1995 Dodge Ram 3500 Turbo Diesel frame off restomod show go and tow, legendary Cummins 12 valve engine, a heavy duty (15 ton GVW) 9 Speed Eaton Fuller RoadRanger transmission which allows smooth shifts with little RPM drop between gears, 22.5 Alcoa Aluminuim Semi wheels with new 255/70 22.5 tires, 5200lb air bag helpers, 2 gal 12v air supply, marine air horns and 6" chrome stacks.
We started with a completely stock rust free truck then took it down to the bare frame and built it up with the modifications to get everything fitting then took it back down, stripped it to bare metal then sprayed the frame, suspension and underside with satin black industrial enamel then stripped the body panels to bare metal and layed on 4 coats of acrylic urethane red and 4 coats of acrylic urethane clear coat then it got color sanded and buffed to the brilliant shine you see. We built the engine with a complete engine rebuild kit then sprayed it and the tranny the same color as the truck. It is bored 40 over, has a rebuilt injection pump, new lift pump, rebuilt 215hp injectors with new nozzles (from a 97 truck), new oil pump, rebuilt head. The transmission has been fully disassembled and inspected and is like new as with the rear axle. It has all new front end parts including upper and lower ball joints, tie rod ends, idle arm, pitman arm, rotors, brake pads, rebuilt calipers and steering gear box.
We dropped one leaf spring on the rear to give it a somewhat smoother ride then added Dominator 5200lb air bag helpers mounted with extra heavy duty weld on mounts and heavy duty traction bars to keep the rear end from twisting from all the torque the engine and 9 speed make. Complete tow package includes 2" receiver and goose neck ball with electrical connector at the receiver and in the bed for a gooseneck and a digital trailer brake controller. The connectors are 7 pin spade type. The bed was sprayed with bed coating and got a thick rubber mat with a diamond plate design.
Extra power and cooler EGT's is generated with 215hp injectors, a K&N Cold Air Intake and a 4" inch downpipe into 6" Stacks. The injector pump has been turned up a little and it has a boost elbow set at 28 lbs boost. The pump and the boost can be turned up more or decreased by the turn of a few screws. The turbo housing and intercooler tubes are powder coated red and we added new performance boots.
The interior was completely gutted and rebuilt with a new OEM dash and black leather seats with red double stitch, new carpet and headliner. While we where in there we disassembled the AC/Heat cavity and cleaned the AC evaporater core and heater core. The AC also got a new condensor and filter dryer... blows ice cold like it should. It has a Alpine stereo/cd/usb with the stock six speaker system which works and sounds great. I just load up a usb drive and plug it in. It's a Laramie model truck with power windows and we added fold out power tow mirrors. The seat was power but we swapped that for a manual seat for reliability.
The 2gal air supply is a Viar 12v 140psi unit mounted in the bed that supplies air for the transmission, air horns and rear air bags. A double needle gauge at the dash monitors system air pressure as well as air bag pressure. We have an on/off switch for the compressor and an up/down swtich for the rear bags. The compressor has an automatic cutoff switch that we changed to a 110psi for added compressor life. We also added a quick connector air supply.
We added 2 new 31 series commercial batteries and moved them to the bed of the truck. Custom metal covers where made for the batteries and air compressor. It has Isspro gauges, Pyrometer, Fuel Pressure and Boost all on the pillar pod with it's own dimmer switch for the gauge back lights.
Now for the fine print:
This truck is 99% complete and ready to show, go and tow. Drive it anywhere. It runs great, the transmission shifts great, it has lots of power, it's very comfortable, the air works great and the stereo sounds great, it looks great as you can see. However, there are a few things that could be done to make it better. The fog lights, driver auto door lock and the cruise don't work. The tires are brand new and will probably last like, forever, but they're not premium tires and do not have a great ride. A set of premium tires would greatly improve the ride and drive of this truck. This truck is half pickup and half big rig and it rides and drives somewhere between a big rig and a pickup. If your interested in this truck because you want a great driving smooth ride then move on. On the other hand if your interested in towing around town or showing it off then go for it. The 9 speed RoadRanger does not have overdrive but the 37" tires somewhat makes up for it. The truck tops out at 78mph at 2800rpm's. This truck is something I dreamed about as a teenager and I did get it 99% done but health and financial issues are against me. Maybe your a dreamer and ready to finish what I started and by the way ... you can't tell it's not 100% percent by looking at it.
As of this writing it has less than 100 miles on it.
Purchased from an individual in the Baton Rouge area in 2011 in stock non running condition. Then we done the frame off restomod.
The high bidder is responsible for delivery. I will be glad to help the shipper get it loaded. Paypal payment of $500 due within 2 days and balance in cash within 7 days.
If your interested in bidding on this truck I urge you to come by and check it out in person. Call Robert at 601-620-3118.

2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Watchers 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.
Buyer says Dodge dealer gave him wrong Charger, failed to notice for 2 months
Wed, Dec 31 2014Mistakes happen, and they happen all the time. But when that mistake means a customer doesn't get what he or she paid for, something's gotta give. That's what one Dodge Charger buyer claims he is trying to sort out with his local dealership. Two months after taking delivery, the owner (going by the user name Dakrbouncer4689 on Reddit) says he got a call from his local Dodge dealership reporting a little problem. He had ordered and paid for the Charger SXT (pictured above on the dealer lot), but was given a Charger SE instead. The SE being the lower trim level, this presented one set of problems – namely a $2,000 discrepancy in equipment, like a five-speed automatic versus an eight-speed, a 4.3-inch infotainment display instead of 8.4, heated seats, leather steering wheel, premium audio, remote starter and so on. The second set of issues is that the VIN number on the paperwork (including the registration and insurance papers) of course doesn't match that of the car itself. The dealer, having obviously made a rather large mistake, apparently called the owner in to sort out the mess, but according to the customer's account, things didn't go as smoothly. Instead of immediately working to address the problem, the salesman kept the owner waiting, acted like it was no big deal, and offered only to swap the cars with no compensation for the trouble. Fortunately, the manager proved more sympathetic and apologetic, and offered the customer three options: he could swap the cars (re-doing the tinted windows on the SXT that the customer had done on the SE and throwing in leather seats for free), he could keep the SE (with the dealership handling the paperwork, throwing in the leather seats, adjusting the price and refunding an extra $400), or they could cancel everything, return the car and part company. As we go to press, the Charger owner had yet to make (or at least share) his decision. But while the principle of caveat emptor makes us wonder how he managed to take home a different car from the one he paid for, clearly the salesman and the dealership made a pretty large mistake by presenting him with the wrong set of keys and letting him off the lot without double checking it all.

Fiat Chrysler CEO says final merger talks with Peugeot going well
Thu, Jan 23 2020BRUSSELS — Fiat Chrysler's chief executive Michael Manley said on Wednesday that merger talks with Peugeot owner PSA to create the world's No. 4 carmaker are progressing well and he hopes to have a deal within 12-14 months. Speaking to Reuters on the sidelines of an industry meeting, he said he doesn't expect any major obstacles that could delay a final agreement. "Talks are progressing really well," Manley said about negotiations with the French carmaker ahead of a briefing by the European automotive association (ACEA), of which he is president. His comments come a month after the two carmakers agreed to a binding deal worth about $50 billion to combine forces in response to a slowdown in global demand and mounting costs of making cleaner vehicles amid tighter emissions regulations. Manley's timeline for completing the deal by early 2021 is in line with a forecast made by the companies in December. Fiat and Peugeot are now getting into the details of how the merger will work, including choosing which vehicle platforms — the technological underpinnings of a vehicle — will fit which products in a combined company. Because customers in different locations still prefer vastly different cars, there is room for multiple platforms in a combined group, Manley said. "That global platform is an elusive beast," he added. "This concept of a massive global platform in my mind is almost a myth, but that doesnÂ’t mean to say weÂ’re not going to recruit significant volume." Related Video:  Â
