Eureka Springs, Arkansas, United States

    2002 Dodge Dakota R/T SWB. 2 wheel drive, automatic transmission with 71,XXX miles. This is a super nice truck. It is a fast solid truck with many modifications. All done correctly. Unfortunately the truck has transmission issues at this time. I have a child in college and its more important to me to fund her needs than to try and fix this truck. I would rather just sell the truck than to let it sit untouched for who knows how long. I have NOT attempted to even diagnose the issues or take it to a shop. Please don't ask me to describe it anymore than this.....It has no reverse and will sort of drive going forward but has issues and seems to struggle shifting.  As soon as the problem started I parked it. This has been at least 2 months ago. I'm considering this a complete transmission failure. It has not been moved since. That's all I can tell you ......except to bring a trailer! 
    The exterior is near perfect. It has no dents or scratches. It is in very good condition for a 12 year old truck. It does have the usual "Dodge" clear coat peeling on the roof and the front quarters. The bed is in good condition with some scratching from the normal use. Bed cap on one side does have some paint peeling. The battery is located in the bed, all done correctly with a disconnect in the bumper. The windows are tinted. The wheels are factory 17" and shine like new. Tires are 255/50/17 BF Goodrich Scrochers up front and 275/50/17 Nitto's on the back. Lots of tread left. The truck has a 2/3 Hothkis lowering kit with traction bars. The interior is super clean. No rips or tears. The headliner is starting to come off a bit. Stereo is factory. The air is cold and the heat is hot. 
    The 360 motor is strong. It has ceramic coated headers, larger throttle body, 210X comp cam, M-1 Mopar intake, Mopar aluminum valve covers, K&N air filter. Exhaust is 2 1/2 dual with crossover and Dynomax muffler( 2 in and 2 out ). The truck sounds mean with a nice lope in the idle. I also have a hypretech programmer. The transmission has a transgo shift kit and stall.
    The truck will be sold AS IS with the transmission problems. I know what the truck is worth and will not give it away. If it does not sell, no big deal. Please only bid if you are serious and have the means to come get it. I  am located an hour outside of Bentonville/Fayetteville Arkansas. I will not deliver. Pickup within 10 days of the end of the auction. Cash only!

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.

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013

Sun, 15 Sep 2013

When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.

Hellcat no help to Fiat-Chrysler's bottom-of-the-pile mpg average

Wed, Oct 15 2014

What, you expected the "fastest muscle car ever" to help fleetwide fuel economy? Nope, don't think that's going to happen. That means Fiat Chrysler will likely to continue to languish at the bottom of the heap when it comes to fleetwide fuel economy among the largest automakers serving the US, especially as the automaker starts to sell its Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. A few hundred Fiat 500E electric vehicles aren't going to turn the trend around. See, Chrysler has once again finished at the bottom of the list when it came to fleetwide fuel economy among automakers for 2014 model-year vehicles, according to a preliminary study by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Chrysler and Fiat had an average of 21.1 miles per gallon. That substantially lagged the overall 24.2 mpg average, but it was an increase from the company's 20.9 mpg average last year and the 20.1 mpg average two years prior. For 2014, General Motors had the second-worst fleetwide fuel economy at an even 22 mpg. Fiat Chrysler does say it's working on improving its fuel economy, according to Automotive News. The company plans on making its inline-four-cylinder and V6 engines smaller, and will sell more vehicles with eight- and nine-speed transmissions. Heck, there's even a plug-in hybrid version of the Chrysler Town & Country minivan in the works for late 2015, and the company can tout fuel-efficiency gains with the Chrysler 200 and Jeep Cherokee. We would be remiss if we didn't note that, compared to its muscle-car forefathers, the Hellcat actually performs pretty well at the pump. Last month, word got out that the 2015 Challenger Hellcat, equipped either with a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission, got a combined fuel economy of 16 mpg. Heck, the automatic-tranny version got 22 mpg on the highway. And that's for a car with 707 horsepower and a 10-second quarter-mile time. Still, with the pedal floored, the car can burn a gallon and a half of fuel per minute. Ouch.
