" SILVER " my beloved Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 diesel 4x4 Quad cab ( not mega ) with tow package. HIYO SILVER ! Permanent California truck. Stock truck with no aftermarket additions. No real four wheel off road mileage. I have owned too many vehicles to count and this Dodge Ram truck is by far my favorite truck ever. It is just simply the strongest, best running, most stable handling truck I have ever owned. The sweet whistling sound of the turbo winding up @ 55-60 MPH rolling down the interstate is simply music to a man's ears. I bought it " used " from Haddad Dodge in Bakersfield Ca., Sept 11th 2009, with 18K miles on it. I had looked all over and found different and cheaper trucks, but this was " the one ". It had factory maintenance before I bought it as a " certified " vehicle. I personally changed the oil myself @ 3K mile intervals after buying it. It was also changed twice in a lube shop due to schedule only. The owners manual recommends an oil change at 15K mile intervals. It was changed at 3K mile intervals anyway. Initially with "Delo" then switched to Rotella. Air/fuel filters were changed with oil changes. The auto transmission was serviced at factory recommended 30K intervals with oil/filter changes. I planned on this being the last vehicle I would ever own so she was babied and pampered. It has 116,000 + miles on it now. I worked as a paramedic out of town and commuted 200 miles + - for shifts so 90% of miles are highway miles. I have replaced 1 set of tires/ brakes as needed, but other than that no major repairs/issues. I used to normally put 3-4K miles per month on it until 2 years ago when I switched jobs and now fly to work out of state. I do not even put 3K miles a year now on her and subsequently.....I am going to sell her. Everything works on it. Everything. Even the factory sliding " sunroof" works letting sun in and stress out. I don't use 4 wheel drive here in California but I would take it off road once or twice a year/6 months or so and engage the 4 wheel system and drive in 4 low & 4 high. Forward and backward, full lock left to full lock right to move everything around to lube it up. I placed it on a "non op" last March and have only driven it to be " smog checked "at a local shop. It has newer tires Hercules 285/70 R17 on it with 9K miles on them. Has 2 new batteries also in March. Comes with spare/emergency serpentine belt and both radiator hoses. Has tool box in bed.

MotorWeek remembers a better time for Mitsubishi performance

Fri, Feb 26 2016

Dodge still knows how to create an capable performance car – look at the Hellcats, for example – but the same isn't true for Mitsubishi. With the Lancer Evo's demise, we don't expect driving enthusiasts to clamor for any of the Japanese automaker's other products. Things used to be different, though. As MotorWeek found in its new Retro Review, the 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 and its sibling, the Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo, were impressive sports coupes in their day. Dodge and Mitsubishi packed a bevy of cutting-edge tech into the coupes. In these trims, both sported all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, an adjustable suspension, active exhaust, and automatic climate control. The 3000GT VR4 upped the ante even more with active aero parts at the front and rear. Their 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 was good for 300 horsepower and 307 pound-feet, which were good numbers at the time. This pair put all their gizmos to good use, too. MotorWeek compares the all-wheel-drive system's grip levels to a Porsche 911 Carrera 4. When was the last time you heard any favorable similarity between a Mitsubishi and a Porsche? The Stealth R/T Turbo and 3000GT VR4 came from a special time for Japanese sports coupes, when every brand had a halo model. Whether you were looking at Nissan 300ZX, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra, or even the Acura NSX, there was a lot to like on the market. MotorWeek's latest Retro Review offers a great reminder of that period.

Amazon opens contest for The Grand Tour tickets in the US

Thu, Jul 7 2016

British enthusiasts already had the opportunity to win tickets to the first taping of The Grand Tour, and now Amazon has opened up a similar chance for customers in the US. In celebration of Prime Day, which starts today, customers in the US can enter The Grand Tour Prime Day Prize Draw. The prize includes travel, $200 to spend, accommodation, and a meet and greet with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. Customers that are interested fulfilling a childhood dream should visit Amazon's website and fill out the entry form soon as the draw closes on July 12. The Grand Tour will launch this fall as an exclusive for Amazon Prime members with the exact city locations for studio records set to be revealed later this summer. Amazon, however, did reveal that the trio will host shows in the UK, US, and Germany. So there's no need to get too upset if you don't win the draw. With Top Gear getting a major shakeup with the departure of Chris Evans, we're itching to see Clarkson, Hammond, and May behind the wheel of cars again. The trio, it seems, is also excited to get the new show rolling as Clarkson posted a drifty video on his Facebook page. The trio are currently in Italy filming a comparison between an Aston Martin DB11, a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, and Rolls-Royce Dawn. The five-second clip has the Challenger Hellcat and DB11 drifting head-on into the camera crew, which is behind the wheel of an Alfa Romeo.

FCA and Cummins named in diesel emissions class-action lawsuit

Mon, Nov 14 2016

Chrysler is now the first United States-based carmaker to be sued for allegedly skewing emissions results. In a move that sounds eerily similar to the troubles of European manufacturers, Chrysler is claimed to have hid diesel engine characteristics causing emissions as much as 14 times higher than permitted by regulations. According to Bloomberg, the lawsuit alleges that Chrysler, together with its diesel engine partner Cummins, has concealed the nitrogen oxide output of certain Ram vehicles produced between 2007 and 2012. The NOx pollutants were meant to be broken down in a process called regeneration in the truck's NAC system, or NOx Absorption Catalyst, which predated the 2013-introduced SCR, or Selective Catalytic Reduction system. By design, the NAC captures and stores NOx emissions, converting them to nitrogen and oxygen through a catalytic process. The lawsuit claims the Cummins engine's system has a limited capacity to store the emissions, and as a result the pollutants escape, increasing emissions, worsening fuel consumption and wearing down the catalytic converter. The later, cleaner SCR system uses a urea-water injection, and it gradually replaced the NAC on Cummins 6.7-liter engines, as it was first implemented in 2011 and made standard in 2013. As Bloomberg notes, the model years of Ram trucks involved in the lawsuit predate the earliest Volkswagen "Dieselgate" models by two years. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of 500,000 truck owners, accuses Chrysler and Cummins of fraud, false advertising and racketeering. As an underlying motive, the filing mentions a 2001 change in EPA emissions standards. Announced to become effective in 2010, the EPA requirements drove Chrysler and Cummins to try and reach those already by 2007. However, the NAC system is said to have fallen short of these goals, and the filing claims that Chrysler and Cummins chose to "rig" the engines instead. The affected vehicles predate the 2014 merger of Chrysler and Fiat. FCA US has released a statement regarding the lawsuit, saying it will contest the lawsuit "vigorously".
