1990 Dodge Ram W250 Cummins Diesel 4x4 - 5 Speed Manual

(VIN1B7KM2682LS677937).

This vehicle is an early 1990 NON-INTERCOOLED 12-valve Cummins and sits basically stock, as it came from factory with the big 9mm injecotrs . This version is the simplest and most reliable – no overdrive issues, no throttle position sensor and no unreliable computers for charging etc. Still has an external voltage regulator and all it needs is fuel, air and 12 volts and it runs. The design and gear ratios of the early non I/C trucks permit great fuel economy (17-20 mpg) and good highway gears, so you can drive this truck on the interstate.

End of Manufacturer Sourced Specs.

This 12-Valve Cummins is considered one of the best cummins and also considered bulletproof by many; first generation non intercooler engine. It carries great oil pressure cold with full EGR Valve Gauges etc. Transfer case and all 4x4 work very well. As stated, the Killer Dowel Pin (KDP) Tab has already been done! Transmission has fresh oil and shifts smooth and correctly. Steering feels like new… it is very tight as is entire front end. New ball joints and front suspension parts. (play is what I would very minimal for one of these trucks (ALMOST NONE)). It has good wheel alignment and it does not pull left or right; drives straight down the road. It is practically smoke free, even at idle when cold.

Oil (Rotella Diesel) was changed about 800 miles ago and it is still on the “full” mark and clean. Rear main and front seals are fine. There are no leaks in the transmission, transfer case or differentials. The springs on this truck are good and have a good arch (see truck side photos). Sits level side to side. Shocks are older but still good. Front brakes have good pad left. Good solid brakes. It’s been very reliable. It has a new 3” exhaust that sounds great. The undercarriage of the truck is clean in a way only a very salt-free truck. She spent most of her life on a southern Virginia farm.

Body

As stated, practically zero undercarriage rust and just a little by top back fenders. It looks great in pictures and very good “in person”. Shes has some front hood paint spray as she was repainted a few years back and the paint job was quite good, but maybe 7.5/10 at best, in my opinion. No body work was done. The truck has solid sheet metal. Fenderwells and rocker panels are a main concern on these early cummins 12-valve trucks. This trucks are amazingly clean and BASICALLY NO RUST AT ALL.

Other than front areas as discussed, there is no peeling. When you see it in person you will see imperfection in the paint and I am reiterating this because it does look good in the pictures. You have to get within 3-5 feet of it to see it. I guess it depends how picky you are. I have gotten pickier as I get older and I can barely stand anything that's not new but you can't get a new one.

But.....the paint is still above average. Anyone who knows about these trucks knows they had a problem with roof rust, especially around the rain gutter. This has a small area! AGAIN, IT IS VERY SOLID BUT NOT PERFECT. I also pulled the tail lights out to check inside the bed for rust under the fender flares – again there is none. No hitch or 5^th wheel was in it. The bed of the truck is scratched up a bit, from years to and from the hardware store, etc, but rust free. The door insulation on the cab is in decent shape…the hard rubber strips that sit at the base of the side windows are all theres; they are somewhat a brittle and cracking a bit but still functional / good. The vent windows operate very tight and have ZERO wind whistle. The windshield is in very good condition. All of the rest of the glass is OEM “Safeguard” and in good condition. The door hinges are in good condition and the doors open and close ok.

Interior

It is in quite good stock condition. Headliner is excellent. Door panels excellent. No cracks or sun damage to dash. The seat shows quality and care of interior as it had only very minor wear and small quarter-size tear on the cording on the driver’s side. It is a non-smoker truck and has no cigarette burns or odor. The driver sun visor still holds original transfer case schematics. The visors are in like-new shape and stay right up against the headliner. There is no sun fade because it was garaged most of it whole life.

Electrical/HVAC

Very original electrical system. Fuse box still sits in factory clip in the lower dash. All exterior lights high/low beams work. Dome light works, through the switch and when doors are opened. Manual windows and locks work. Horn works like new. Turn signals and flashers work. Horn works. (Recent Virginia State Safety Inspection Passed). Heater works. Blower works on all speeds. Gas gauge is accurate. Wipers and washer work.

All in all it is a good solid truck. The reserve is reasonable. I have a free and clear title in my name. Feel free to check carfax and autocheck. Money needed for downpayment on new house purchase otherwise never sell this early cummins! If you would like to setup an appointment to see it in person you can. Wire transfer or cashier’s check, but truck and title stay with me until it clears.

FCA inline-six rumored to be real, headed for Jeep Wagoneer

Thu, Dec 20 2018

In September, Allpar reported that that clues being dropped at Fiat- Chrysler headquarters, in the carmaker's factories, and on engineer resumes pointed to the development of an inline six-cylinder engine. The site has just proclaimed the rumor is reality, writing that the straight-six, "turbocharged to meet or beat 5.7 Hemi power ratings, with a smoother torque curve, is on the way." The motor's first outing is expected to be either the next-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, debuting perhaps next year, or the Jeep Wagoneer, debuting in 2020 or 2021. "Tornado" is the purported codename for the power plant said to be just under three liters in displacement, expanding the family begun with the Global Medium Engine 2.0-liter turbo codenamed Hurricane. Engine bay constraints and a long use horizon mean engineers won't simply add two more cylinders to the GME, however. Allpar says the brief is to keep the Tornado GME-T6 — the alphanumeric for "turbocharged six" Â— no more than three inches longer than the Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder. That means "major design changes" that could include a space-saving head, more closely spaced cylinders, and no cylinder liners. An FCA division called Comau could be called on for its "SmartSpray" plasma lining technology. Allpar muses that the standard version of the engine for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram could get a single twin-scroll turbocharger. Performance trims for Alfa Romeo and Maserati could get different heads and maybe twin turbos, an SRT version might also get both those tweaks. History shows that the Italian versions would make changes to the block, as well. Even so, the Tornado would be less expensive than any Ferrari-supplied V6. A straight-six would put FCA in company with current adopters BMW and Mercedes-Benz, future users like Jaguar, and perhaps Aston Martin. The engine would span the widest range of use cases in the U.S. carmaker's portfolio, though. Potential applications include being a base engine for Ram trucks, serving double duty as a base engine and 5.7-liter Hemi replacement for the Dodge Charger and Challenger, working in the high-end Jeeps, and as a properly hot trim Â— with Ferrari-designed heads Â— in the luxury Italian sports cars. The Alfa Romeo Giulia begs for just such motivation to fill the gap between the 280-hp, $42,695 Ti Sport RWD and the 505-hp, $73,700 Giulia Quadrifoglio RWD. And a twin-turbo inline-six in a Maserati Alfieri would stack up nicely with the Germans.

NHTSA is investigating FCA shifters for roll-away accidents again, this time the rotary units

Tue, Dec 20 2016

It seems FCA's shifter troubles aren't over yet. Now, just a few months after issuing a recall to resolve user-related issues with its monostable shifters, the company is again under investigation by NHTSA. The issue is related to the potential for cars to roll away when the rotary-style shifter is not properly placed in park. Two FCA models are the subject of this investigation: the 2013–2016 Ram 1500 and the 2014Â–2016 Dodge Durango. NHTSA estimates about 1,000,000 vehicles would be affected if a recall is issued. The investigation was started following 43 complaints of vehicles rolling away while supposedly being in "park." Among the complaints were reports of 25 crashes and 9 injuries. NHTSA does point out that in every incident, the parking brake was not engaged. A representative from FCA also gave us an official statement regarding the investigation: "FCA US is cooperating fully with NHTSA's investigation, the scope of which is limited. Other vehicles equipped with rotary shifters are not included. In accordance with prudent practice, the Company joins NHTSA in urging all drivers to use their vehicles' parking brakes." View 35 Photos As mentioned above, other Chrysler products with rotary shifters, such as the Pacifica minivan and 200 sedan, are not involved in this investigation. One of the key differences, as the representative told us, is that these vehicles have electronic parking brakes that automatically engage if the driver does not select park and then opens the door with the seatbelt unbuckled. The Ram 1500 and Durango feature mechanical, manually operated parking brakes and therefore cannot activate the brake automatically. Because this is currently an investigation, an exact cause for the incidents has yet to be determined, and none of the vehicles have been recalled. It's possible there could be a mechanical defect. However, the issue could be a confusing interface causing user error, as was the case with FCA's monostable shifters, where drivers think they've put the car in park but actually haven't. Something that indicates it could be a case of confused users is that NHTSA also opened an investigation into 2012Â–2014 Jaguar XF and Land Rover Range Rover Evoques for similar issues. Both vehicles use a rotary shifter and have had roll-away complaints levied as well. Even if it is a case of user error, FCA and Jaguar Land Rover may still have to recall their vehicles.

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.
