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. |

2021 L.A. Auto Show roundup | All the reveals, reviews, pictures
Thu, Nov 18 2021The L.A. Auto Show took place this week for the first time since the onset of the pandemic. It was a show packed with news and reveals, which hasn't really been the case with other shows we've seen this year, and Autoblog was on the floor covering every minute of it. Well, Riswick and Stocksdale were, anyway. The rest of us were sitting at home in our sweatpants, but hey, we'll take credit anyway. Let's get to it. Hyundai Seven Concept This is the Hyundai Seven Concept, and it’s meant to act as a preview for an incoming electric SUV for the Ioniq brand. It leans more toward the concept side of the spectrum than a production car, but expect the final SUV to take design cues from the Seven Concept. Kia Concept EV9 The Hyundai Seven counterpart isn't the only big, bold electric SUV at L.A. this year. Kia has its own take, and it's a modernized version of the traditional boxy utility vehicle called the Concept EV9. It also previews one of the next production electric cars for the brand, which should look right at home next to things like the Telluride. 2023 Kia Sportage HEV As promised, the 2023 Kia Sportage HEV has been revealed. The hybrid powertrain makes the compact SUV the most powerful version available, and it goes on sale next year. The engine is a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder paired with a 44-kW electric motor. Total output is 226 horsepower. The company didn't give a torque number, but it should basically be the same as the Sorento HEV that has the same basic powertrain: 258 pound-feet. Those numbers are a healthy step up from the 187 horsepower of the base 2.5-liter engine. 2022 Range Rover If you noticed how extra smooth and suave the new Range Rover looked during its recent reveal, Autoblog's James Riswick got a design tour that revealed some of the technological secrets to its success. "Less is more" is harder to achieve than it looks. Fisker Ocean Fisker has brought the new Ocean EV to the L.A. Auto Show, with a public preview at Manhattan Beach and a presence at the show itself. You can watch the public show reveal above, and see more shots from the show floor below. Fisker says the Ocean will start at $37,499 before incentives. That entry model would be the Sport trim with a single, 275-horsepower motor driving the front wheels and 250 miles of estimated range. It also has a 0-60 time of 6.9 seconds. 2023 Toyota bZ4X This is the 2023 Toyota bZ4X, due to hit U.S.
2015 Dodge Viper price drops $15k for 2015
Mon, 08 Sep 2014We recently saw updated specs and new trims of the 2015 Viper, but it looks like the folks at Dodge were saving the biggest surprise for last. Prices on all levels of the American sports car are seeing an immediate, across-the-board price cut of $15,000; even 2014 models still remaining on dealer lots.
The new MSRP for the 2015 Viper in its base SRT trim now starts at $84,995, and when the TA and GTS come to the lineup later next year, they start at $100,995 and $107,995, respectively. The move seems like a swing for the fences that might help to quell slow sales.
Obviously, current Viper owners might be somewhat peeved that their investment was just re-priced by the company. However, to assuage some of their concerns, Dodge is giving all fifth-gen owners a certificate worth $15,000 towards the purchase of a new one, which comes in addition to the price reduction.
Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites
Sun, Jan 7 2024Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.
