1990 Dodge W250 Base Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 5.9l Cummins First Gen Diesel on 2040-cars
Providence, Utah, United States

This Truck is in overall good condition. I never thought in a million years that I would sell this truck because it is my baby, but circumstances have lead to my decision to sell it. It is not new or perfect by any-means. It will be sold as is. The motor runs amazing and I get really good fuel economy(the best is 23 mpg). The 1990 Cummins did not come with an inter-cooler. I had one installed from a 1992 dodge, so it does have an inter-cooler. While I was at it I had an HX-35 turbo installed, which a turbo that has a smaller fresh air side and a larger exhaust side. The turbo and inter-cooler were not installed to race and hot rod the truck, they were only installed for performance purposes only(better fuel economy, etc.) While the intercoller was being installed, I had the front cover of the motor removed and had the killer dowel pin fixed as a preventative measure. It had not worked itself out at all, but I had the washer put on it to hold it in place, all new seals were put on the front of the motor while this was done.
This truck will fire right up on a cold morning. In Utah it will get below zero, and the manifold heater works great and it will start right up on sub zero days. No cranking on anything. It is amazing how good it starts. This truck has been babied its whole life. I bought it from an older gentlemen that received it from his father as part of an inheritance. So it has been family owned its hole life. I have a note book with service records of all of the new parts that have been installed. A new high perfomance clutch was installed at 150,000 miles. The front and rear brakes and rotors were installed along with rear wheel seals, there is a history of all of the oil changes and there has been a few overhead valve adjustments. The brakes stop fine and everything, but they are not perfect. Maybe the front rotors could be turned to make it smoother or something, but they are fine. The paint looks good but it is not perfect either. There are some surface rust spots around the wheel wells, including under the cab on the drivers side door there is a hole the size of a quarter. The frame only has minimal surface rust there is no major rust. There are no leaks from the drivetrain. The only leak comes from the power steering gear box. This is a slow leak and it has leaked ever since i bought it. My intentions were to fix it, but the leak is so minimal that I just top off the power steering fluid everytime I change the oil and that has worked fin. It has a straight pipe exhaust, I do have the muffler somewhere if you would like that. It sounds good though, it is a real head turner. I get compliment all the time, and have guys offer to buy this truck from me everywhere I go. It has not pulled a lot of heavy loads in its life, although it is very capable. There is a trailer brake controller installed under the dash. I put the fifth wheel ball in the bed so I could pull a 5th wheel camp trailer and horse trailer occasionally. It was never abused when it was used to pull, but it pulls great and will pull anything. The interior is a great shape. The seat has had a cover on it its whole life. I took it off. There is a little bit of cracking in the side(not on the top where you sit) of the seat on the drivers side. Some of the plastic trim around the headliner has some cracking also. It is nothing major and it has been there the whole time I have owned it which is about 5 years. Whoever ends up with this old dodge will be one lucky individual and will get a hell of of a good truck that will last a really long time. I really hate to see it go. Here is a Video of the truck running(it is a cold start morning): Ebay will not let me post the link, but my youtube username is craigcanski so look it up on youtube |

Dodge Challenger Hellcat X is 805-hp worth of charity [w/video]
Mon, Jul 20 2015Donating to charity is good for the soul. You feel good and help out those in need, and while you should donate out of the goodness of your heart, there's nothing wrong with getting something in return. That's doubly true if that something (or somethings) happen to run on gasoline... a lot of gasoline. For just $3 (plus $40,000 in taxes), you could park not one, but two high-powered Mopars in your driveway. The big item, of course, is the world's most powerful Dodge Challenger Hellcat. Dubbed the Hellcat X after the XF6F, a twin-charged US Navy prototype that evolved into the Hellcat fighter from World War II. Its 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 has been supplemented by a turbocharger, boosting output to 805 horsepower. Because, you know, 707 just wasn't quite enough. It should be noted that the Hellcat X isn't a production model – Fiat Chrysler isn't going to be putting a twin-charged Hemi into production – but that it's a one-off job built for the 2015 Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle. Joining the Hellcat X is a handsome, black 1970 Challenger 440 R/T. Complete with a four-barrel carburetor (yeah, we were hoping for a Six Pack, as well), a pistol-grip shifter, and menacing black paint, this exact car was the star of 2012's "Revolution Reborn" television spot. And if this car's on-air claim to fame isn't enough, rest easy knowing you're the owner of just one of 100 black 440 R/Ts produced in 1970. Now, single tickets do start at $3, although there are larger bundles available, including a $5,000, 6,000-ticket package. Proceeds from the drawing, which is being put on by Dream Giveaway, will go towards New Beginning Children's Home charity, which issues grants to everything from the National Guard Educational Foundation to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. You can check out more on the Hellcat X in the video, below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Weekly Recap: Ferrari plans to gradually increase production by 2019
Sat, Oct 17 2015Ferrari has long been known for the exclusivity of its performance machines. It's on a different level than Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes. But as it transitions to a new era of independence from Fiat Chrysler, Ferrari is going to get a little less exclusive. It's by design, and it means a subtle, slow ramp-up of production – a move Ferrari believes will ensure its future by meeting growing demand in new markets. The strategy was detailed in SEC documents filed this month as part of the company's pending stock offering. The files reveal Ferrari will gradually increase shipments to about 9,000 units per year by 2019. This is a reversal of Ferrari's 2013 plans to cap production at 7,000 cars annually, which it hit on the nose that year. Ferrari shipments inched up to 7,255 in 2014, though that's down from 2012's record tally of 7,405. Ferrari is a vastly different operation than it was in 2013. Longtime chairman Luca di Montezemolo stepped down last fall, and FCA chief executive Sergio Marchionne has been overseeing the company since then. Its IPO has attracted high levels of attention from enthusiasts and investors. As expected, demand has reportedly outstripped the availability of the stock, which has an estimated offering price of $48 to $52 a share. Speaking of more Ferraris, the company revealed a limited-edition model this week called the F12tdf (shown above). Based on the F12 Berlinetta, the car is a salute to the Tour de France endurance auto race that Ferrari dominated in the 1950s and '60s. The V12 engine's output increases to 769 horsepower, while weight is cut by 243 pounds – allowing for a sprint to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds. Dramatic carbon-fiber elements and a radical redesign of the body panels give the F12 a more dramatic look. It will be limited to 799 units over the life of the car. If this is how Ferrari is increasing production, we're more than okay with the company's new strategy. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Tesla software unlocks Autopilot features Tesla released the latest version of its software for the Model S this week, which allows the all-electric sedan to drive in a semi-autonomous state called Autopilot. Tesla Version 7.0 enables the Model S to maintain lane position, change lanes by touching the turn signal, and manage the car's speed using an advanced, traffic-sensing cruise control. It also has a parallel parking feature, which searches for open spots and then parks your Tesla.
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.
