Up for Sale is a 1993 Dodge Diesel with an Allison 545 Transmission.

The truck runs and drives good and I have owned it since 2008. I have been using it to haul my 12ft trailer with 2 lawn mowers for my lawncare business. The original transmission went out in 2011 and I parked it for about a year while I converted it from the crappy dodge tranny to a bulletproof Allison. I mounted an Allison 545 Transmission and in the process I put in a new starter, and serviced the rear end. I had also put a new Alternator and new brakes a few months before the transmission went out.

The Engine has about 360,000 miles but the odometer/speedometer has not worked since I put in the Allison so it currently reads 343,XXX. I normally use a GPS speedometer app on my phone to keep track of speed when going down the highway. I also need to mention that highway driving on this truck is currently not the best because the allison in it is a 4 speed with out overdrive and so I ussually cruise between 55-60mph. I have an overdrive unit that I wanted to put on the truck but it is missing a yoke and I the local transmission shop could not find a yoke for it. (The overdrive unit is 33% previous owner said it was on his motorhome C6 available for $400. Just recover my investment.)

Engine starts and runs well even in cold weather. There is a video of me starting the car in 28 degree weather and that is what you can expect when its cold and not plugged in. The video does not show it but that exhaust has a break somewhere before it comes out. I change the oil every 3,000 Miles but I ussually have to add a quart between oil changes. I believe that it is mostly due to an oil leak because I have noticed drops of oil on the garage floor. I also believe that it only leaks when its running.

After I spent an year converting the truck, I found that the heater blower only works on low now which is not enough heat during the cold months. Before this, the heater blower worked on all speeds but the slider between the hott and the cold side has always been stuck on the red. Truck has never had AC and so that was never an issue because I could simply turn the blower off during the summer months.

The last thing that I can think of is the fact that there is sometimes a click noise that seems to come when turning. I took the truck to a body shop and spent about $1200 on new front end parts that included new ball joints and tie rod ends, alignment and balancing but that did not fix the click noise. Its there but the mechanics could not find anything wrong in the suspension.

The truck has an alpine cd player and amplifier for entertainment.

Below is a link to see truck running. Unfortunately, the truck had ran about 3 hours ealier so this is not a pure cold start. The cold starts ussually take about 3-5 seconds of cranking. When its warm it fires up right away like a cummins.

Dodge recalls 2011-2016 Charger to give owners wheel chocks

Wed, Feb 3 2016

A bizarre new recall gives wheel chocks to Dodge Charger owners so that people remain safe while changing the sedan's wheels. The campaign covers 441,578 examples of the 2011-2016 Charger in the US; plus 19,229 in Canada; 4,969 in Mexico, and 38,947 outside the NAFTA region. According to Dodge's announcement, owners should use the chocks to stabilize the Charger when using a jack to change the wheels, like in the case of a flat tire. Without them it's possible for the sedan to fall off the jack. The company is aware of three minor hand injuries from this problem. Dodge will notify owners by mail when they can pick up the free wheel chocks. FCA US spokesperson Eric Mayne offered Autoblog a more detailed explanation about this recall. "The body structure of this vehicle is unique. If owner's manual instructions are not followed, slippage may occur. Chocks are being provided to help ensure the instructions are followed," he said. "We are continually analyzing warranty data to identify ways to improve the ownership experience. When tire-jack data was reviewed, we identified a need to further assist our customers." Statement: Wheel Chocks February 3, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is conducting a voluntary safety recall to supply wheel chocks for an estimated 441,578 full-size sedans in the U.S. The chocks are for use, as instructed in the vehicle's owner's manual, when employing a tire jack to change wheels. When positioned diagonally opposite to the wheel being changed, the chocks will help stabilize the vehicle. Failure to follow the manual's instructions with an affected vehicle may cause the vehicle to come off the tire jack. FCA US is aware of three related injuries – all minor. The recall is limited to 2011-2016 Dodge Chargers. Also affected by the campaign are an estimated 19,229 cars in Canada; 4,969 in Mexico and 38,947 outside the NAFTA region. Recall notices will advise affected customers when they may obtain their wheel chocks, which will be supplied free of charge. Customers with questions or concerns may call the FCA US Customer Care Center at 1-800-853-1403.
