1990 Dodge Ram W-150 4 X 4 Standard Cab Pickup 2nd Owner on 2040-cars
Roanoke, Virginia, United States
1990 Dodge W-150 Power Ram
My late husband bought this truck from the original owner in 1994 and it has served us well for 20 years. We have hauled all sorts of cars, parts, and household items over the years with no trouble. Running gear The 318 V8 is strong and starts and runs every time. It has always had the oil changed with Rotella diesel oil. The oil has been changed in the past year. I will provide you with the remaining case of oil filters and 1 jug of Rotella for future changes. It is just barely starting to smoke on start up. It shifts perfectly and the 4WD shifts in and out easily. It has the optional OD button for disengaging the OD when climbing a steep hill or under load. The ring and pinion were replaced in the early 2000's when the original one locked up. It is the ONLY time the truck has ever failed us. The mileage on the truck is showing 177,000 as listed. The speedometer works perfectly, but the trip odometer stopped working about a year before he died and after he died the odometer stopped working. There is not much more than this on it as I have only driven it around town and in the last two years have only driven it about once a month for exercise purposes. The master cylinder and rear brakes were completely replaced last year. The emergency brake cable was also replaced as it appeared rusty. Body The truck was heavily undercoated when he got it from one of the name brand rustproof companies in business. That and the fact that it has always had a camper shell on it has protected it well all these years. It has started to show some rust starting. The driver's side rocker panel is the most obvious. I have priced one locally at less than $50. The floor was getting a little weak around the driver side seat mount so I had someone replace the floor with galvanized metal all over just to be sure it was all sound. I have not yet sprayed undercoating under it or anything inside the cab to cover it. There are very small spot starting to appear at the corners of the doors, but I believe they could be stopped now. The truck was always taken care of and kept washed and waxed. It was repainted in the late 1990's when it received a new bed, bed liner, camper shell, and outside lighted moonvisor (since stolen) after a hit and run driver hit the rear wheel and bed of the truck in the middle of the night. Over the last year before my husband's death and recently it did not receive it's normal polishing and is starting to show a little wear from that. I used the truck a lot after his death to move and consolidate and got it in some tight spots which I'm embarrassed to say caused some scratches along the side and a couple of dents which have been mostly pulled out. I have tried to show these details in the photos. I removed the camper shell for the first time ever to haul some mulch and items that needed loaded without a shell. The camper shell is one of the extended height shells that you can pretty much stand up in the back. All the fiberglass is good as are the windows. The screens could use replaced. The rear window broke off the hinges around 2000 and we used it with a stick before removing it. We bought a piano hinge to remount it, but never did. Everything comes with it and it will be mounted on the truck when you pick it up. The bedliner started getting caught in the tailgate section and has a warp as you see in the photos. It's only at the end and I've been told it could be heated and returned to its original shape. The front of the bed where it meets the cab has a slight bow after I was hauling some heavy engines and one slid forward when I had to hit the brakes due to an idiot driver. The weight pushed the front of the bed towards the cab. I haven't had it pulled back, but am confident that it can be done. The rear window is a sliding window and the camper shell also has a sliding window that matches up with it. A NOS grille also comes with the truck. It doesn't need a grille, but this was an extra part he had. It has aluminum diamond plate running boards that I believe are anchor brand. Tires and Wheels The tires are almost new. We bought 6 matching tires before he died. You will get the 2 extra tires as well as a spare wheel with the truck. The wheels are the American Racing brand. The hub covers are off and didn't get put on when the tires were put on, but do come with the truck. Interior This truck is pretty simple. It is the standard cab and has a bench seat. The driver's seat is worn, but the rest of the seat is in good condition. The dash is free of any cracks as is the glass. The instruments and controls are simple and all work except the odometer. The interior light, rear cargo light and radio work. The speakers need to be replaced and I have taken the old ones out. I have new ones in a box to go with the truck. It is just an AM/FM radio and gets it's computer testing through codes in the radio. It has an aftermarket console that will go with the truck. Behind the seat is a first aid kit, flare kit, emergency triangle and various road emergency items, and a step to use on the front tire to access the engine compartment. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer. I do not have to sell this truck, but think it's best since I really don't have the need for it any longer. I'd rather sell it now than wait until something happens to it. |

SRT partners with Bondurant for performance driving classes
Fri, Nov 6 2015Dodge and Bob Bondurant have announced a new partnership that will see the latter become the former's official high-performance driving school. The deal will see the Bondurant school's entire fleet of nearly 100 vehicles switched over from mostly General Motors products to Dodge Chargers, Challengers, and Vipers. It will give paying customers the chance to drive models like the new Hellcats and even the Viper ACR (for those deemed qualified to drive it) on the track in Arizona. The arrangement won't only benefit Bondurant clients, though. Anyone who buys or leases a new SRT model will get a one-day course at the school, including professional instruction on track. They'll have to pay for their own travel and accommodations, but the instruction will hopefully show more drivers of SRT vehicles how to handle all that muscle they've got at their disposal. DODGE/SRT PARTNERS WITH LEGENDARY BOB BONDURANT SCHOOL OF HIGH PERFORMANCE DRIVING The Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving Is Now "The Official High Performance Driving School of Dodge/SRT" - All customers who buy a new 2015 or 2016 model SRT will receive one full-day session of high-performance driving with professional instruction and time on the track as part of the Dodge/SRT package - Bondurant attendees will get to experience the full line of Dodge/SRT vehicles, including the Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger Hellcats - Bondurant's entire fleet of cars is being converted over to Dodge Chargers, Challengers and Vipers - Non-Dodge owners can purchase racing instruction through Bondurant and experience their full line of Dodge SRT vehicles on the track - Racing participants who qualify will get to experience the Dodge Viper ACR, the fastest street-legal Viper track car ever November 3, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - New Dodge/SRT buyers grab your racing shoes and helmets – Dodge is teaming up with the legendary Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving to create "The Official High Performance Driving School of Dodge/SRT."

Dodge Charger Pursuit takes Tesla interior approach
Fri, Sep 11 2015A police car's computer is just as integral to its duties as a set of lights and sirens. The popular approach for these systems is to grab something like a Panasonic Toughbook laptop, add a big, bulky tray to hold it, and use this inelegant setup for running plates and doing all the other things a cop needs to do while on the road. The downside, besides simple aesthetics, is that this arrangement robs the officer's shotgun-riding partner from legroom. Dodge, though, has come up with a far more elegant and functional solution. Taking a page out of Tesla and Volvo's book, Dodge has replaced the five-inch UConnect display and laptop mount in the Charger Pursuit police car with an enormous 12.1-inch, portrait-format touchscreen display. Called, UConnect 12.1, the new system doesn't do away with the old fashioned computer outright. Instead it moves the bulky unit to the trunk, where it can connect to the display via an ethernet cable. This is good for multiple reasons. First, there are no pricey installation or upfitting charges, like there are for most laptop carriages. Secondly, the plug-and-play nature of the new UConnect system won't require the department to buy new laptops. And third, there's no need to retrain officers, since the only thing that's really changing is the input. While the Charger Pursuit will continue to offer redundant audio and HVAC controls, the 12.1-inch display can, at the press of a "button" split to display Fiat Chrysler's familiar 8.4-inch display. Make one more tap on the screen, and the police-issue laptop can be managed through the full touchscreen. The touchscreen will also display a menu bar at the top of the page, which can easily be edited by officers. All it takes is a simple drag and drop from the application menu to the top of the display. According to Dodge, the touchscreen will even play nice when its operator is wearing gloves. "As America's high-performance police vehicle, Dodge Charger Pursuit is going big for 2016, offering a massive, Uconnect touchscreen system that streamlines a law enforcement officer's computer system with our easy-to-use Uconnect system – on an all-new laptop-sized 12.1-inch touchscreen display," said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge and SRT's president and CEO.
Fiat Chrysler's next-generation Uconnect is faster, built on Android
Mon, Jan 27 2020If you're a regular reader of Autoblog, you know that for a long time we've liked Fiat Chrysler's Uconnect infotainment system for its bright, clear, responsive touchscreen interface. Now, according to the company, it will be better than ever with Uconnect 5, the latest iteration of the system. It has upgraded hardware and a revamped graphic user interface (the stuff on the screen). Looking at sample screens shown above, there are characteristics shared with the old system, such as the time, status and shortcuts at the top and the menu icons at the bottom. In the middle, the major change is the addition of home screens that can be customized with favorite menus and readouts that are always available. Each of these home screens can have up to four functions and you can have five pages to flip through. The graphics themselves feature more legible fonts and updated icons. Each car brand will get its own set of icons, colors and textures to help create unique experiences. And while each Fiat Chrysler product will be able to have Uconnect, including Alfa Romeo that has until now lacked Uconnect, each brand has the ability to make small tweaks including the screen orientation. The system will support displays in landscape, portrait or square, so different brands may choose different shapes. Powering Uconnect 5 is a processor Fiat Chrysler says is six times more powerful than what's in current systems. It features 6 gigabytes of RAM and 64 gigabytes of internal storage. The processor also supports screens as large as 12.3 inches with as many as 15 million pixels, or nearly twice that of a 4K resolution TV. The system can display information on up to four screens, too. Uconnect 5's firmware is built on Google's Android operating system, joining a few other automakers in using Android as a base for their infotainment systems. Uconnect 5 brings with it a number of new features. It brings full Alexa integration, so you can use it just like you do at home, provided you have a data plan for the car. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto continue to be standard, but now they can be used wirelessly. You can also now connect two phones via Bluetooth wirelessly so you can access content from both. Navigation gets real time information and updates from TomTom. Users can create five profiles with unique climate, radio and instrument settings, plus one for a valet.
