I am selling my 2011 Dodge 5500 Crew Cab SLT in Great Condition LOW reserve, of $27,500
Had a utility service bed on it, didn't see much towing, has been well cared for and it shows throughout
It has 118k miles, and runs like a champ

Engine is clean, tight, no smoke, starts right up in cold weather, no leaks, recent oil change and service, nothing to report with the engine

Transmission is tight, functions as it should, shifts well, has the tap-shift on the gear selector so you can choose which gear you want when towing or using the factory exhaust brake

All driveline gear is in great condition with newer tires, new shocks, etc. There are no loose joints, odd clunks in the front-end, it really drives great, you can tell its a 5500 with no weight on the bed, so the ride is firm in the back, but when going over bumps the front-end feels just like it should, drives straight, doesn't pull etc. 

The bed has been removed and is ready for whatever you want to put on it, the wiring for rear lights and trailer are nice bundled up ready for you to work with, the 2 rear taillights as needed wired in, the old bed was bolted on so there is no odd cuts or welds on the frame. 

The fuel tank is huge, not sure how big but I just went 700 miles on 1 tank

Exterior condition is great with a ranchhand grill guard, as you can see in the pictures there is no speakable damage, dents, or scratches, there may be a minor scratch or 2 but I don't know of them, the paint is shiny and looks great, the undercarriage is in good shape, no leaks so its not all grimy underneath and not rusted out, just looks as it should. 

The interior is in great shape as well, with the exception of the drivers seat tear on the side that you can see in the pictures and a minor stain on the drivers seat itself, maybe it would come out with a detail but its there and should be disclosed. Other than that there are no major problems spots, naturally it has been used so its not brand spanking new but its dang close. It is not the base model truck so it has carpet with extra sound dampening, built in trailer brake controller,  power windows, locks, drivers seat, etc. Remote keyless entry, Uconnect bluetooth speakerphone, cd player, Sirius Sat. radio, 110v power outlet, 4 normally cigarette outlets,  tinted windows, etc. 

Overall its a very clean truck that will impress, it runs great, functions, great, not a whole lot of bad to say about it. I am able to take more pictures, but its snowy, but overall the pictures won't show much more than you need to know, its a clean truck. 

The only issue other than whats stated above is on my last trip (700 miles) a notification on the dash came on that said "Service DEF System" thats the Diesel Exhaust Fluid, so I stopped into the dealer, he hooked up his laptop and said there were some codes all relating to the DEF system but nothing that was conclusive, he didn't see a specific problem, and he doesn't know why the message came on, he topped off the DEF fluid, He said he's seen that message come on the the fluid gets real low, other than that he said maybe its because its freezing, although the computer should know better, (it was around 2 degrees that day). All in all he didn't know why it came on so he reset the computer. I have done some research and I too haven't found any conclusive info, I did learn a lot. The fluid is injected into the exhaust pipe about halfway back and is used to aide in the clean burning of the exhaust, it is not cycled through the engine so I feel good about that, its literally a supplement system that if you choose to do so can be disabled, delete, whatever. I have also learned that most failures are the pumps, which after checking into, a new one from the dealer is somewhat pricey, but a working one on ebay is a couple hundred bucks and takes about 20 minutes to swap over since theres not a bed on it access is great. 

So take that as you will, again I want full disclosure, the message came on and thats about it. Maybe it will for you maybe it won't regardless it doesn't seem like a problem that effects the engine or reliability. 

I will be available until the 9th for the auction to end and truck to be picked up, otherwise I will be unavailable until the 19th. so if you buy it, plan on flying out in the next day or so to drive it home, or your going to have to wait

you can call or text me at 970-672-6396 for questions, specifics, pricing, etc. 

I have only sold 2 vehicles on ebay and have not had any problems when the buyer sees the vehicle I try to be descriptive and have the vehicle ready to go, I would not sell something I wouldn't trust myself as I know you are most likely coming from out of state and need something reliable.

11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.

2015 Dodge Charger priced from $27,995, Hellcat from $63,995*

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Ladies and gentlemen, let's get the most salient bit of information out of the way right off the bat: $63,995*. That's the amount of money Dodge dealers will be asking for (at the very least, naturally) for a 2015 Charger Hellcat (*plus $995 for destination on all pricing figures). That rather reasonable sum will bring home its buyer a 6.2-liter Hemi V8 engine boasting a supercharger to post such gaudy figures as 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, leading to a top speed of 204 miles per hour to go along with an NHRA-certified quarter-mile time of 11.0 seconds.
With that out of the way, the rest of the 2015 Dodge Charger pricing information breaks down as follows: $27,995 will deliver a sedan with a 292-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Moving up one step of the ladder nets the buyer an SXT model with the same engine, but a nicer chunk of technology and optional equipment for a $2,000 premium. All-wheel drive adds another $3,000. Hemi V8-powered R/T models now boast an eight-speed transmission bolted to the same well-loved 370-horsepower engine as before, for a base price of $32,995.
The SRT 392 model that had hitherto been the top-performing Charger brings with it an asking price of $47,385 while bargain hunters can equip a Charger R/T Scat Pack machine with that same 485-horsepower 6.4-liter Hemi, albeit with somewhat less posh interior bits and pieces, the removal of the 392's adjustable suspension and hi-po wheel and tire package for $39,995.

Auto Mergers and Acquisitions: Suicide or salvation?

Tue, Sep 8 2015

We love the Moses figure. A savior riding in from stage right with the ideas, the smarts, and the scrappiness to put things right. Alan Mullaly. Carroll Shelby. Lee Iacocca. Andrew Carnegie. Steve Jobs. Elon Musk. Bart Simpson. Sergio Marchionne does not likely view himself with Moses-like optics, but the CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recently gave a remarkable, perhaps prophetic interview with Automotive News about his interest and the inevitability of merging with a potential automotive partner like General Motors. Marchionne has been overtly public about his notion that GM must merge with FCA. For a bit of context, GM sold 9.9 million vehicles in 2014, posting $2.8 billion in net income, while FCA sold 4.75 million units and earned $2.4 billion in net income, painting a very rosy FCA earnings-to-sales picture. But that's not the entire picture. Most people in the auto industry still remember the trainwreck that was the DaimlerChrysler "merger" written in what turned out to be sand in 1998. It proved to be a master class in how not to fuse two companies, two cultures, two continents, and two management teams. Oh, it worked for the two individuals at both helms pre-merger. They got silly rich. And the industry itself was in a misty romance at the time with mergers and acquisitions. BMW bought Rolls-Royce. Volkswagen Group bought Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini, putting all three brands into their rightful place in both products and positioning. No marriages there, so no false pretense. Finally, Nissan and Renault got married in 1999. A successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust. But a successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust, the principle part being honesty. Daimler and Chrysler lied to each other. The heads of each unit, the product planners, and finance all presented their then-current and long-range forecasts to each other with less-than-forthright accuracy. Daimler was the far greater equal and no one from the Chrysler side enjoyed that. The cultures were entirely different, too, and little was done to bridge that gap. Which brings me back to the present overtures by Marchionne to GM. "There are varying degrees of hugs," Marchionne stated in the Automotive News piece. "I can hug you nicely, I can hug you tightly, I can hug you like a bear, I can really hug you." Seriously?
