1953 Dodge B-4JMA-161.  RARE!! The creme-de-la-creme of 1953 Dodge Trucks with every factory option and massive style!  The Dodge COE is the undisputed king of the road with many cool factory mods such as a 12" body lift and one-piece hood that is over 20" shorter than a standard hood.  This long-wheelbase model is PERFECT for a factory-original roll-back car hauler. 

For those who don't speak Dodge, the B-4 is the last year of the B series (1953).  "J" is the heaviest-duty COE rated at 2-1/2 tons.  With the optional heavy springs and frame plates, this truck is the strongest available.  "M" means COE cab with commanding view.  "A" means optional 2-Speed rear axle.  "161" is the wheelbase.  This truck has a 17,250 lb GVWR and can be driven with a regular drivers license. 

- Original 265 Industrial Chrysler Flathead starts and runs.  I put in a modern remote oil filter (factory remote filter housing comes with truck).

- Deluxe 5-Window COE Cab

- 5-Speed Synchromesh Transmission

- 2-Speed Vacuum-Shift Rear Axle

- Huge Factory Power Bakes

- Heavy Duty Optional Front Axle (5000 lbs)

- Heavy-Duty Optional Springs (fronts are 2200 lbs each, rears are a conservative 7500 lbs each)

- Heavy-Duty Factory Frame Reinforcement Plates

- Fulton Aluminum Sun Shield Visor

- Current Montana Title in my name!

This amazingly rare truck is a piece of metal art.  Ready for finish body work and paint or clear-coat and keep the bare metal hot-rod look.  Truck runs and drives but needs rear brake line.  Driveshaft hand-brake works excellent.  PLEASE SEE PICTURES for condition.  This truck is 61 years old and has the scars to prove it.  There are dents and dings and even a few rust spots.  Overall the metal is very rust free with the exception of a few isolated areas (rear cab line, spot on hood, and curved lower sill).  The fenders, floors, doors, and door jambs, cab mounts, etc. everything else is very solid.  Wiring needs some updating.  Seat is not original.  Rear tires are 9.00x20 military tires with good tread.  The fronts are 9.00x20 with some age checking, but hold air fine.  It comes with some spare parts not shown like the front "DODGE" chrome, and the front marker lights (one lens missing).  Also included are the factory "Mopar" big-daddy truck mirrors.  The lower skirting is missing.  I have another truck with the skirting.  It is mostly flat metal and would be easy to fabricate.  I can provide detailed pics if you want to re-create the factory skirts.  I broke my back and can no longer get up into this truck (it is REALLY tall!), so I must pass it along to a good home.

The original 1953 brochure with all the detailed specs can be seen at: http://dodge-semis.com/Brochures/1950s/1953FGHJK/

For those interested in such things, there is some speculation that the KMA model listed in the brochure (19,000 GVWR) did not actually exist except as a fully-optioned JMA.  This is that model.  If you look at the conventional cabs, the "K" had the dual carbs and dual exhaust for an extra 15 hp.  However, the COE's use an updraft carburetor.  It is highly unlikely they produced a dual updraft COE due to space constraints.  Thus the speculation that the KMA lives only in the brochure.  If you have or know of a KMA truck in existence, please correct me. 

Truck is sold as-is with no warranty.  This is a real auction and the winning bidder owns the truck.  Purchaser is responsible for shipping.  Deposit due within 48 hours, remainder due within 7 days.  No payment plans.  Truck ships from Stevensville, MT, 59870.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  Marcus at 406-360-8628

Thanks for checking out this neat old truck!  See my other auction for my neighbor's 1947 Ford Factory Dump in excellent condition.

Dodge Challenger SRT Demon TransBrake eliminates the need for brake torquing

Thu, Mar 23 2017

Performing the perfect launch is key to drag racing. In order to get consistent starts, the engineers behind the Dodge Demon developed TransBrake, a system that holds the output shaft of the automatic transmission to keep the vehicle stationary until launch. Rather than the traditional method of two-foot brake torquing, the system is triggered by pulling the shift paddle for quick and consistent launches. According to Dodge, the main benefit of TransBrake versus a two-foot setup is a quicker power delivery and higher engine launch torque potential. The system gives brake-free launches up to 2,350 RPM, a 105-percent increase in launch boost pressures, and a 120-percent increase in engine launch torque. Dodge also claims that using the paddle provides a 30-percent better reaction when compared to using your feet. In addition to shifting duties from your feet to your hands, the Demon's TransBrake will preload the driveline. Torque is loaded at the wheels, not the transmission. That means full torque delivery 150 milliseconds after the shift paddle is released. It should also help reduce the driveline shock that occurs when those 315 section rear tires get near-instant grip. The reveal is coming near.

2019 Dodge Charger SRT revealed in spy shots before reveal

Fri, Jun 8 2018

Last month, Dodge teased the updated 2019 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and its new grille with air intakes. Now we get to see it before its full debut thanks to these spy shots. We can see that the grille is one of the few things that has changed for the 2019 model year. It also appears to have a new hood that has extractor vents farther back than on the current model. We can also see that this new grille is on an SRT 392 Scat Pack model, not the Hellcat teased a month ago. This seems to imply the grille will be applied to all Charger SRT models, or at least offered as an option. Aside from the grille and the hood, the rest of this new Charger looks like the outgoing version. The bumpers, spoiler, side skirts and lights all seem to be carryover. As such, we're not expecting anything else to change radically under the hood or chassis. There's a possibility one or two engines pick up a few horsepower, but we don't expect much more than that. If anything else changes to the 2019 Charger, it will probably consist of colors, options and maybe even another trim level. We'll know more about it when it makes its official debut this summer. An updated version of the Challenger will be revealed at the same time. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.
