This is "The" original Dodge Cummins pickup. It is the very first year, and a very rare single rear wheel D350 (1 Ton) 2WD pickup. I have yet to see another D350 like it on the road. This truck is bone stock and original in nearly all areas. It even has the original Chrysler premium sound system option with cassette player along with the original owner manuals. The truck was repainted about 8 years ago in urethane, and looks very good as you can see. There are many blemishes on this truck as it has been well used over the years. I have had it for most of it's life, and I love this old girl. The original 12 Valve non intercooled diesel is in it, and all that has been done is the water pump, and the injector pump has been stepped up a bit. This thing has some serious power. The manual 5 speed shifts excellent, and the clutch was replaced around 180,000 miles. It has a Dana 70 rear end with 354 gears. I recently changed the carrier bearings. The suspension is pretty much original except for shocks, and brakes. The front rotors have always chattered under heavy braking, and I could never figure out how to get rid of it. The AC works good, and it is the original R12 system never had issues other than adding some every few years. The tires are like new all around and very good quality heavy truck tires. I towed a camper trailer with a 5th wheel hitch. It is fully functional with the plug and trailer brake control. The hitch is the old style non rocker as you can see, but it tows like a dream and gets 15 MPG with the camper on it. This truck gets phenominal mileage. I have a 2005 cummins with a 24V motor, and it eats way more diesel than this old girl. She has clear title, and has had no accidents. There is a heavy Draw tite bumper hitch receiver as well with the 4 prong trailer plug. This is a longbed pickup with a bed liner. The 5th wheel hitch is bolted down through cut outs in the liner. There is no rust anywhere I have seen in this truck. It is a California/Oregon truck as far as I know. It has a slider rear window that works, but the lock is broken. The seat has a hole where the driver sits. The rear main seal drips a little oil on the garage floor. I have always garaged this truck, although the rubber seals for the driver and passenger windows are cracked and dried out. All the glass is good with no cracks. The front bumper has a crease in it where I hooked a stump in revers and pulled it back slightly. It still look fine, but a new bumper would look pretty. The grille is excellent in all respects except for a could little dings and scrapes in the metal stripping. There is a silver dollar size dent near the passenger side read wheel well that is barely visible. There are some scratches I noted in the photos the best I could, but they could easily be touched up. All the hardware works for the doors and windows. Everything is manual crank old school which I always liked. The driver door hinge is pretty tired, but still closes well after all these miles. The tailgate is absolutely beautiful. The outside latch has been partially disable so I reach in the bed to drop the tailgate. The rear bumper is very nice chromed diamond plate factory. The drive shaft with carrier was freshened up with all OEM parts at 200K miles. The truck drives very well overall. I has a little vibration at highway speed, but mostly due to the big original steel wheels. The engine starts right up every time.I put a factory new OEM starter in it a year ago. When it is cold it puffs a little blue for a minute then it is all black from there. Remember it has alot of miles, but there is another 300K in this truck. You will never kill this engine. It is impossible. Ask questions if I missed anything.

Ford leads top searched-for car brands on Google in 2014
Mon, Dec 22 2014With less than two weeks until 2014 takes its final bow, anyone and everyone is looking back on the past 50 or so weeks to see how they stacked up. For search giant Google, that means its time to check out its annual Trends report. Besides the most popular search term (the late, great Robin Williams), the most searched for gadget (the iPhone 6) and most searched for disease symptoms (quite worryingly, Ebola took the crown here), we have the most searched for automaker. With the long-awaited sixth-generation of one of America's most iconic vehicles, the Mustang, and a ground-breaking update for the US market's perennial best seller, the F-Series, it should come as no surprise at all that Ford was Google's most searched for automaker in 2014. Jeep captured second place, while Dodge, took third. We suspect introducing a pair of cars with 707 horsepower had something to do with that bronze medal... Scroll down to see the rest of this year's most searched for automakers, and then head into Comments and let us know if you're surprised by any of these. This content is hosted by a third party.

Dodge idles Viper production again at Conner Avenue
Mon, 07 Jul 2014You've got to hand it to Dodge for having the gumption to put the original Viper into production in the first place. It was, after all, much more of an emotional decision than a practical one, and a move which saw the first production V10 engine placed in a road car - long before the advent of the Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi R8, Porsche Carrera GT or Lexus LFA, not to mention the other Ford, BMW and Volkswagen Group models that used such engines.
It's now been 22 years since the first Viper entered production and the Viper still rolls on several generations later, but we're sad to say that courageous decision has not always been met with overwhelming sales success. In fact parent Chrysler was forced to idle the Conner Avenue plant where the Viper is made back in April due to slow sales. And while production resumed again as planned on June 23, it apparently didn't do the trick.
As a result, Chrysler corporate communications chief Shawn Morgan revealed to Autoblog that the assembly line has been shut down again for another two weeks. The line was up and running for nearly two full work weeks from June 23 until the holiday weekend that started on Thursday, July 3. But instead of coming back online today as planned, it's been idled again for the weeks of July 7 and 14. That means it will be July 21, at the earliest, before the serpentine supercars start slithering down the assembly line at Conner Avenue again. Once it does, however, production is set to resume at the same pace it was before the shutdown.
Recharge Wrap-up: LA Auto Show may feature updated Cadillac ELR, Uber expands Chicago HQ
Tue, Sep 30 2014A Kentucky man has converted his 1939 Dodge pickup to an electric vehicle. Al Gajda of Lexington built the electric truck, which he now uses as his daily driver. "I take advantage of any excuse to drive it; just banging around town, errands, short runs on the interstate, delivering my granddaughter to school in the morning," he says. It is powered by a lithium-ion phosphate battery, which is mounted in a wooden box on the truck bed, and gets about 100 miles per charge. Read more at the Lexington Herald-Leader. Elon Musk will speak at the Automotive News World Congress in January. The Tesla CEO is a featured speaker for the program, "Setting the Pace in a Thriving Market."

Production of the Toyota Rav4 EV has ended. The shipment of the final Toyota EVs concludes Toyota's deal to source batteries from Tesla. Of the 2,600 Rav4 EVs to be produced, there are probably just a few hundred left to be sold, most of which are likely to be gone by the end of October. Read more at Inside EVs. Cadillac will likely show an improved version of the ELR at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. The 2016 ELR will include unspecified "engineering enhancements," according to Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell. There will be no 2015 model, as the 2014 model will be sold until the 2016 ELR goes on sale in the first half 2015. Read more at Edmunds. Uber executives, along with Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, have announced a major expansion of the ride-hailing company's Chicago headquarters. Uber also plans to add 420 jobs by the end of 2016. "Uber's new expanded headquarters will allow the company to continue its rapid growth and serve its riders and drivers throughout Illinois," says Governor Quinn.
