You are bidding on a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 sport model, 2 WD pickup truck. This particular truck has the 24 valve high output Cummins diesel engine. I have a superchip that you can install and remove to reprogram your computer from high performance to performance towing to regular towing and back to stock. The truck has 4" exhaust the whole way back. It has an am/fm stereo with single CD player with awesome sound, fold down - flip up rear seat, 4 doors, driver power seat, passenger seat is manual. The interior is in above average condition, no tears anywhere. There are no wear or tears in the carpets. Vehicle has not been smoked in. The center arm rest can flip up for an additional person to sit in the front. The passenger airbag can be turned off. There are some cracks in top of dashboard that are not real bad, but wanted to mention it. The passenger window works slow, sometimes it needs help. I am assuming it needs a motor, but I just leave it up. The driver's window works perfect. The overhead ceiling is in perfect condition. The truck has adjustable towing mirrors. It is equipped with a towing brake control and class 3 hitch. Also comes equipped with a pickup camper, tie-down system - frame mounted, which can be removed if you want. It has full length running boards. The truck shows signs of slight surface rust a couple of little places on the rocker panels, but it is not through. There is one small dent in the bottom center of the tailgate. The truck has an 8' bed with a rubber bed liner and also a rubber tailgate liner. It is equipped with a fuel pressure meter guage on the steering column to watch fuel pressure (see photo). It is serviced regularly and I use Shell Rotella oil. The automatic transmission oil and filter is changed annually. The transmission is a 4-speed overdrive. The transmission shifts tight and smoothe in all gears, however, I want to be honest and say that sometimes in overdrive, it feels like the overdrive chatters , and then goes away. The truck is equipped with 265/75/16 12-ply tires. Tires are roughly 50% . It has aluminum alloy wheels. In the past 6 months I had ball joints installed in the front, calipers, rotors and brakes all around. I also replaced brake fluid lines. The truck is very, very reliable. I had this truck for 5 years. I bought it with roughly 60,000 miles on it and I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere. I had a 5500 lb. truck camper on the back occassionally and while driving, you could hardly tell it was back there, as far as power, etc. The truck is currently PA inspected until 5/2013. I don't think it will take anything because I just had it all done last inspection. The paint on the truck is very nice and shiny, no peeling or clear coat coming off anywhere. I don't do much towing with it. I have pulled a couple trailers with it at 12,000 lbs. and the truck pulled that with ease, no problem. The only reason I am selling this truck is I no longer have a truck camper and don't need a heavy duty truck. This truck will make someone a great towing vehicle. In the photos it shows the carpet is dirty, however, I am going to have the truck cleaned up before it is sold. Any questions, please call 717-471-9111, George

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.
Are supercars becoming less special?
Thu, Sep 3 2015There's little doubt that we are currently enjoying the golden age of automotive performance. Dozens of different models on sale today make over 500 horsepower, and seven boast output in excess of 700 hp. Not long ago, that kind of capability was exclusive to supercars – vehicles whose rarity, performance focus, and requisite expense made them aspirational objects of desire to us mortals. But more than that, supercars have historically offered a unique driving experience, one which was bespoke to a particular model and could not be replicated elsewhere. But in recent years, even the low-volume players have been forced to find the efficiencies and economies of scale that formerly hadn't been a concern for them, and in turn the concept of the supercar as a unique entity unto itself is fading fast. The blame doesn't fall on one particular manufacturer nor a specific production technique. Instead, it's a confluence of different factors that are chipping away at the distinction of these vehicles. It's not all bad news – Lamborghini's platform sharing with Audi for the Gallardo and the R8 yielded a raging bull that was more reliable and easier to live with on a day-to-day basis, and as a result it went on to become the best-selling Lambo in the company's history. But it also came at the cost of some of the Italian's exclusivity when eerily familiar sights and sounds suddenly became available wearing an Audi badge. Even low-volume players have been forced to find economies of scale. Much of this comes out of necessity, of course. Aston Martin's recent deal with Mercedes-AMG points toward German hardware going under the hood and into the cabin of the upcoming DB11, and it's safe to assume that this was not a decision made lightly by the Brits, as the brand has built a reputation for the bespoke craftsmanship of its vehicles. There's little doubt that the DB11 will be a fine automobile, but the move does jeopardize some of the characteristic "specialness" that Astons are known for. Yet the world is certainly better off with new Aston Martins spliced with DNA from Mercedes-AMG rather than no new Astons at all, and the costs of developing cutting-edge drivetrains and user interfaces is a burden that's becoming increasingly difficult for smaller manufacturers to bear. Even Ferrari is poised to make some dramatic changes in the way it designs cars.
eBay Find of the Day: Viper Defender from '90s TV show
Fri, 24 May 2013As car lovers, it's always hard to find a good television show with decent cars, but what the 1990s show Viper lacked in acting, scripting and plot, it more than made up for with cool cars. For starters, the lead car was a Dodge Viper RT/10, but, on screen, it was able to morph into its "Defender" mode making it an armored coupe with a full arsenal of weapons.
Fortunately, you don't have to be a fan of the bad show to love its lead car, and if you really want one, a Defender is up for auction right now on eBay. According to the listing, this car is the real deal - not a clone - and it comes with a V8 engine (not sure what happened to the V10?) and plenty of swag and memorbilia. No word on its actual asking price, but with a day left and 42 bids already, the reserve has not been met at $133,400. The listing does add that this same car was listed at Mecum back in 2010, but did not get sold, even with a bid of $270,000.
