This truck is truly unique and has been engineered to be unstoppable. I have driven and towed using it in all kinds of conditions (several feet of snow, mud, rocks, ice) and it has never been stuck. It has only actually been off road a handful of times and been used mostly as my ranch truck in North Idaho. I bought it as a stock truck and had all of the following modifications professionally done. I have personally driven this truck over 2000 miles without refueling on a road trip, just to prove I could. It has had over $140k up upgrades in it, and it kills me to sell it. I intended on keeping it forever. But, my wife absolutely hates it and (she says it is my mistress and one of us has to go...) plus, I have bills to pay. So, I unfortunately need to part ways with it. It has been maintained by the dealer under extended warranties until this year and has no known problems.
According to Banks, it puts out about 500HP and 900 Torque when the Power PDA is cranked up to max setting (SL). I have never dynoed it, but it is very fast and I will have to take Bank's word for it. However, for best fuel mileage, I keep it tuned down to the Power PDA setting of 4 and it gets low to mid 20 - 25 MPG if driven nice.
The KluneV underdrive gives it an amazingly low, low-range if engaged. It acts as a 4 to 1 splitter and if engaged in 4 Low, the vehicle has an aggregated low range of 16 to 1 from the transmission and top speed is about 8MPH. If engaged in high-range, it acts as a 2 low, which is actually why I installed it in the first place. The automatic transmission models do not have a 2 low; so I added one.
I originally had problems with the automatic transmission, in fact I blew up 2 stock ones because of towing after installing the Banks kit. So, I added in an ATS heavy duty transmission and was done. It is solid at this point. The transmission is rated for over 2000 pounds of torque.

Chrysler extending production of current Dodge Avenger, Jeep Wrangler, Grand Caravan
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Are you hesitant to pull the trigger on a brand new Dodge Avenger in hopes that a new one will be coming? Well, don't hold your breath. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler will be extending production of the current Avenger sedan through the end of 2015.
Originally, we heard that the company would kill the Avenger to better focus its midsize sedan efforts on the Chrysler 200 replacement. But then new reports stated there would indeed be an Avenger successor, and that we could see it as early as next January. This Detroit News report cites supplier sources confirming the extension of Avenger production, though Chrysler has not released an official statement on the matter.
These same suppliers say that the current Jeep Wrangler will live on through mid-2018 - that's right, another five years. The Detroit News reports that a replacement for the iconic, go-anywhere Jeep was due in mid-2016.
Detroit Auto Show prankster 'damages' hundreds of thousands of dollars of cars
Thu, Jan 29 2015Obtaining credentials for an auto show is generally a pretty selective process, especially at one of the world's premier shows, like Geneva, Los Angeles or Detroit. That didn't stop online prankster Dennis Roady from getting credentialed for the 2015 North American International Auto Show on behalf of a Russian YouTube channel to cover the show. While he wasn't brought on strictly to cause mischief, Roady couldn't help but have some fun at the expense of the product specialists during the serious business of covering the show. He took to an app called "Dude, Your Car," which allows Apple iPhone users to take snaps of vehicles and then edit them to add some serious, but fake, dents and scratches. Naturally, the pranking session was caught on video, where you can enjoy the sight of poor product specialists freaking out over damage to vehicles ranging from the Mercedes-Maybach S600 to the Audi R8 and a lovely Dodge Challenger. Take a look. News Source: howtoPRANKitup via YouTube, The Detroit News Humor Detroit Auto Show Audi Dodge Mercedes-Benz Coupe Luxury Performance Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show prank
2015 Dodge Viper getting small increase in power
Tue, 29 Jul 2014The Viper is used to being the most powerful car in the Dodge and SRT stables, but the arrival of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat means that's no longer the case. The serpentine supercar is, however, reportedly getting a small boost in output for 2015, amounting to all of five horsepower.
The increase was uncovered by Road & Track courtesy of the SAE J1349 certification process to which Detroit's Big Three automakers submit themselves and which reports the Viper's output at 645 hp instead of the 640 it was rated at until now. There are a hundred factors that could have contributed to the relatively mild boost in output (best guess? nothing at all changed...), but we doubt anyone's going to complain about some extra horses under the hood.
The five-horsepower boost brings the Viper that much closer to the 650-hp Chevy Corvette Z06, not to mention the 707-hp Hellcat, but the Viper's impressive power-to-weight ratio ought to mean it'll have little problem keeping up in a straight line - which is just one of the reasons why Chrysler won't shoe-horn the Hellcat into the Viper: as R&T points out, the supercharged engine is too heavy and the blower makes it too tall to fit in the Viper's engine bay.
