  Up for bids I have my very nice looking glossy black extended cab long box 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT 4 wheel drive with the Cummins Turbo 12 valve with 197611 miles on it. 

  The truck runs great and is very dependable.
  The tires where replaced new at 181431 miles right after I painted the truck.
  This was originally garnet red with the gray bottom.
  Comes with the double chrome roll bar, chrome nerf bars, chrome grill guard, and visor with lights.
  This has the automatic transmission that was rebuilt wth upgraded torque converter at 126670 miles. The transmission still shifts good.
  Has the 4 inch strait pipe all the way back.
  The last photos show sticker information on the truck
  I bought the truck used from Billion Dodge Chrysler Jeep in Bozeman Montana in 07 with  154900 miles on it and it had this 4 inch strait pipe exhaust.  I had a local Diesel shop add the 95 horsepower torque plate.
  This truck has a lot of horsepower and torque.
  The fuel milage is very good. I will do 24 miles per gallon at its best and goes down the faster you go or the harder you push it.
  The paint is still very nice with some chips and nicks from Winter driving but not bad.
  The interior is fairly nice with a small tear in the headliner from packing snowmobile hoods in the cab and a few stains that should clean up.
   The truck is mostly a no smoking truck and I do not smoke, but I have had people light up there smokes in the truck when I was not in it. It does not smell of smoke but has light evidence that someone has tried to. So its best for me to say very little smoking has been done in the truck. 
   I removed the flip up fifth wheel hitch when I replaced the box but the bracket is still on the frame and I have the hitch yet that goes with the truck.
  The electric door lock was removed from the drivers door to prevent the passenger from locking the truck on me.
   This has been a very dependable truck and the only issue I have had is that once in a while the fuel cut off will not kick in. This only happens when the truck is warm so I learned to just run the starter and not wait for the wait light to go off if it is above 60 degrees out or engine is warm.
  There will be a few more miles on it because I am going to have the AC  fixed on Thursday morning. I t is just a high pressure switch leak so it will be replaced and recharged.
  This truck is good for a lot of miles yet. It has been a great truck I would love to keep but I need the money for health reasons.
  I do not know the history of the truck before I got it but since I had it i had a motorcyle catch the grill guard and I slid off a icy winter road in a snow storm into the snow piled 6 foot high along the highway that caused some damage to the drivers side. I repaired the damage replaced the box because I found a box in nice condition and painted the truck black. This was in the Spring of 2009. The front end had tie rods and some other parts replace and wheels allinged then also.
   When I changed out the box I noticed that on the old box it had brackets for transmission coolers on both sides.
  This must have been done when the transmission was rebuilt. This is a plus for the transmission because these automatics will take almost anything if you keep them from overheating.  I recomend you have them or a large trasmission cooler installed if you want to pull loads or even making it shift in to overdrive under full power.
  I never pulled anything heavier than a car trailer with a car on it.

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.

Watch 1,414-hp worth of Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat do stereo burnouts

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

When Dodge announced that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would produce 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from its supercharged 6.2-liter V8, automotive enthusiasts were shocked. The company had promised us that it would be powerful, but no one expected for the muscle car to post even larger numbers than the range-topping Viper.
Car and Driver recently got ahold of two new SRTs and decided that the only proper way to show them off was by lighting up the rears in stereo. With a combined 1,414 horsepower, the pair of them make burnouts from the Hellcat V8 look as easy as breathing. The tires start spinning at the slightest provocation and just don't stop. If you buy one of these, it looks like you and the employees at the local tire store are going to be on a first name basis.
Scroll down to watch these two Hellcats to lay down enough smoke to alert the local hook and ladder trucks.
