2005 Dodge Ram Power Wagon 2500 4x4 on 2040-cars
Goodlettsville, Tennessee, United States
2005 Dodge Powerwagon. 194,000 miles. Runs and drives great. If you are
not familiar with the Power Wagon here is a little about it. It is a 3/4
ton truck like the ram 2500 but it has a heavier front axle, with full
locking front and rear differentials. When they are not locked the rear
is a limited slip. It also has electronic disconnecting front sway bar
for increased articulation. It comes with a factory warn 12,000 pound
winch hidden nicely behind the front bumper. The power wagon also has skid plates front to rear, and when it is in low range the throttle is
less responsive for a smoother ride in rough terrain. The wheels are
reinforced for strength and to keep them on the rim during off road.
This truck has a 3" long arm lift kit and 35" tires. It has the 5.7 Hemi
and a 5 speed automatic. The truck is not perfect but its a good
looking truck that turns heads. Here is a description of all the imperfections, and look closely at the pictures, I've tried to capture all of the imperfections. On the exterior the tailgate has a dent or 2, and the passenger bed side has a few very small dents, and 2 scratches. The passenger front fender has a scuff. The roof has some scratches on it from carrying a canoe on top. The Windshield is cracked. Interior: this is possibly the biggest flaw in the whole truck, the front seat and back seat do not match, they are close (I had the truck for 6 months before someone else pointed it out) once you know you can definitely tell the difference. Also the dash lights do not work. All other lights work just not those. There are 2 screw holes in the trim piece around the floor shifter from some type of accessory that was mounted. Mechanical: it could use a tune up, on wet mornings it idles rough till it warms up, it is well past due for a tune up. The upper four link bars need new bushings, because of this it makes a little noise in the front end, and the steering seems a little loose

FCA goes all-in on Jeep and Ram brands on cheap gas bet
Wed, Jan 27 2016It's no surprise that as SUV and truck sales remain strong in the wake of unusually cheap gas, Jeep and Ram sales are taking off. What is a surprise is that FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne thinks that cheap gas will be a "permanent condition," and feels strongly enough about it to change up North American manufacturing plans. Jeep appears to be the biggest beneficiary of the product realignment. In addition to increasing the sales estimates for the brand worldwide upwards to 2 million units a year by 2018, the brand will get a flood of investment for new product and powertrains. Consider the Wrangler Pickup to be part of the salvo, as well as the Grand Wagoneer three-row announced in 2014 as part of the original five-year plan. The Wrangler four-door will get at least two new powertrains, a diesel and mild hybrid version, in its next generation. That mild hybrid powertrain may utilize a 48-volt electrical system like the one that's being developed by Delphi and Bosch – which the suppliers think will be worth a 10 to 15 percent fuel economy gain at a minimum. Down the road, in the 2020s, the Wrangler could adopt a full hybrid system. The diesel powertrain is planned for 2019 or 2020. The Ram 1500 is also pegged to receive a mild hybrid system, again potentially based on 48-volt architecture, sometime after 2020. Lastly, Jeep and Ram will take over some of the production capacity of existing plants. The Sterling Heights, MI, plant that builds the Chrysler 200 will now build the Ram 1500; the Belvidere, IL, facility that produces the Dodge Dart will take over Cherokee output; the big Jeep facility in Toledo, OH, will be used for increased Wrangler demand. In 2015, according to FCA's numbers, car and van demand went down by 10 percent, but SUV demand went up 8 percent and truck demand 2 percent. Considering that these are high-margin vehicles, FCA can't ignore the math. FCA also won't build any new factories to supplement production to meet demand, but instead are reshuffling production priorities. Think of it this way: FCA is gambling on cheap gas being a permanent part of our lives, at least into the 2020s. By doubling down on SUVs and trucks, the company stands to win big, unless a spike in gas prices changes the landscape. FCA isn't talking about a Plan B, so they're all in. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'
Fri, 12 Jul 2013This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.
Are you the Dodge Dart SRT4?
Tue, 08 Jan 2013Dodge has just confirmed that it will be bringing its newest Dart variant, the Dart GT, to Detroit next week, but we're still in the dark about when we'll see a truly hotted-up SRT4 version. But now, by way of the rumormill anyway, we've got at least one proposed, potentially Dodge-based rendering to light our way.
Seen here is what would appear to be a design sketch of the SRT4 Dart. Obviously the image that has surfaced is of rather low-resolution, but there's at least some evidence to support that it may be legitimate. In the original picture, one can just make out the name Tim Doyle in the lower right corner. As it turns out, Tim Doyle's name is also watermarked on the final design image for the 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel Black & Tan, a model that was shown at SEMA in 2010.
Of course, even if this really is the work of Doyle, there's nothing to say that this image isn't one of a great many potential looks for the future SRT4. In fact, the departure of the cross-hair grille from the Dodge's nose seems like it could be a hard sell, though we do, naturally, dig the sleek hood scoop and the bulked up wheel/tire combination.
