Here it is, one of the rarest Dodge Diesels ever produced. It is the 1998 12 Valve Cummins with a 5 speed transmission, 4 wheel drive and it is a short bed! There was only around 400 of them ever made!

I am the second owner of this truck. The original owner is an older gentleman that I work with.  The reason this truck has so many miles is that he lives 80 miles away from work and he mostly drove this pickup. I was really excited when he sold it to me earlier this year. I thought I would never sell it, but we are expecting another baby and these quad cabs are not designed for reverse car seats. When I bought it, the truck had a service bed on it. I took it off and tried to find a regular bed for it but could not find one close by. I have a brother in law that is a talented Black Smith and he designed and built the flat bed for this truck.

As you can see from the pictures the truck is not brand new, so if you bid on it keep that in mind. It runs great. It shifts perfect. The transmission has been replaced by the original owner. He also had the injection pump rebuilt and the turbo. It has also had the front end worked on and other minor repairs. It has a Banks monster exhaust muffler. Besides that it is completely stock.  Everything works in the truck. This includes the 4x4. I put tires on it a few months ago and they only have a few thousand miles on them. There is a toggle switch on the dash that is for the flood light on the bed. In the picture of the flat bed, I put a board to cover my license plate. When the service bed was on the truck it had an auxiliary tank and that was the switch for the pump. Please bid knowing that the truck is 16 years old. Bidders that do not have any bidding history please email me first. Ask me any questions. If I can’t answer I still work with the original owner, so I can ask him. Local pick up only.

I don’t really know what a truck like this is worth, so I put the reserve around what I bought it for. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Thank you!

 This truck has been very well care for. The original owner had all the maintenance performed by the local Dodge dealer. This is the same dealer that he bought the truck. I am located about 3 hours from Phoenix or Albuquerque. If you fly into one of those cities I can pick you up in the Dodge. Please feel free to ask any questions.

Thank you

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years

Tue, 06 May 2014

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

EV cost burden pushing automakers to their limits, says Stellantis' CEO Tavares

Wed, Dec 1 2021

DETROIT — Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said external pressure on automakers to quickly shift to electric vehicles potentially threatens jobs and vehicle quality as producers struggle with EVs' higher costs. Governments and investors want car manufacturers to speed up the transition to electric vehicles, but the costs are "beyond the limits" of what the auto industry can sustain, Tavares said in an interview at the Reuters Next conference released Wednesday. "What has been decided is to impose on the automotive industry electrification that brings 50% additional costs against a conventional vehicle," he said. "There is no way we can transfer 50% of additional costs to the final consumer because most parts of the middle class will not be able to pay." Automakers could charge higher prices and sell fewer cars, or accept lower profit margins, Tavares said. Those paths both lead to cutbacks. Union leaders in Europe and North America have warned tens of thousands of jobs could be lost. Automakers need time for testing and ensuring that new technology will work, Tavares said. Pushing to speed that process up "is just going to be counter productive. It will lead to quality problems. It will lead to all sorts of problems," he said. Tavares said Stellantis is aiming to avoid cuts by boosting productivity at a pace far faster than industry norm. "Over the next five years we have to digest 10% productivity a year ... in an industry which is used to delivering 2 to 3% productivity" improvement, he said. "The future will tell us who is going to be able to digest this, and who will fail," Tavares said. "We are putting the industry on the limits." Electric vehicle costs are expected to fall, and analysts project that battery electric vehicles and combustion vehicles could reach cost parity during the second half of this decade. Like other automakers that earn profits from combustion vehicles, Stellantis is under pressure from both establishment automakers such as GM, Ford, VW and Hyundai, as well as start-ups such as Tesla and Rivian. The latter electric vehicle companies are far smaller in terms of vehicle sales and employment. But investors have given Tesla and Rivian higher market valuations than the owner of the highly profitable Jeep and Ram brands. That investor pressure is compounded by government policies aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The European Union, California and other jurisdictions have set goals to end sales of combustion vehicles by 2035.

Guy trying to sell Challenger Hellcat for $89,000 because VIN ends in '666'

Mon, Jul 27 2015

The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is undoubtedly one of the baddest cars on the road today. With a 707-horsepower supercharged V8 snarling under the hood, the coupe can go down the road like a bat out of hell. There's not much that could make one of these muscle machines much more menacing, but a seller on Craigslist has one bizarre solution: offering a hellacious Hellcat with a VIN marking the Dodge as the beastly 666. What's the price for such unholy identification? That's a cool $89,000 – around $30,000 more than a brand new, less sacrilegious example. The seller claims that the Challenger's blasphemous number makes the vehicle "one of a kind," which is true only to the extent that VINs ending 665 and 667 would be similarly unique. The seller also says in the Craigslist ad, "This car is sure to become a collector's item and will only increase in value." There's no question that the Hellcat is a special machine, and the models just might be worth something decades into the future. Expecting that a future owner is going to care about the VIN seems pretty optimistic, though, unless this is either the first or last example, which it's not. To the credit of this superstitious seller, the Challenger appears completely untouched with all of the warning stickers, paperwork and even the plastic still covering the seats. So, the new owner is at least getting a practically untouched example. While we applaud audacity here, a roughly $30,000 premium for an unholy VIN seems a bit... devilish.
