it started life as a 1985 d350 dually gasser. lifted the body off the chassis and dropped is onto a rolling chassis and powertrain from a 1993 w250 cummins extended cab long bed. fortunately the wheelbase was almost identical and the cab along with a shortbed i purchased dropped too perfectly. the rolling chassis and drivetrain had about 140k on it when i bought it from a friend whol crushed his cab loading broken cement into the bed with a front end loader. its now almost to 146k.  i have put alot of time, money, sweat, tears, and blood into this truck.  it was an automatic until recently. i purchased a 1992 w250 donor truck to do the manual conversion.  while under neath her as i was pulling everything out i decided it best to just rebuild everything seeing as i had some spending cash at the time.  front and rear axles have been rebuilt as well as the getrag 5 speed transmission and transfer case.  i sprung for a new clutch and upgraded to the southbend clutch hydraulics package.  everything i rebuilt was sanded, repainted black and rustoleumed as well as the chassis.  this truck will literally run forever. 
i picked up a diamond plate bumper and 10k pound ramsey wench for the front but it has not been installed yet. i have a new custom aluminum one piece rear drive shaft on the way right now.  the purchase was made because after converting to manual but before deciding to sell i had huge power aspirations. was intending to make this into a sled puller and pick up another daily.  
she has no carpet. original dash and door panels were red. iv replaced them with black panels. the carpet was still red so i yanked it out. the floor is in great shape..  i like the bare metal black. its durable and tough looking.  
the seats are blue. from a second gen cummins turbo diesel. all i had at the time.  future goals were to re upholster in black leather but its a future thing.  
also if you know anything about diesels, especially the dodge cummins, you know they are typically always leaking something somewhere.  this truck does not leak at all.  its completely dry which is something i am extremely proud of.  its a rarerly attained goal, especially considering the age of all this hardware.  

again.. the truck has around 145k mileage. however when i did the manual conversion i swapped the guage cluster.  the manual cluster reads 168k, which even if that were the true mileage its insignificant for a 12 valve cummins.  

rust and leak free.

you arrange shipping.

2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

Watchers of the auto industry will notice a theme among the formerly bankrupted American automakers, General Motors and Chrysler. There are the post-bankruptcy vehicles, and the pre-bankruptcy vehicles. The former, in the case of Chrysler, include the Jeep Grand Cherokee, as well as the 200 and 300. For GM, there's the Cadillac ATS, Chevrolet Impala and Buick Encore, among others. These vehicles have the freshest styling, with sharp exteriors and well-crafted interiors, as well as advanced powertrains and well-sorted chassis.
As for the pre-bankruptcy vehicles, they tend to be easy to spot. Most suffer from inferior driving dynamics, cheaper interiors, poorer fuel economy and often homely looks (we know, there were some decent cars before the bankruptcy, but they were pretty heavily outweighed by the bad ones). Think late, last-generation Chevrolet Impala or Chrysler 200. Increasingly, though, we're seeing vehicles that split the balance between pre- and post-bankruptcy. Vehicles like the Dodge Journey.
The Journey debuted in 2007 as a 2008 model year vehicle, meaning it should fall into the latter category. But heavily breathed upon in 2011, it now enjoys a new, 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, a big, critically acclaimed touchscreen display and in the case of today's tester, a new-for-2014 Crossroad spec.

2019 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat gets a Challenger-style intake in the grille

Wed, May 9 2018

Yesterday, we discovered that Dodge was working on some sort of update to the nose of the Charger Hellcat. Today, Dodge revealed what the change is. It's a new grille with an intake outlet. Basically, the 2019 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat will have the equivalent of the Challenger Hellcat's intake headlight. But since there isn't a convenient light to cut a hole in, Dodge just put a bigger hole in the grille next to the driver's side headlight. Presumably it leads right to the intake box like the intake on the Challenger. Close examination also reveals that the mesh has changed, as well. The 2019 model's grille has a bit more detail, and the openings are more round than the current model. No other aspects of the updated model have been revealed, but those details should come when the car is fully revealed this summer, along with the new Challenger.

McLaren 650S Spider wrecked in multi-vehicle crash in LA

Wed, Nov 2 2016

A multi-vehicle crash in Los Angeles left a $280,000- McLaren 650S Spider mangled and two hospitalized, reports KTLA5. The Los Angeles Police Department suspects street racing caused the incident. The crash occurred just outside of Hale Charter Academy in Woodlawn Hills on Tuesday night. According to eyewitness statements, the 650S Spider was traveling at a high rate of speed in a race against a black Dodge Charger or Challenger before colliding with an Audi (possibly an A6), leaving the Audi heavily damaged. The Dodge fled the scene before police arrived.
