very unique ratrod here.  it started out as a 1963 dodge m37 weapons carrier but has been morphed with a 1966 olds toronado to make a rear engine rat rod that gets lots of attention.  I will try and explain how we put this together and hopefully the pics will show the rest but you can ask any questions if you are unsure about anything.  the engine and transmission are pretty much all original other than the chrome etc..  runs great.  we removed the entire front frame clip from the toronado all the way back to the crossmember where torsion bars attach.  the steering was centered and the pitman arm was welded to frame and additional braces were added to hold steering linkage still.  this way tie rod adjustments can be made for fine tuning the wheel angles if needed.  we then notched m37 frame to fit and set it down over toronado frame clip welding wherever it was close enough to weld and adding reinforcement braces down each side.  the frame is very solid now maybe even a bit heavier than it needs to be.  it will handle enough torque to even pull the front wheels off the ground occasionally under hard acceleration.  for the front suspension we used a whole crosmember from a 1976 chevy half ton truck and it pretty much bolted right in.  the radiator with and electric fan is mounted in its original position up front and water is piped through metal tubes back to engine.. holds almost 7 gallons on antifreeze so very unlikely to have cooling problems even if fan didn't work.  the vehicle is roadworthy as it is, could use some tires, but all lights, steering etc good, brand new brakes all around, new calipers, wheel cylinders, mastercylinder etc.  seats were recovered.  I have original military canvas top that needs to be installed.  it is in good shape, but may need to be wet and stretched to fit just right.  I also have a tailgate and a new set of headers that are made to go straight up like on a boat that I will let go with it.  it has a good set of torque thrust wheels 5x5 on it. needs doorglass and has 1 cracked windshield  The state of GA does not issue title on vehicles this old so this truck will be sold with bill of sale and GA registration which is all that's required to get a title in another state.  you can verify this with your DMV if you'd like.

25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.

Dodge adds fire-breathing Durango SRT for 2018

Tue, Feb 7 2017

The playbook for Dodge right now is pretty simple. Wring as much power out of as many things as humanly possible. Now comes the 2018 Dodge Durango SRT. Packing 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, this seven-seat school bus will scoot to 60 miles per hour in just 4.4 seconds. Since the latest Durango launched for 2014, Dodge has unabashedly called it a three-row Charger. This beefy SUV makes that aggressive claim even more legit. "It does all the things we want a performance car to do," says Mark Trostle, head of performance, passenger, and utility vehicle exterior design. "It really is our three-row Charger." The 6.4-liter (392 cubic inches) Hemi V8 is considerably stronger than the already-potent 5.7-liter Hemi V8, which is rated at 360 hp and 390 lb-ft in the most powerful Durango available now. The SRT powertrain includes the TorqueFlight eight-speed automatic transmission used in the lesser Durango models (and many other FCA US vehicles), though it's calibrated specifically to the sportier demeanor of the SRT model. A similarly retuned full-time all-wheel-drive system rounds out the powertrain. Despite the fact this is a hot-rod SUV, it can still tow 8,600 pounds with a trailer, 1,200 pounds more than the most capable 2017 Durango (the rear-wheel 5.7-liter variant). View 9 Photos The Durango SRT is an obvious move for Dodge. The Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is built on the same platform in the same factory in Detroit, already has an SRT model. With rumors of a Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee swirling and another Demonic Challenger on the way, the Durango was overdue for an engine upgrade. "When we launched the Durango in 2014, this is the one we really wanted," says Tim Kuniskis, head of FCA US' passenger car brands. There's no doubt this is an enthusiast-oriented SUV. Dodge even went to the trouble of certifying the Durango SRT's 12.9-second quarter-mile time with the NHRA and tested it a Virginia International Raceway. Buy a Durango SRT, and you get a full day at the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving. When's the last time anyone did all of that with a three-row ute? It certainly looks the part. The hood bulges with new air-ducts to help keep the big Hemi chilled appropriately. There's a new front fascia with more air vents and LED fog lamps. Plus, the grille takes on a menacing new glare with a mesh pattern, and the body gets wider wheel flares. Click through the gallery, it really does look like a Charger from some angles.

Stormtrooper Dodge Charger Episode IV: A New Soap

We spent a day with a Dodge Charger that looks like a Stormtrooper helmet and made a few videos. In this one, the Charger meets the car wash. May the force be with the dryer. Read about the car and watch the rest of the videos here.
