Up for sale is my custom built 1992 Dodge Cummins Crew cab. It started out as an extended cab long bed truck. In
2001 it was stripped down to the bare frame to begin the build to make it into a crew cab. The chassis was
stretched and reinforced. The cab came from a 1980 forest service truck from California. It was sand blasted down
to bare metal to make sure there was no rust anywhere. The cab and rear doors are from the 1980 truck. Everything
else is 1992. It is titled and vin'd as a 1992. All the 92 interior was installed, along with power seats from a
Ford super duty. The center console is a locking unit from Tuffy. Everything is power, including the rear doors.
During the build a power sunroof from a Mercedes was installed. It does not leak at all. Never has. The truck is
100% rust free. Not a spot anywhere. It has Buckstop bumpers front and rear. I have the brush guard, but it is not
currently installed. Right after the truck was built it was photographed for Buckstops website. I have included
some of those photos. The photos of the truck with the original bed are old photos. I no longer have the bed for
the truck.
The engine is a 12 valve Cummins turbo diesel and the transmission is a 5 speed manual Getrag. It has a Dana 60
front with Chevy crossover steering, and the rear is a disc brake Dana 80 from a 2001 Ram. It has 3.55 gears. Last
fall all the u-joints and brakes were replaced. Clutch is in good shape and everything works flawlessly. It has a
4" lift with near new 35" BFG all terrains on 16.5" aluminum wheels.
Last fall the original engine was replaced with one that had fewer miles. The new engine has 120k, and before it
was installed it got a bunch of new gaskets replaced, the killer dowel pin fixed and new main seals. I also had new
75 hp injectors, and a new Holset HX35 turbo installed at that time. Other than those two items, the engine is
stock. The truck has driven about 2500 miles since all this work was done.
As far as extras, the truck has a straight pipe exhaust, a Pacbrake exhaust brake, onboard air compressor and rear
airbags with controls and gauge inside the cab. The bed has a hidden gooseneck hitch. The bed surface is Trex deck
and it's seen some use. The truck was built for work. The bed was originally built to dump, and still could if a
hydraulic cylinder were to be installed. All the original bed mounts are still there, so putting a factory bed back
on it would be an easy thing to do.
On to the bad. The clearcoat is starting to peel in a few places, mainly on the hood. I did my best to show it in
the pictures. There is one spot of minor damage in the front passenger corner by the bumper where the truck hooked
a fence post. It has minor scratches here and there, but no major damage. Its never been wrecked or in any kind of
accident. Mechanically there are only 2 things wrong with this truck. The cruise control does not work, and the
speedometer bounces around. I'm pretty sure it needs a new cable. It just turned 200k, but with the speedo acting
up, the actual mileage is around 210k.

2015 Dodge Challenger configurator has all the Hellcat you can dream of

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has sucked up a lot of air in the automotive news world this summer, so it's good to know that you can actually go out and, you know, buy the sucker. With 2015 models headed for your local showroom, Dodge has seen fit to also pull the wraps off it's latest Challenger configurator, complete with the supercharged Hemi V8 option that we just can't seem to get enough of.
We're still enamored of the $58,995 starting price for the 707-horsepower SRT, but the online tool finally gives us a chance to see just how optioned up our dream super-muscle coupe can get.
Buyers can choose from three interior treatments and nine paint colors, with two hues (Ivory White and Phantom Black tri-coats) coming for a $500 premium. For $1,795 Laguna Leather SRT bucket seats can be added in place of the (very nice) stock chairs, and a fancier infotaiment system with navigation and HD radio runs $695.

Dodge Demon's A/C helps its supercharged Hemi make more power

Thu, Mar 30 2017

Staying cool is one important key to performance. Simply, more air means more power, and cool, dense air is better than hot air. While forced induction might help make copious amounts of horsepower, turbos and superchargers produce heat. Intercoolers help, but the new Dodge Demon and its supercharged Hemi need a bit of an extra boost. In Drag Mode, the Demon's engine commandeers the car's air conditioning system to help chill things out. The Demon will have the first production application of a liquid-to-air charge air cooler chiller system. Literally, the car's air conditioning system is used to cool the air going into the engine, dropping temps by up to 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Dodge claims the system helps achieve "temperatures previously unattainable by pressure-charged street-legal production vehicles." As cool as this may sound, the technology isn't new. Ford had a prototype system in the early 2000s called SuperCooler, though that system never made it to production. While the Demon's system doesn't have a super cool name like the one from Ford, the pair essentially work in the same way. In theory, it should have the same effect as a bottle of nitrous. According to Autoweek, Ford's system bumped up the output of the F-150 Lightning by about 50 horsepower. Turns out that air conditioning isn't always a huge power suck. Related Video:

Stellantis invests more than $100 million in California lithium project

Thu, Aug 17 2023

Stellantis said it would invest more than $100 million in California's Controlled Thermal Resources, its latest bet on the direct lithium extraction (DLE) sector amid the global hunt for new sources of the electric vehicle battery metal. The investment by the Chrysler and Jeep parent announced on Thursday comes as the green energy transition and U.S. Inflation Reduction Act have fueled concerns that supplies of lithium and other materials may fall short of strong demand forecasts. DLE technologies vary, but each aims to mechanically filter lithium from salty brine deposits and thus avoid the need for open pit mines or large evaporation ponds, the two most common but environmentally challenging ways to extract the battery metal. Stellantis, which has said half of its fleet will be electric by 2030, also agreed to nearly triple the amount of lithium it will buy from Controlled Thermal, boosting a previous order to 65,000 metric tons annually for at least 10 years, starting in 2027. "This is a significant investment and goes a long way toward developing this key project," Controlled Thermal CEO Rod Colwell said in an interview. The company plans to spend more than $1 billion to separate lithium from superhot geothermal brines extracted from beneath California's Salton Sea after flashing steam off those brines to spin turbines that will produce electricity starting next year. That renewable power is expected to cut the amount of carbon emitted during lithium production. Rival Berkshire Hathaway has struggled to produce lithium from the same area given large concentrations of silica in the brine that can form glass when cooled, clogging pipes. Colwell said a $65 million facility recently installed by Controlled Thermal can remove that silica and other unwanted metals. DLE equipment licensed from Koch Industries would then remove the lithium. "We're very happy with the equipment," he said. "We're going to deliver. There's just no doubt about it." Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares called the Controlled Thermal partnership "an important step in our care for our customers and our planet as we work to provide clean, safe and affordable mobility." Both companies declined to provide the specific investment amount. Controlled Thermal aims to obtain final permits by October and start construction of a commercial lithium plant soon thereafter, Colwell said. Goldman Sachs is leading the search for additional debt and equity financing, he added.
