5.9L Magnum V8 engine
4-speed automatic trans. with 3.92 axle ratio
Limited-slip differential
Power windows/locks/mirrors
Cruse Conrol
Tilt steering wheel
CD deck with 2 10" subwoofers under the rear fold-down seat. This baby bumps hard with absolutely no rattle.

Fresh oil change

Vehicle has plasti dip matte white wrap. Truck was originally black so the door jambs/sills etc are still black.

I wrapped my Dodge Intrepid 2 years ago and it has never been garaged and is hardly washed because it is just my beater car  and it still looks great. This material seems impervious to winter/salt/gravel and is rated to withstand temps from -60 to over 300 degrees. I'm actually wrapping my Dodge Ram and SRT-8 Charger (there's a reason my ebay name is MoparMan) in the next few weeks.

Goodies:
Performance Headers
Programmer Chip
Dual Exhaust (sounds f'n awesome)
K&N cold air intake
Upgraded/Rebuilt trans w/shift kit
New trans pan and shaft output gaskets along with all new trans fluids.
New Belts
New plugs/wires
New interior carpet (Black)
Painted headliner, interior panels (Blacked out interior)
New headlights
New Grille
New Battery (2 weeks old)
275/55/17 Dunlop rear tires (staggered)
Bedliner
Wrapped in matte white
I also have a fiberglass tonneau cover with rear wing/spoiler available (not pictured as I still have to wrap it)


Has 'Manufacture Buyback' title

If you know anything about the history of these Dakota's, you may know that Chrysler 'misprinted' the advertised R/T's towing capability when this line was released. Dodge stated it had a 6,400lb towing capacity when in reality its about 2000lbs. This lead to a lawsuits against DaimlerChrysler AG which ultimately lead to a "manufacture buyback" for disgruntled customers. This is one of those buybacks. Title in hand.

Runs great, sounds great, turns heads!

Purchased in Ohio and I drove it all the way to SD. I'd take it cross country right now if need be.

Only selling because I'm getting married in May and need some honeymoon cash.

Has about 1.5 inches of 'play' in the steering.

Spedometer doesnt work between 0-50, but works from 50mph+ From what i've read, its a very common problem with the Dakotas.

Chrysler recalling 780k minivans over fire risk

Fri, 09 May 2014

Chrysler is recalling 780,000 of its Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2010 to 2014 model years due to the possibility of circuits overheating, which can lead to a fire. Of the 780,000 total vans being recalled, Chrysler estimates that 644,850 are in the US, 106,980 are in Canada, 8,009 are in Mexico, and 20,638 are in other markets. All of the affected vehicles were built between August 25, 2010 and October 31, 2013.
Chrysler's engineers discovered that beverage spills or exposure to moisture (from rain, snow, car washes, and the like) were linked to circuits shorting in the window switch assembly. Short circuits can overheat, and thus, cause a fire.
Chrysler will contact owners and let them know when they may schedule service, at which point, the window switches will be replaced. In the interim, the automaker says that owners may visit their dealers after May 14 to have the switches disconnected.

Dodge Viper GTS-R goes back to old-school livery

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

The Dodge Viper may have been around now for over 20 years, but as far as racing achievements go, 2000 was its finest season. That's when it won the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the GTS class trophy at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and its second consecutive title in the American Le Mans Series.
Since then, SRT Motorsports hasn't quite had the same success, withdrawing from Le Mans this year and shedding the Dodge name and its emblematic red and white livery for the SRT badge and a silver snakeskin theme. But now that the Viper is back under the Dodge banner, so too is the racing team returning to its classic livery.
Starting from the six-hour race at Watkins Glen next week, both the No. 91 and No. 93 Viper GTS-Rs will wear the red base color with twin white racing stripes that its more accomplished forebears wore on circuits around the world. And with it, maybe the Viper will return once again to the winner's circle at home and abroad.

MotorWeek remembers a better time for Mitsubishi performance

Fri, Feb 26 2016

Dodge still knows how to create an capable performance car – look at the Hellcats, for example – but the same isn't true for Mitsubishi. With the Lancer Evo's demise, we don't expect driving enthusiasts to clamor for any of the Japanese automaker's other products. Things used to be different, though. As MotorWeek found in its new Retro Review, the 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 and its sibling, the Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo, were impressive sports coupes in their day. Dodge and Mitsubishi packed a bevy of cutting-edge tech into the coupes. In these trims, both sported all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, an adjustable suspension, active exhaust, and automatic climate control. The 3000GT VR4 upped the ante even more with active aero parts at the front and rear. Their 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 was good for 300 horsepower and 307 pound-feet, which were good numbers at the time. This pair put all their gizmos to good use, too. MotorWeek compares the all-wheel-drive system's grip levels to a Porsche 911 Carrera 4. When was the last time you heard any favorable similarity between a Mitsubishi and a Porsche? The Stealth R/T Turbo and 3000GT VR4 came from a special time for Japanese sports coupes, when every brand had a halo model. Whether you were looking at Nissan 300ZX, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra, or even the Acura NSX, there was a lot to like on the market. MotorWeek's latest Retro Review offers a great reminder of that period.
