Cummins HO Diesel 5.9L
4x4
Fully built custom Dodge Diesel, used as my daily driver and off road rig for the last 4 years. The modifications to this truck run in the $15,000 range. Considering a Ford Raptor? Take a look at this truck, more torque, more travel, trussed axel, it will take more punishment than the Ford. This was built for me to run expeditions and I have, including the entire Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route. If you are in need of a race chase truck this will serve you well, you can get through the woops, crawl up the hills, and then drive the freeway home. Look at the other 2500’s on Ebay they either have 150,000 miles on them or have a lift that is junk. Also I should point out that this truck has never towed anything! Talk about not taxing a diesel truck. Also no mudding so if you have to service anything no piles of old mud will fall in your face. I had jeeps back in the day and hated when I would have to do something and it was all caked in mud.
The truck has low miles and no mechanical issues. This means it has no leaks, of any kind, all the electronics work as they should. The AC blows cold and the heat blows hot. If you have any questions at all I encourage you to please contact me prior to the close of the auction. Both batteries were replaced within the last 12 months. At the same time the crossover cable that connects the two batteries was replaced. The only time this truck has ever let me down was when the fuel pump went out in 2007. This was a design failure from Dodge and it was replaced under warranty. The fuel pump is no longer mounted in the tank as they were on the 2004.5's it is now located in the same place as the 2005 version. Also it is worth pointing out this is a California truck meaning no salt from the roads so no rust in the truck.
The 6" lift clears 37" tires as you can see in the pictures with ease but is not circus tall. This makes it very drivable on road and off without feeling like you will flip the truck every time you take a corner. This truck has long travel deaver rear springs and progressive rate from springs. No blocks here with stock springs and a harsh ride. At the same time the steering is perfect. Please do your homework when looking at a lifted truck if they have just slammed some cheap lift on there and big tires you will most likely end up with death wobble. You can find this in jeeps and trucks and let me assure you that this truck does not. I know because I have upgraded every component that can cause it and made sure that issue is not going to happen here. I will be happy to go out and hit potholes with you in the truck to prove that it won't happen. I also can take the truck up past 100mph and show you that you can confidently drive it down the freeway at that speed.

The last time Dodge recycled the Demon name, it was for a Miata fighter
Fri, Jan 20 2017We and the rest of the automotive world are eagerly awaiting the reveal of the Dodge Challenger Demon. And why wouldn't we be? It's going to be a Hellcat, but with less weight, bigger fenders, more performance, and more Vin Diesel. This isn't the first time we've been excited about a Demon from Dodge, though. Ten years ago, Dodge had another demonic car, but it was very different from the new one. The Demon of 2007 was a lithe little roadster that looked primed and ready to take on the Miata, as well as the now-departed Solstice and Sky twins. The Demon was just under an inch shorter than the MX-5 and the Solstice, and it packed a 172 horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder that fell right between the Miata's 170 and the Solstice's 177 outputs. Dodge's estimated the curb weight, which for a concept is largely theoretical, also slotted between the two cars at 2600 pounds. That was about 150 more than the Mazda, and about 200 less than the Pontiac. The pitch perfect specifications were presented in a crisp two-seat roadster wrapper. In many ways, it looked like a baby Viper, with a menacing crosshair grille, slanted headlights, and fat rear fenders. The Demon's line's were brutally simple and geometric, too. They didn't seem far removed from the first-generation Audi TT. The interior was also plain and simple. The key highlights were a horizontal aluminum accent that ran the width of the dash, echoed by an aluminum-covered center console. The instrument cluster was uncluttered, with just four gauges, and the only controls were some climate knobs, a double-DIN head unit, and a six-speed manual. It turns out that the 2007 Demon didn't drive very well, though. You see, we actually drove this concept back in the day, and like many concepts, it still had a long way to go to be production ready. The gearbox would grind, the ride quality was terrible. However, the interior was roomy, and the engine sounded suitably grumbly, if a bit coarse. At the time, we said Dodge should absolutely build the little roadster. In retrospect, the company probably made the right decision not to invest in the Demon. The small rear drive sports car segment was, and still is, an extremely niche market. It would have been a big investment for little return, something FCA today is trying to avoid. This is all before taking into account the fact that the recession was just around the corner. In the end, we can't be too sad though.
Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials
Fri, Sep 11 2015Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:
Chrysler extends fuel tank warranties on LX cars, NHTSA ends probe
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ended its investigation of 153,817, 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter Hemi V8-powered 2006 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum models after reports of stalling. Chrysler has responded by granting a lifetime warranty on the fuel tanks for these vehicles.
NHTSA received 299 reports of engines stalling while the models were stopped or driving at low speeds, and began an investigation. The government agency found that the control valve shutoff float in the V8s' 19-gallon fuel tank could malfunction if the fuel had too high of an ethanol content. In many cases, the valve would break in the open position, allowing the tank to be overfilled, which would then cause the cars to stall. However, there were no accidents reported, and the vehicles could be restarted immediately.
There will not be a recall on these vehicles because, "the condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by Chrysler's extended warranty," NHTSA said to The Detroit News.
