate it a solid 8.5 out of perfect 10. The paint looks new and theres not a spot of rust anywhere on the body. Very clean interior. The truck has never been driven in the winter. If your looking at buying a RAM SRT10 they are great trucks, and for the most part, reliable, powerful and fun machines. However heres what you need to know before you decide to buy one. Just like a lot of other car manufacturers, Chrysler cut some corners on the RAM SRT10 trucks to save a buck, so they unfortunately suffer from some inherent problems right from the factory. If your looking to buy a low mileage one, because you think it will be more reliable, you are making a mistake. Most issues with the SRT10 Ram trucks dont start showing up until they hit the 50K mile mark, give or take, depending on the way they have been driven. Never the less, rest assured they will ALL have the following mechanical failures, eventually. So if your looking at a truck with lower miles, these problems have either not occured yet or have not yet been taken care of, unless specified by the seller, since to fix them properly will costs thousands and thousands of dollars. Heres a list of things that will go wrong with a 2004-2006 Ram SRT10:All of the early Borg Warner T56 transmissions, used in the manual shift SRT10 Rams, develop issues with the 3rd gear synchro, as well as, reverse gear, after about 50-75K miles. The only way to fix this problem properly is to change out all the internal components to the updated Borg Warner TREMEC T56 internals. The cost of this job is $3-4,000 plus labor for removal and installation. This job can only be done by certain transmission shops that have the special tools and knowledge to open and service these transmmisions. Next, the clutch slave cylinder and master cylinder on these trucks were verly poorly designed, and will all suffer mechanical failure sooner or later. The slave cylinder is made from cheap plastic, which warps and starts to leak over time, and the master cylinder becomes weak and unable to properly disengage the clutch disk from the flywheel. The proper fix is to replace the slave cylinder with an all metal version and change out the master cylinder with a high performance aftermarket component. Price for this job is $500-600 in parts plus 4-5 shop hours labor. Next, the Hurst shifter on these trucks becomes sloppy and unusable, All the plastic bushings inside wear out and it becomes dificult, or even imposible, to properly switch gears. There are few upgraded shifters available, B&M used to make a short throw shifter and Venom Performance still manufactures a very good short throw shifter for these trucks. The cost is $300-$450 depending on the model. Next is the oil cooler and power steering lines, which all start to leak pretty much from the start. You can replace them with factory ones, but they will only start leaking again soon after. Only solution is to have a set custom made, or to purchase a set from Venom performance for $350 plus 3-4 hours of shop labor to install them. Last but not least is the harmonic dampener which fails when the elastic material gets hard and britle, and falls apart, causing excessive engine noise and premature internal engine component wear if not addressed. The dampeners cost anywhere from $200-350 plus lots of shop hours to remove everything in the way to access it. So still want a low mileage SRT10?Anyways, Ive owned my truck for about 3 years. I purchased it from a gentleman who drove it daily to work and so majority of the mileage is all highway miles. I purchased the truck with 108K on the odometer. At the time of purchase I had all of the issues listed above properly addressed. So this truck is now completely bullet-proofed and ready for another 100K miles without any issues. Here is a list of all work performed: 1. The leak prone factory power steering and oil cooler lines have been replaced with braided stainless steel lines from JTS Venom Performance. These lines carry a lifetime warranty against leakage. 2. I had the old T56 tranmission rebuilt by Portland Transmission in Providence RI, who is one of a few authorized Borg Warner repair shops in the North East. They installed all new updated TREMEC internals, so no more 3rd gear grind or reverse lock out issues ever again. 3. I also installed a high performance FX400 Clutch Masters race clutch and a Fidanza aluminum flywheel with replaceable friction disk. 4. The leaking master and slave cylinders were replaced with a Wilwood billet clutch master cylinder and a JTS Venom aluminum slave cylinder. 5. I also replaced the crappy Hurst shifter with the JTS Venom adjustable short gate shifter 6. I replaced the old dried up harmonic balancer with a Mopar performance fluid type balancer.7. Installed JTS Venom lightweight billet aluminum underdrive pulley and new JTS accessory drive belt.The cost of all these parts cost me over $7,000 plus thousands in labor. New OEM brake rotors and Stoptech brake pads were also installed about 5K miles ago. The tires are 80% with about 6K miles on them. The truck also has a full Magnaflow dual stainless steel exhaust. K&N cold air intake, , Rhynolined bed with BedRug bed liner, new Optima Big Red Battery and lots of other little extras. I have over $13K in upgrades invested in this truck.The truck is in excellent used shape inside and out. I rate it 8.5 out of a perfect 10. It has never been driven in the winter. Its an awesome truck with thousands invested in upgrades, Im listing it way below market value, your not going to find one even close to this condition for the money Im asking.

Chrysler killing off the 200 Convertible, Dodge Avenger
Sun, 23 Feb 2014When Chrysler rolled out the first-generation 200 to replace the Sebring range in 2010, it included replacements for both the sedan and the convertible. The Sebring Coupe, however, was left out of the mix. And now that the second-generation Chrysler 200 is descending upon us, Auburn Hills is paring things down even further. But this time, it's the convertible that reportedly isn't making the cut. Shame, too, since the rendering above shows what could have been quite an attractive droptop.
As our compatriots at Edmunds point out, sales of the convertible model accounted for less than five percent of overall Chrysler 200 sales, and at those numbers, the considerable cost of engineering a new drop-top couldn't be justified. With the Toyota Camry Solara and Volkswagen Eos also gone from the market (well, the VW isn't gone quite yet), the discontinuation of the Chrysler 200 Convertible leaves the affordable convertible segment largely to the sportier likes of the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro and smaller European offerings like the Mini Cooper and VW Beetle.
The Chrysler 200 Convertible isn't the only derivative being left behind with the new model: so too is the Dodge Avenger. That will leave a glaring hole in the Dodge lineup, with nothing to bridge the gap between the compact Dart and the larger Charger. Whether the Dodge brand has any plans to replace the Avenger with another model, not to be based on the 200, remains to be seen.
Stellantis says its 2021 performance has been better than expected
Thu, Jul 8 2021MILAN — Stellantis softened up investors ahead of its electrification strategy event on Thursday by flagging that 2021 got off to a better-than-expected start despite a chip shortage that has hit automakers worldwide. Stellantis, which was formed in January from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, faces an investor community keen to hear how it plans to come up with a range of electrified vehicles (EVs) to rival Tesla. At its "EV Day 2021" kicking off at 1230 GMT, Stellantis will disclose significant investments in electrification technology and connected software as it aims to be an industry frontrunner, it said in a statement. In April, Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said it would offer low-emission versions — either battery or hybrid electric — of almost all of its European models by 2025, and they should make up 70% of European sales and 35% of U.S. sales by 2030. Stellantis, the world's fourth-biggest automaker, has 14 brands in its stable, including Jeep, Ram, Opel, Fiat, Peugeot and Maserati.  Stellantis EV Day coverage: Dodge will launch the 'world's first electric muscle car' in 2024 Fully electric Ram 1500 will begin production in 2024 Jeep will have 4xe plug-in hybrid models across the lineup by 2025 Stellantis teases mystery electric Chrysler concept Stellantis previews 4 electric platforms: Here's how they'll be used Fiat says all Abarth models to be electric from 2024 Opel Manta E will be the electric revival of the classic German coupe Stellantis says its 2021 performance has been better than expected  At a similar EV strategy event last week, French rival Renault announced that 90% of its main brand models would be all-electric by 2030, whereas previously it had included hybrids in its target. Germany's Volkswagen, the world's second-biggest automaker after Toyota, expects all-electric vehicles to make up 55% of its total sales in Europe by 2030, and more than 70% of sales at its Volkswagen brand. Stellantis said its margins on adjusted operating profits in the first half of 2021 were expected to exceed an annual target of between 5.5% and 7.5%, despite production losses due to a global shortage of semiconductor supplies. Stellantis shares listed in Milan were down 2.6% at 0920 GMT, underperforming the broader European car index. Bestinver analyst Marco Opipari said Thursday's news was positive but that the stock was suffering from profit taking as it had moved up about 20% since the end of April.
2021 L.A. Auto Show roundup | All the reveals, reviews, pictures
Thu, Nov 18 2021The L.A. Auto Show took place this week for the first time since the onset of the pandemic. It was a show packed with news and reveals, which hasn't really been the case with other shows we've seen this year, and Autoblog was on the floor covering every minute of it. Well, Riswick and Stocksdale were, anyway. The rest of us were sitting at home in our sweatpants, but hey, we'll take credit anyway. Let's get to it. Hyundai Seven Concept This is the Hyundai Seven Concept, and it’s meant to act as a preview for an incoming electric SUV for the Ioniq brand. It leans more toward the concept side of the spectrum than a production car, but expect the final SUV to take design cues from the Seven Concept. Kia Concept EV9 The Hyundai Seven counterpart isn't the only big, bold electric SUV at L.A. this year. Kia has its own take, and it's a modernized version of the traditional boxy utility vehicle called the Concept EV9. It also previews one of the next production electric cars for the brand, which should look right at home next to things like the Telluride. 2023 Kia Sportage HEV As promised, the 2023 Kia Sportage HEV has been revealed. The hybrid powertrain makes the compact SUV the most powerful version available, and it goes on sale next year. The engine is a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder paired with a 44-kW electric motor. Total output is 226 horsepower. The company didn't give a torque number, but it should basically be the same as the Sorento HEV that has the same basic powertrain: 258 pound-feet. Those numbers are a healthy step up from the 187 horsepower of the base 2.5-liter engine. 2022 Range Rover If you noticed how extra smooth and suave the new Range Rover looked during its recent reveal, Autoblog's James Riswick got a design tour that revealed some of the technological secrets to its success. "Less is more" is harder to achieve than it looks. Fisker Ocean Fisker has brought the new Ocean EV to the L.A. Auto Show, with a public preview at Manhattan Beach and a presence at the show itself. You can watch the public show reveal above, and see more shots from the show floor below. Fisker says the Ocean will start at $37,499 before incentives. That entry model would be the Sport trim with a single, 275-horsepower motor driving the front wheels and 250 miles of estimated range. It also has a 0-60 time of 6.9 seconds. 2023 Toyota bZ4X This is the 2023 Toyota bZ4X, due to hit U.S.
