Minden, Nevada, United States
This truck is being sold AS IS and must be picked up in Minden, Nevada within 30 days of auction end. It runs and yard drives, but has not been on the road in many years and will need to be trailered. Please ask questions before bidding if I have left something out of my description. It needs total restoration of all components and is missing whatever is not shown. In the late 70s they sold a lot of Dodge's Adult Toys including this all black Warlock Power Wagon 4 speed. I purchased from the original owner (still in Reno) a few years ago. It had been neglected and parked since the 90s. With a battery, fresh gas, and a fuel pump and filter, it fired right up. It is a 318 with a factory 4 speed, and 9.25 rear with Sure Grip and 3.55 gears. It still retained an original Carburetor, alternator, radiator, (fuel pump) and some of the hoses including the bypass. A very original engine compartment. I also changed the oil prior to starting. It runs and drives, but should be completely gone thru before driving on the road. It needs and deserves a total restoration, Including the engine, which has low oil pressure, and a small coolant leak at the timing cover but no unusual noises. Miles are unknown, it shows 12K and is at least 112. The original owner did not have any additional info or documentation. The body has a lot of dents. See pictures, and note the damage to the tailgate, driver's side cab, door, fenders, bumpers, chrome step grill etc. It still has it's original cert label showing a very late build of July 1978 and door vin tag. This is one of the last of the 78 Warlocks. Also note the placement of the Power Wagon hood emblems. Pushed back, and typical of the Late 78 utilines. You are looking at all original paint/stripes and the gold primer coming thru. The interior still has it's original black buckets, Tuff Wheel w/ 4x4 only adapter, and even original carpet, (cut to expose floors). The cab is as solid as they come with nothing but original black paint in the floor pans. The windshield and passenger side glass are damaged, originally factory tint. The truck still has it's four original 15/8 chrome slot wheels (same as lil red) and the original plastic center caps. It is missing the spare and the wood racks.. The frame is dry and straight with only the usual surface rust (even in the desert). The bed wood and strips are gone, replaced by plywood. The tires are ancient but hold air.

Chrysler recalling 278,222 trucks and SUVs over bad rear axles
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road.
This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut.
Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.
Ram, Jeep redesigns on hold, Alfa Romeo models may come sooner
Wed, Jun 3 2015Last summer, FCA outlined an ambitious five-year plan that sketched out the company's product intentions for each of its brands through the end of 2018. However, even the best strategies sometimes need tweaking. According to Reuters after speaking with unnamed people at auto suppliers, FCA is now possibly delaying at least a dozen projects in North America for a variety of reasons. From vehicle to vehicle, these postponements allegedly last anywhere from just a few months to over a year. The sources from the suppliers claim that in some cases these tweaks are for engineering and design changes. The next-gen Ram 1500 reportedly has among the shorter delays and is being pushed from mid-2017 to November 2017, according to Reuters. Also, the much-discussed future Jeep Wrangler is allegedly moving a little later to July 2017. Among the vehicles purportedly seeing longer delays, the next-gen Grand Cherokee could get pushed back about a year to 2018. That then forces the launch of the three-row, luxury Grand Wagoneer to be even further away. Jeep's upcoming C-segment CUV and the all-new Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Challenger might also see postponements. The one brand allegedly seeing an accelerated plan is Alfa Romeo. Without going into detail, the sources from these suppliers claim that the Italian automaker is getting even more vehicles for its lineup and could get them even faster than planned. "Those plans need to be flexible and fluid, with the potential to add some vehicles, pull some forward and extend the life cycle of others," FCA said to Reuters about all of these allegations. "We look at these programs on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis." Investment in the auto industry has been a major topic for FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne as of late. He believes consolidation is necessary so that companies aren't burning money on the same projects.

Dodge recalls 27k Darts for bracket that can disrupt transmission module
Thu, Sep 17 2015Dodge is recalling 27,520 examples of the 2013-2015 Dart with dual-clutch gearboxes. The mounting bracket for the transmission control module can affect the part's operation and cause the compacts to suddenly shift into neutral. According to the automaker, 23,688 of them are in the US, 3,376 in Canada, 5 in Mexico, and 451 elsewhere. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports these examples carry build dates between February 24, 2012, and June 16, 2015. There are also no reports of accidents or injuries. Because of the way the bracket is mounted, the part can put too much force on the control module's circuit board and cause it to shift out of gear. The engine and airbags remain operable if this happens. To fix things, dealers will install a redesigned mount and replacement module. Related Video: Statement: Mounting Bracket September 14, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is recalling an estimated 23,688 cars in the U.S. to replace certain control modules and mounting brackets that may contribute to a loss of motive power. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. An FCA US investigation prompted by a small number of warranty claims discovered a control-module mounting bracket may apply too much force and disrupt the function of a circuit board within the module. This condition, unique to certain cars equipped with dual dry-clutch transmissions (DDCT), may cause the transmission to shift into neutral. However, the engine remains on and the vehicle's air-bags, as well as other safety features, are unaffected. The condition may also be preceded by the illumination of a dashboard warning light. Customers who observe this are urged to contact their dealers. The campaign is limited to certain 2013-2015 Dodge Darts equipped with DDCTs. Additional vehicles will be recalled in Canada (3,376), Mexico (five) and outside the NAFTA region (451). Affected customers will be advised when they may schedule service, which will be performed free of charge. Service will entail installation of a redesigned mounting bracket and replacement of the control module. Customers with additional questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.
