Up for auction is a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 Extendedcab SLT 4x4. The truck has 158,000 miles which is just getting broke in forthese Cummins engines. The engine starts up and runs great, she has a lot ofpower. I bought this truck from a diesel mechanic and as a daily driver butdecided to start building it up. Just had my first son last week and realizedthe truck is not going to be practical without having a club cab hinse thereason for sale.
It has an HX 40 turbo with a bigger intake.
The fuel pump is turned up and fuel plate is shavedat #100 were it has the little sliver on the bottom with advanced timing. Yesit rolls the coal but gets decent fuel mileage if you’re easy on it.
It was an automatic and had the 5 speed conversionkit done right. I just put a new clutch in 2 months ago.
It has a full 5" MDRP all the way back with a4" downpipe from turbo.
It has a BD exhaust brake with the switch on thegear shift and works amazingly. Hardly ever haft to use your brakes with it on.
It has adjustistable rear suspension air bags and they work nice when hauling.
The carrier bearing started getting a lil loose so Ireplaced that 2 weeks ago.
New serpentine belt, water pump, front wheelbearings rotors shoes and pads all last summer.
It has a 4" lift kit with 36x12.5x16 MickeyThompson Baja Claws on it right now but I also have a set of 17" rims thatgo along with the truck(tires are shot).
The bed is rhino lined as well as the whole bottomof the truck.
As for interior it’s not the greatest due it beinga daily driver but it just needs cleaned up. The driver’s seat as a whole but thatabout it.
Boost pressure and exhaust temp gauges.
The truck has its little kinks but can be very verynice truck with little work.
It needs a fuel shutoff solenoid
The fuel gauge is off by a quarter and the Speedois off due to the bigger tires.
The 4x4 works awesome it just needs a new universalso the front driveshaft is in the bed at the moment. Hasn’t had the time to putit back in.
The door lock actuator went out on the driver’sside door and will need a new one.
The rust isn’t that bad for being a 97 but it coulduse some work such as both rocker panels and the driver’s side rear cabcorner(saw it was a lil rusty when I had it on the lift 2 months ago when I putthe clutch in)
The truck is quick, gets up and goes, and will pull anything, even with what work has beendone to it now. I know there is some things that I’m forgetting and I haven’thad it dynode yet but I’m guessing it’s around 450+ horse and you can see the gaugebuild 50 psi of boost with no problem when you want it to. She has a lot ofpotential just not right in my circumstances and I hate to get rid of it butfamily comes first. I’m selling the truck as is because of it being a 97.Thanks for looking and happy bidding.
I appoligize for the pictures and the confusion on the tires. The truck currently has the 36" micky T's on it with 16 in rims. It also comes with a set of 17" rims with smaller tires(as in most of the pictures) but the tires are shot. Thanks

Sunday Drive: Spying an automotive future of performance
Sun, May 13 2018I spy, with my little eye ... the future of the automotive world here in the United States. That pretty much sums up this week's Sunday Drive, in which we pull out the most popular stories on Autoblog of the previous week and try to draw some sort of conclusion as to what binds them all together. This week, it's spy shots, starting with one of the biggest and baddest muscle cars the world has ever seen: the Dodge Challenger Hellcat. The Hellish coupe gets a new hood for 2019 with dual scoops, but that's about the only meaningful change for the new model year. No matter. As long as it's packing 700-plus horsepower under those two hood scoops, all will be right with the world. Moving on, we take keep the performance angle but move it from the street to the dirt with a new version of the Chevy Colorado ZR2 that we think is probably called the Bison. We think it'll keep the high-tech suspension bits of the regular ZR2, but add expedition gear that may include a snorkel and a winch. Which, if true, is pretty dang cool. Keeping the truck theme is the 2019 GMC Sierra. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the trim level in which the truck was spied, and that's what makes this specific example interesting. Base-model trucks almost never get much attention, but they sell in droves to workers who need an honest-to-goodness truck for work or play and don't care about bells, whistles, or massive chrome badges. And finally we have the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, which is on fire on the sales floor right now. But those are all V6-powered Wranglers flying off the showroom floor. Soon, a turbocharged four-cylinder engine option will become available, and now we know that it will return up to 23 miles per gallon in the city and 25 on the highway. That makes it the most fuel efficient Wrangler that Jeep has ever sold. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the automotive news that's fit to publish. 2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat with twin-scoop hood spied with no camouflage Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison caught testing 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 spied in base trim level 2018 Jeep Wrangler four-cylinder fuel economy revealed Spy Photos Chevrolet Dodge GMC Jeep Truck Coupe SUV Off-Road Vehicles Performance dodge challenger srt hellcat sunday drive
FCA fibbed on sales according to internal report
Mon, Jul 25 2016Following last week's news that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is under investigation by the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission for allegedly fudging sales figures, a new report in Automotive News says an internal investigation at FCA uncovered misreported sales. According to the AN story, 5,000 to 6,000 vehicles from various FCA brands were reported sold by dealers, but no customers existed for those cars. FCA sales chief Reid Bigland has already put a stop to the practice. One potential reason for the practice was to maintain the company's month-to-month sales increase streak, currently at 75 months. In April, FCA added a lengthy disclaimer to its sales announcements: "FCA US reported vehicle sales represent sales of its vehicles to retail and fleet customers, as well as limited deliveries of vehicles to its officers, directors, employees and retirees. Sales from dealers to customers are reported to FCA US by dealers as sales are made on an ongoing basis through a new vehicle delivery reporting system that then compiles the reported data as of the end of each month. "Sales through dealers do not necessarily correspond to reported revenues, which are based on the sale and delivery of vehicles to the dealers. In certain limited circumstances where sales are made directly by FCA US, such sales are reported through its management reporting system." FCA did not provide comment to Automotive News.

Ward's announces 10 Best Engines 2015
Wed, Dec 10 2014Ward's Auto has named its 10 Best Engines for 2015, covering a range of powerplants from fuel-sippers to fire-breathers. As with past years, forced-induction reigns supreme, with seven of the ten engines featuring a turbo or supercharger. This year is slightly different, though, as two of the seven blown engines are turbocharged three-cylinder mills, from the Ford Fiesta and Mini Cooper. They're joined by the 2.0-liter turbo four from the Volvo S60, the 1.8-liter turbo four from the Volkswagen Jetta and the 2.0-liter boxer from the Subaru WRX. BMW and Chrysler were the only marques to be named to this year's list twice, with the electric motor from the i3 joining the Mini's three-pot, and the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 in the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee repping the diesel crowd, alongside a certain supercharged monster. Hyundai also took a prize with a zero-emissions powertrain, with the Tucson FCV's 100-kilowatt fuel cell making the list (apparently Ward's is quite generous with what it deems an "engine"). Rounding out the list are two Autoblog favorites, each displacing 6.2 liters, but producing their power very differently. On the one hand, Chevrolet's overhead-valve, 455-horsepower V8, found in the Corvette, makes its power the old fashioned way. And in the other corner, we have one of the most exciting engines of the year – the 707-hp, 6.2-liter, supercharged Hellcat V8, featured so prominently in the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat. "We spend a lot of time reading the powertrain tea leaves throughout the auto industry, and we're proud that this year's list is a microcosm of all the latest innovation coming from automakers," said Ward's Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter in a statement. "It's not just a list for enthusiasts or for environmentalists," he says. "There's something for every vehicle shopper and every budget. All the powertrains on this list deliver a first-rate driving experience," Winter added. Scroll down for the full list from Ward's, and let us know which engines you think belong and which should have been included in this year's rankings. Ward's 10 Best Engines of 2015 Announced by Penton's WardsAuto Honorees span most diverse and technically advanced engines in 21 years of recognized powertrain excellence SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton's Wards 10 Best Engines of 2015 have been announced.
