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.

South Dakota dealer filled to brim with classic cars

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

Other than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Mount Rushmore, South Dakota isn't generally a hot topic, but that just means that cool stuff can hide in the open waiting to be discovered. Case in point: the classic car dealer Frankman Motor Company that operates three locations in Sioux Falls, SD.
Unearthed by the folks at Bring a Trailer, Frankman is a treasure trove of vintage, American iron. Their collection is full of the type of vehicles your irresponsible but cool uncle would show up with when you were a kid. Even better, these cars are priced at a level a working man can afford.
If you are lusting about a cruiser then Frankman has a 1956 Cadillac Deville Hard Top Sedan (pictured right) with 82,896 miles for $12,975. It's painted a color called Cascade Grey, but looks more like a pastel purple in pictures. While it needs some repairs to the accessories, the Caddy runs and drives, which is all you really need.

Chrysler Recalling 700k Vehicles For Ignition Switch Woes

Tue, Jul 1 2014

General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey. According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags. There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date." To fix the problem, Chrysler will install a new detent ring in the vehicles. It will begin contacting owners soon, and obviously the repair will be free of charge. This isn't the first time this problem has cropped up in these models. Chrysler issued a recall for 248,437 vehicles in 2011 for certain 2010 model year examples. A few weeks ago, NHTSA also began investigating the 2008-2010 model years of the affected models for ignition switch problems. At this time, it's not clear whether that evaluation and this campaign are linked. Chrysler told Autoblog that it has no reports of injuries related to the problem. Scroll down to read the company's statement and the NHTSA recall report. Statement: Expansion of Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) safety recall July 1, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Out of an abundance of caution, Chrysler Group is expanding a previous safety recall to install a more robust WIN module detent ring. A previous recall in 2010 included 196,000 Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Dodge Journey vehicles built August 2, 2009 through June 17, 2010. The expansion includes an additional 695,957 vehicles manufactured January 29, 2007 through August 1, 2009.
