1992 Dodge Stealth R/t Turbo Awd, No Reserve! (like Mitsubishi 3000gt Vr-4) on 2040-cars
Santa Ana, California, United States
|
For Sale, AS-IS.
I’m selling my 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo that I’ve owned
for the last 17 years. I’m a mechanical engineer so I’m going to tell you
everything I know about it – This car needs to go to the right kind of owner. Currently has starter relay issue requiring you to connect a jumper underhood to get it to start. Drives very well, and fast. Handles amazingly well: Intrax 1.75” lowering springs, KYB GR-2 Shocks, 3SX adjustable rear lower control arms. 19” x 9” Moda wheels –only a few years old Nice exterior/ paint. Almost always garaged. New transmission installed at about 80k miles New transfer case installed at about 105k miles (factory recall) Bridgestone Potenza RE091A Pole Position tires (50-75% of tread left) Same owner for last 17 years. I have all records on it since 61k miles. ALL RECORDS -- oil changes, every part changed, all gas fill-ups. I wrote everything down. Borla stainless steel exhaust and 3SX downpipe – new in 2011, has only about 6k miles on it Stock engine except for Intake / Exhaust – no problems smogging it, have C.A.R.B. sticker for K&N intake. It was just smogged last August, but I will get it smogged again for the next buyer. Awesome stereo – Top of the line Alpine and competition Blaupunkt amp, JBL 12” sub, Kenwood 6.5” front door speakers, Alpine tweeters, sound deadening throughout. Clutch was new at about 120k: South Bend TZ Clutch with Fidanza aluminum flywheel Engine oil has been Mobile One 10W30 since I purchased the car with 60k, and changed every 3000 miles. Maintenance followed by the book – owner is a mechanical engineer. HKS Boost gage – Although the car has never run higher than stock boost. MSD Coil wires ’97-98 3000GT hoop spoiler
The not so good: Has a slight stumble at 2000 rpm. I just had the ECU rebuilt by AVPros, and it
made no difference. You would have to know the car very well like I do to detect this... the engine pulls very strongly. Driver’s seat is worn through on side bolster. Custom leather seat skins for $300, and it
takes about 8 hours of labor to install – I can give you contact info for this. Passenger seat has some wear but is not torn at all.
Transmission has a bit of gear whine, and has for last 35k
miles or so since an end cap came off letting contaminants in. The transmission was flushed and sealed back
up at the time. Brakes pulsate lightly. I am including a turned set of used Stillen Cross-drilled rotors and new EBC Green Stuff brake pads, in case you want to have completely smooth braking. Especially in very humid or wet weather, there is a starter relay which sometimes refuses to fire. When this happens, you have to run a jumper wire under the hood to get it to start. Similar issue in humid weather: there is a relay for the ABS system which sometimes sticks on. I am including a used set of good replacement relays. When this happens you have to disconnect the battery. The left rear tire has a slow leak due to a bad leak repair/ patch. It needs air about once a month, and can’t be fixed without a new tire. The car is aligned, but it pulls slightly left all the time. If you rotate the tires, you can find a combination which does not do this… one of the tires has high conicity (it is cone-shaped). I rotate the tires to improve tire wear, but this is a side effect. The lowered suspension makes the conicity / pulling more apparent. Car was in a left door sideswipe back in 1999 or so while I owned it. The door was repaired then and is as good as new (the shop did a really great job or I'd have never kept the car this long). Clean title. It is not originally a California car -- has Federal spec emissions and went through some salty winters. The underhood appearance is a bit corroded, as are some of the chassis and underbody parts. There is a tiny patch of rust on the rear deck where the factory spoiler used to be. It looks great on the outside though, from about 10 feet. There are some scratches on the rear bumper, and a little bit on the right side. There are a few door dings. These are all the issues I know about. Any one of these issues you could leave alone and just drive like this, or try to improve. |

Common Dodge Ram 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado breakdowns
Wed, May 4 2016These two trucks are famous for their ability to get the job done. Still, even the toughest vehicle can have mechanical problems at some time. What if we match the Dodge Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado head to head? Let's find out more about common repairs for each model. Also, learn some tricks to pay for car repairs. Clunky Steering Both Dodge and the Chevy owners sometimes notice bumping and clunking when steering. This might be more noticeable when driving over bumps. The cause is usually different in each truck though. In the Dodge Ram, clunky steering is more likely due to a defective lower ball joint. Replacement costs around $300 - $400, parts and labor. Clunky Chevy Silverado steering is probably a steering rack failure. This problem appears more often in trucks with over 90,000 miles. Silverado steering rack repair will run you up to $1,000 or more. Starting Woes For the Chevy Silverado with over 130,000 miles, you might notice trouble starting. This problem may appear occasionally at first, but it typically gets worse. Excluding a weak battery, the culprit is usually the starter. Replacement will cost you around $330 - $500. Of the total cost, $90 is for labor only. Now the Dodge Ram might make a ticking sound when starting, especially on models with over 94,500 miles. The noise often disappears after the engine warms up. These symptoms may indicate a broken exhaust manifold. Repair costs range from $800 - $900. Burning Oil & Gas Gauge On The Blink Sometimes, the Dodge Ram burns oil much faster than normal. In models with over 125,000 miles, this often points towards a leaky intake manifold gasket. A knocking sound may also appear with acceleration along with possible engine misfire. The cost to repair is around $200 - $300. The Chevy Silverado has its own surprises, especially when you've filled the gas tank but the gauge still reads low. Or the needle fluctuates widely from low to full while driving. In trucks with over 120,000 miles, it's likely due to a faulty fuel sensor. You might need a full fuel pump replacement, which can cost you up to $820, parts and labor. Water Inside And Poor Heat The Ram 1500 rear window has been known to leak. You might notice the back seat and floor wet after a rainstorm. This is more common in trucks with over 65,000 miles. Resealing the Ram 1500 rear window costs around $150 - $250.
Dodge to reveal Hellcat-powered Challenger in Detroit?
Fri, 10 Jan 2014On top of all the other performance car debuts slated for next week's Detroit Auto Show, we might be able to add one more to the list - the new, supercharged Hellcat V8 from Chrysler. According to new reports, the rumored 640-horsepower mill is likely to cross the Motor City stage in the engine bay of a Dodge Challenger.
As AllPar points out, though, there may be more news than just the fire-breathing engine. While we've seen spy photos of the Hellcat testing under the hood of the current Challenger, there's a very fair chance that it won't arrive until the muscle car is refreshed later this year. The question now is whether that refresh will be shown off alongside the new engine in Detroit, or if it'll be saved, perhaps for the New York Auto Show.
Other details dug up by AllPar include potential transmissions for the supercharged engine - the Mopar-minded site is expecting an eight-speed automatic or a Tremec six-speed manual. Prices, meanwhile, could be in the same elevated range as the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, at $70,000 to $80,000.
Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
