1996 Dodge Ram 3500

 

These trucks are getting harder and harder to find, especially with all the options this one has to offer. You are looking at a 1996 Dodge Ram 3500 with the legendary 12 valve 5.9L Cummins diesel motor. To back up the powerhouse, this truck has the highly sought after 5 speed manual transmission. It does not get any better than this. This truck is a long bed dually and it is a pulling machine. You will find these trucks everywhere that have been run the life out of, but not this one. This is basically a mechanically bone stock 12 valve. The only thing I have modified is the looks of the truck. I use the truck for hauling, and it does what I expect it to do and beyond. I wanted a great looking truck that I could get in and drive across country if needed, and this is the truck.

 

Below is a list of what makes this truck:

-         VIN: 1B7MC36C5TS586974

-         12 Valve 5.9L Cummins Diesel

-         New 5 speed manual transmission (less than 10,000 miles)

-         New Factory replacement clutch (less than 10,000 miles)

-         New brakes (rotors and pads)

-         New ball joints

-         New idler arm

-         New belt

-         New pitman arm

-         New steering stabilizer

-         New Valvoline synthetic fluids bumper to bumper

-         In-bed gooseneck ball hitch

-         Plastic bed liner

-         Cold AC

-         RECON LED Cab clearance lights

-         RECON LED Fender marker lights

-         RECON LED 3rd brake light

-         Black housing LED trail lights

-         Black housing head lights (with bright blue bulbs)

-         New Michelin tires (less than 1,000 miles)

-         New Rockstar dually wheels (less than 1,000 miles)

-         Lowered 2” in the front and 6” in the rear (all leafs are still present)

-         New white paint job (grille and bumper painted to match)

-         5% tint with 35% on windshield

-         Straight piped exhaust with 4” MBRP tip

-         New In-Dash 7” flip-up TV/DVD/MPS/Ipod/Sirus

-         CLEAN AND CLEAR TITLE IN HAND

-         CARFAX INCLUDED

The BAD:

-         245,XXX miles.

-         Leaks oil (if a 12 valve does not leak oil, then the motor is dry)

-         Driver’s side window switches short every now and then. Windows roll up and down just fine.

-         Paint is not a $10,000 paint job. However, it does look good.

-         Interior does not look as good as the exterior.

-         Heater core is by-passed (probably a bad heater core).

-         Parking brake does not work.

-         Trailer wiring is not in place.

-         Dash is cracked and drivers seat is torn.

 

I’m sure I am forgetting a few things. As you can tell, I have invested thousands into this truck in order to make it the perfect road hauling machine. It looks slick as could be driving down the road with or without a trailer, and that is exactly what I wanted. This truck does have 245,XXX miles and yes, it does leak oil; it is a 12 valve Cummins. It does not pour oil but it certainly marks its spot when you let it sit overnight. I would not be afraid to jump in this truck today and drive it across the country.

 

This is NOT a show truck. It is a truck that is made to work but still look good while doing so. This is my 5th Cummins, and every one I have owned has had over 300,000 miles. How long these motors last depends on how well they are maintained. This one will last 500,000 miles without a doubt.

Performance doesn't matter anymore, it's all about the feel

Wed, Aug 24 2022

We've just had a week of supercars and high-end EVs revealed. Many of them boast outrageous performance specs. There were multiple vehicles with horsepower in the four-figure range, and not just sports cars, but SUVs with 0-60 mph times under 3.5 seconds. And it's not just a rarified set of supercar builders, comparatively small tuners are also building this stuff. Going fast is easy nowadays and getting easier. So what will distinguish the greats from the wannabes? It's all about how a car feels. This may seem obvious. "Of course it matters that a car should have good steering feel and a playful chassis!" you say. "Why are you being paid for this stuff?" But a lot of automakers have missed the memo. This past week I spent some time in a BMW M4 Competition convertible, and it's a perfect example of prioritizing performance over experience. It boggles my mind how a company can create such dead and disconnected steering; the weight never changes, there's no feel whatsoever. The chassis is inflappable, but to a fault, because it doesn't feel like anything you're doing is difficult or exciting. The car is astoundingly fast and capable, but it feels less like driving a car and more like tapping in a heading on the Enterprise-D. I also happened to drive something of comparable performance that was much more enjoyable: a Mercedes-AMG GT. It was a basic model with the Stealth Edition blackout package, and even though it had a twin-turbo V8 instead of a six-cylinder, it only made 20 more horsepower. The power wasn't the big differentiator, it was (say it with me) the feel. While not the best example, the steering builds resistance as you dial in lock, giving you a better idea of what's happening up front. Pulses and vibrations come back to you as you move over bumpy pavement in corners. The chassis isn't quite as buttoned down, either, providing a little bit of body roll that tells you you're pushing it. It's also easier to feel when the car is wanting to understeer or oversteer, and how your throttle and steering inputs are affecting it. The whole thing is much more involving, exciting and fun. 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Stealth Edition View 8 Photos That's also to say nothing of the Merc's sounds. That V8 is maybe not the best sounding engine, but its urgent churn through the opened-up exhaust gets your heart racing. It also seems like it's vibrating the whole cabin, so you feel it as much as you hear it.

Dongfeng and PSA extend Chinese joint venture

Thu, Dec 19 2019

BEIJING/PARIS — China's Dongfeng and Peugeot maker PSA are extending their business cooperation, despite the Chinese company reducing its stake in PSA to help smooth the French carmaker's merger with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). Dongfeng said on Thursday it had agreed with PSA to extend the duration of their joint venture Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobiles (DPCA). Under the deal, the venture could get the rights to PSA's new brands in China and will benefit from new technologies and intellectual properties, the Chinese company said. PSA was not immediately available for comment. The announcement comes a day after the companies said Dongfeng would reduce its 12.2% stake in PSA by selling 30.7 million shares to the French company. Analysts said the move could smooth U.S. regulatory approval for PSA's roughly $50 billion (GBP38.97 billion) merger with Italian-American carmaker FCA. The sale of Dongfeng's shares in PSA, worth around 680 million euros ($757 million), will leave the Chinese group holding around 4.5% of the merged PSA-FCA, which is set to become the world's fourth-biggest carmaker by sales volumes. "As the cooperation between Dongfeng and PSA deepens, we expect the joint venture to continue making good progress in China," a Dongfeng representative said. On a conference call, Dongfeng said DPCA would have exclusive rights to PSA's Opel cars should the partners agree to bring the brand to China, and enjoy lower prices on car parts imported from PSA. Earlier this year, a document seen by Reuters showed Dongfeng and PSA plan to cut jobs at Wuhan-based DPCA and reduce its number of car plants to try to make the venture more profitable.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
