I am selling my 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 SLT Diesel Pickup. I bought this truck new and am the only owner, so I know the entire history. If you have any questions, just ask. Here are the basics:

Year 2004 
Single wheel 3500 (looks like 2500)
248,000 miles. Daily driver, so will have around 249,000 by the time the auction is over.
2wd
4 door
Black 
Automatic transmission rebuilt at 234,000
3:73 rear end 
5.9L HO Cummins engine
2-5/16 5th wheel ball
Spray in bed liner
6 way plug for trailer lights
New Michelin tires ($1000) - less than 5,000 miles
non-smoker
Great mileage. 18+ mpg to and from work. 21+ on highway.

Here are the negatives: Truck has a dent under the left rear tail light from jack-knifing a trailer. Cruise control works on flat ground, but kicks out on hills and won't come back on until the truck is restarted. I think it is not holding a vacuum, but I haven't been able to track down the leak. The driver side visor won't stay all the way up. The vents make noise on the passenger side floorboard when turning the heater on. 

Positives: I have never had any major mechanical trouble with the truck at all. No injector issues, oil leaks, computer issues, etc. It has been very dependable. I would not hesitate to drive it cross country. Oil has been changed every 5,000 miles. I have done maintenance myself on brakes, rotors, shocks, belts, etc. on an as needed basis. The interior is very clean compared to most of the Dodge interiors I have seen from this generation. The seat is not torn from getting in and out, no cracks on the dash, and the armrest doesn't have a hole in it. 

And the best part of all is that the truck is converted to run on diesel or veggie oil with a system that I bought from Golden Fuel Systems. The system was installed at 117,000 miles. I have an auxiliary fuel tank that is about 60 gallons to hold the oil. There is a heat exchanger in the tank plumbed to the water pump that circulates antifreeze to warm up the oil. Once it's up to operating temperature, flip the switch and burn straight vegetable oil. The system includes a Racor filter, auxiliary fuel pump, auxiliary fuel gauge, and fuel pressure gauge to monitor when the filters need to be changed. When I first converted I had trouble with the stock fuel lift pump, so it now has a heavy duty FASS pump. I will include the collection pump and storage barrels with the sale and if you are local I can try to hook you up with the place where I currently get my oil from. The system has worked great for me and I estimate I have saved over $10k in fuel costs using it. 

I am only selling because I will be moving to snow country soon and will need a 4 wheel drive. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 225-two 7 eight - one 2 three 2.

1 Of 1 Dodge Viper looks a fabulous mess in Chicago

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Earlier this year, we told you about the new Dodge Viper 1 Of 1 program, which offers buyers the chance to customize their supercars to the tune of some 25 million different combinations. With 8,000 paint colors, 24,000 hand-painted stripe patterns, 10 wheel options, and 16 interior trims to choose from, you'd be right to think that the possibilities for personalization are endless, and can probably get a little weird. That's kind of what's going on here in Chicago, with a Viper showcar that's definitely... unique. It doesn't really look bad, necessarily. It's just kind of strange. We call this color job, "Oh no, there are tiny paint cans falling from the sky, but I simply can't stop driving 200 miles per hour." And when it came time to spec wheels, it looks like FCA US said, "Aw heck, let's just use all of 'em." You'll definitely want to take a look at this unique creation, in the gallery above. And be sure to let us know if you think this Viper is hot or not, in Comments. Related Video:

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Man hits 153 mph on I-75 in Dodge Magnum

Tue, May 19 2015

A man driving in Michigan took his 2005 Dodge Magnum practically to the limit in the wee hours of the morning on May 19 when the Michigan State Police caught him on radar going 153 miles per hour on Interstate 75 near Detroit. The 21-year-old driver was spotted around 3:00 AM, according to The Detroit News. Michigan State Police First Lieutenant Michael Shaw told Autoblog that officers initially saw the man on radar doing 79 mph in a 70-mph-zone, and they started following him. He eventually clocked 153 mph. However, First Lt. Shaw was clear that there was never a pursuit. "Speeding isn't necessarily a reason to put the public at risk," he said. The situation ended rather abruptly, though. The driver pulled off the interstate and behind a building. He remained in the vehicle, and police arrived and arrested him. According to First Lt. Shaw, the man was driving home from work and alcohol wasn't a factor. The Magnum has been impounded, and the driver was charged with reckless driving. Unfortunately, First Lt. Shaw said that he didn't know what engine was in the wagon, but as enthusiasts, we're curious. After all, the 2005 Magnum RT was governed to 130 mph and the SRT8 wasn't unleashed until 2006, which means either the wagon must've been derestricted to hit such high speeds or that police have the year wrong. We'll let you know if we figure that one out...
