Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : edwinekkurek@ukhair.net .

Up for sale is my 2005 Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel street queen, never had a fifth wheel hook up or did any towing
except for the occasional utility trailer with a couple hundred pounds on it. It has 2007 front clip, the previous
owner liked the newer look better than the original 2005 headlights and front clip. Comes with painted to match
Leer Camper shell / Topper. The truck is currently in Illinois due to a recent move from NC. I bought this truck
in Florida where it lived its entire life, it has never seen snow or salt as you can tell by the under side photos.
This is not a show truck, it is a very dependable hard working truck that loves to be driven. I bought it with
97k miles on it in January of 2014. I have driven it from NC to the following places...all highway
miles...Oklahoma twice, New York twice and to Florida three times which is where the new 32k "ish" miles have come
from. I am a school trained diesel mechanic so i can ensure you this truck has been spoiled and loved on since I
have owned it. Below is a list of upgrades done to the truck since I have owned it.
- Banks intercooler and tubing
- Banks Air intake horn
- ATS two piece exhaust mainfold, with EGT probe
- 63mm phatshaft turbo upgrade
- BRAND NEW (not refurbished) Bosch fuel injectors with +50HP over stock
- Billet input and output shafts in transmission
- Bully dog GT tuner...never raced!! used for fuel economy with upgrades for highway driving
- Transmission was totally gutted and rebuilt with red disc clutch's
- Suncoast triple disc torque converter
- Has Chevy shift solenoids with the HD valve body
- ATS deep tranny pan with temp sensor
- 3 inch leveling kit (done right) with extended trailing arms, adjustable track bar, sway bar extensions, 3" drop
pitman arm, B&D steering stabilizer bar with dampener and bearing for steering box.
- Brand new steering gear box
- ALL new ball joints(top and bottom)
- Bilstein shocks in rear
THE BAD
- The paint is not 100%, passenger side bed side was just replaced with a brand new one and painted to match (hit
and run in parking lot). Would never tell by looking at it.
- Small rip on center counsel lid about an 1" long...dog did it last month with his nail
- 12v charger/plug doesn't work inside center counsel
- leaks a tiny tiny bit of oil from camshaft output seal on the top front of motor...has leaked since I have owned
it and it hasn't gotten worse (trust me I have been watching it)
There is nothing else wrong with the truck, I have nothing to hide...feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Cars.com runs 11-second quarter with Dodge Charger Hellcat

Mon, Jun 1 2015

The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and its Challenger sibling are two of the heroes of the modern performance world. With a headline-grabbing 707 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, their output even shames many supercars. But how quick can one really cover a quarter mile? Cars.com recently decided to find out by taking a Charger Hellcat to the drag strip to see if the sedan lived up to Dodge's 11-second claims. The results were quite impressive. After 13 quarter-mile runs of adjusting variables like the tire pressures and the car's various electronic aids, the Charger Hellcat managed a pass in 11.03 seconds at 126.61 mph – the pinnacle result of the day. This car was mechanically stock and wore the optional Pirelli P Zero tires. According to Cars.com, other quick sprints reached 11.09 seconds and 11.1 seconds, which even beat the site's 11.41-second best from a Challenger Hellcat last year. Getting the Hellcat's prodigious power down without losing traction was a challenge, even on the summer tires. Cars.com thought it had a run that could have dropped below 11 seconds, but then the wheels spun. Using the factory-recommended pressures, the Charger Hellcat was no still slouch with an 11.27-second time recorded, but taking things down to 25 psi proved the quickest at the strip. We already knew that the Charger Hellcat was a wonderful vehicle for eating up huge gulps of asphalt at high speeds and could verify its 204-mile-per-hour top speed (quite a bit faster, incidentally, than the Ferrari California T's 196 mph top-speed). Apparently, the 11-second quarter-mile claim is just as accurate. Also, for any curious owners, the Cars.com story divulges many of the tweaks required to reach this seriously quick time.

I sold my Viper, but the memories I'll keep

Thu, 30 May 2013

The following is written by auto industry veteran Tow Kowaleski. The words are his own, but the memories now belong to everyone thanks to his willingness to share. If you're an industry veteran with a story to share, contact us at tipsATautoblogDOTcom.
It became the flame that started the fire of belief in the next life of Chrysler.
I just sold a car. Nothing new. Millions do it every day. But my car was a 1995 Dodge Viper, so maybe it was a bit more unique since just 12,000 were built. And like others selling a car that's been a part of the family for close to 20 years, this was a confluence of emotions for me. I was sad to see it go, but happy to have the cash and one less big, shiny, under-utilized object in my life.

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures

Tue, Jun 23 2020

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski  Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.
