1975 Dodge Tradesman 200 3/4 ton Van converted to four wheel drive. Dodge 318 V8 engine and 727 transmission were rebuilt many years ago but have less than 15,000 miles on them. Starter, alternator, fuel pump, and water pump were replaced then and a new carb and distributor was installed some years ago. NP 203 transfer case is full time four wheel drive and has a lo range. Dodge 9 1/4 rear end and Dana 44 front end that has the large wheel bearings serviced last year and new drilled slotted rotors installed then. It has an aluminum radiator and the heater core has been replaced as well. BF Goodrich tires only have a few thousand miles on them and are like new. It has a full size spare mounted on the same modern Dodge wheels all around. Large bumpers, 2'' receiver, fog, driving, and new headlights round out the exterior. Has duel batteries, 10 gallon water tank, swamp cooler, 12v outlets, fluorescent lights, 4 pin trailer wiring, CD stereo, CB radio. Captains chairs and fold down rear seat. Seat belts only in front. Heater and all lights work. This thing came from Idaho I think and it has some rust. The 4x4 shop I got this thing from 20+ tears ago had replaced doors, part of the roof and who knows what. The foot well vents are rotted out and let a lot of air in. I just worked with what was left and it is coming back. The wind and running noise at freeway speed is pretty loud and the motor while it runs well enough doesn't have a lot of power. The speedometer reads 10 mph slower than actual speed and the mileage is also. I don't know what the actual miles are as it is now almost 40 years old. Smog is not required in CA for this vehicle. Smoke free. I have been moving this past year and have been driving 208 miles round trip with it and not had any trouble. This thing is tall and don't think it will ship on most carriers. If you are interested then ask questions.

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...

Chrysler extends fuel tank warranties on LX cars, NHTSA ends probe

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

The 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.

Big rig gets blown over on Wyoming freeway, flattens police cruiser

Sun, Feb 12 2017

A big rig navigating a stretch of windy Wyoming highway last week was blown over by high winds and landed on a Wyoming Highway Patrol cruiser. According to CBS News, three Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers responded to an accident along Interstate 80 near Elk Mountain on February 7. While the troopers were out of their cars assisting the crash victims, a white Volvo semi-truck lumbered up I-80 toward them. Wind gusts in that part of Wyoming were clocked in at up to 90 miles per hour on Tuesday, and one of them caught the semi as it neared the parked cruisers. Video from one of the cruiser's onboard cameras showed the big rig drift to the right as a big gust hit the trailer. Slowly, the whole rig tipped over and flattened one of the parked cruisers. The truck then slid a few feet on its side and came to a stop just aft of the cruiser. None of the troopers were injured in the incident, and two people in the truck came out of it unhurt as well. Patrol Lieutenant David Wagener told KGWN that that stretch of I-80 was closed on Tuesday to lightweight, high-profile vehicles. The truck driver was cited for the incident. High winds are no joke, and vehicles getting blown around or even clean off the road is a pretty common phenomenon. Way back in 2011, a truck got blown over in Utah. Then there was a train that got blown off a bridge in Louisiana in 2015.
