83 Dodge Ram W250 4x4 W/29,800 Original Miles, 360 Engine And 4 Sp Low Gear Tran on 2040-cars
Millville, Pennsylvania, United States
ATTENTION MOPAR ENTHUSIASTS!!! If you are looking for a near one-of-a-kind, mostly original, southern-grown, mainly rust-free where it counts Dodge Power Ram W250, with unheard of ~29,850 original miles, then you have found just what you have been searching for. I am the second owner of this hard-to-find Ram which I purchased from a dealership in Bremen, GA in Aug of 2009 from a gentleman who traded it in on a new truck. That man was the "original owner" as he purchased it at government auction with ~14,000 miles on it. He owned it for several years where he restored the interior, replaced a whole host of mechanical parts such as the carb with a new Edelbrock, water pump, etc.(I have a more complete list just not on me presently) The truck has a rare combination of a 360 V8 engine, and one the most bulletproof 4 speed, low-geared transmissions ever made. The undercarriage of the truck is impeccable for the age, as top be expected from a truck which spent most of its life in the south. I have rarely taken it out in the snow and salt of the northeast as to preserve this untainted and solid truck. The previous owner repainted the truck and I would give it a grade of C, so a professional paint job would do this truck wonders. The interior was also replaced by the owner's wife who did in my opinion, a very nice job. She added some of her own touches with Power Ram stitching on the visors and 4WD shifter boot. The original radio had been replaced with a modern JVC w/CD. The truck has factory A/C which has never blown cold since I have owned it, and I have never cared enough to get it working again. The steering wheel has been replaced with a smaller racing style one, but I have the original. The wheels are not original and have been replaced with chrome 17" rims. Tires have ~3/32 of tread on them and will need to be replaced soon. The catalytic converter has long been gone from original owner and was not necessary for inspection in GA. In summary, this truck can be made into a real gem with minimal efforts as the core of the truck including body, frame, low miles, 4X4, engine and tranny, interior, all glass is perfect, and overall mechanical condition for the age is way above average. Some of the things which will need a little TLC include some exhaust hangers which recently broke and will need to be replaced, a tune-up may be in order replacing the plugs and wires, a professional paint job, and some of the rubber around the vents may need to be replaced as the driver side window and or vent whistles and leaks a bit. Some final thoughts to consider: I drove this truck home over 900 miles from Bremen, GA to NE PA when I purchased it, and had absolutely no issues. The engine runs great, transmission and four-wheel drive work perfect, brakes are to my knowledge acceptable, and the truck looses very little oil over an extended period time. I am selling this truck against my true wishes but unfortunately need the money more than the truck. Both myself and my young son enjoy this truck very much and my goal was to pass it onto him when he is older, but that is just not in the cards at this time. If you have any questions, feel free to call me on my cell at 570-954-0952 and my name is Steve. Bid with confidence and you will not be sorry should you win. Title in hand and available for show with appointment.

FCA recalls 570,000 SUVs from Jeep and Dodge over fire woes
Sun, Dec 27 2015Fiat Chrysler US has issued two recalls covering a total of about 570,000 Jeep and Dodge models. The first concerns vanity mirror wiring in the Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011 and 2012 model years, and in Dodge Durango units built before September 12, 2012. The automaker recalled almost 900,000 units last year to repair the issue, then faced more issues this year when the fires continued in repaired vehicles. This new recall seeks to resolve the issue, FCA saying that the post-recall fires happened in a tiny percentage of vehicles equipped with a specific wiring package. This recall is for 352,831 total units in the US, another 26,478 in Canada, 13,037 in Mexico, and 84,330 internationally. No injuries or deaths have been reported. FCA says it will inform customers as to when they can schedule a service visit to remedy the issue. The second recall takes aim at 60,107 examples of the Jeep Compass and Patriot from the 2015 model year in the US, plus 5,755 in Canada, 3,351 in Mexico, and 23,995 in other markets. Those models could suffer from an out-of-position clamp on the power steering fluid line. The error could allow fluid to leak, increasing the risk of a fire if the fluid ends up on a hot surface. In the case of a complete loss of fluid, drivers will need to use a lot more effort to steer. The automaker reports no injuries or accidents, and will advise customers when to head to the dealer for service.

It ain't easy keeping a Hellcat steady at 170 mph on ice
Mon, Mar 28 2016The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat you see hit the ice at Arsunda Speed Weekend in Sweden, over two hours north of Stockholm. It's said to be bone stock, save for the studded tires that help it grip on ice. But it apparently takes more than some steel studs and a lead foot to keep it pointed the right way. Just look at how much driver Alx Danielsson has to saw at the wheel to keep the Hellcat from veering off course. Fortunately he seems to have the chops to do so, being not only a native of Sweden (and therefor imbued from birth with otherworldly abilities to drive on ice) but also having won the highly competitive Formula Renault 3.5 Series championship back in 2006. In the end Danielsson hit a top speed in excess of 170 miles per hour, touted as some sort of record, however unofficial (and specific to Dodge Challengers). That's a fair bit shy of the 205 mph that Bentley achieved in the Continental Supersports, but while that model had slightly less power than the Hellcat, it did have the benefit of all-wheel drive – something that could make all the difference in these kinds of slippery conditions.

Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.
