Dodge W200 4x4 (like Power Wagon) on 2040-cars
Pilot Hill, California, United States
|
This is your atypical awesome farm truck. It's a 1973 W200 with four wheel drive, a 318, and a granny gear 4-speed (manual transmission). It has Dana 44 and 60 axles (eight lug), both of which lock for positraction; they are also geared appropriately for the tire height. The engine runs great, but is indeed old; it burns a bit of oil, and it leaks, but it is totally dependable. It does not smoke, but the valvetrain can clatter a bit when it's hot. All driveline components work excellently; I use the four wheel drive at least once a month, and have installed new Warn premium hubs. The transfer case, transmission, clutch, and axles are in great shape, from the center sections to the brakes to the drive shafts. The following parts have been replaced in the last 2.5 years or so: steering box, carburetor, intake manifold, muffler, front hubs, rear drive shaft, u-joints, brakes, alternator, stereo. There's probably something else... The tires/wheels: 37x13-inch Toyo Open Country (50-65% left) on 17 inch aluminum rims. Suspension: 5.5 inch blocks in rear/6-inch springs in front. Shocks are so old (but work) that I can't tell what they are anymore. I've only had the truck about two years... This truck rides very smoothly and quietly, and is very comfortable on the freeway. Everything works, from the lights to the heater; it has power steering and brakes, and turns and stops with minimal effort. It'll get you about 10-12 miles per gallon... The floor pans in the cab have some rust, but if you want this truck, you should be handy. The glass is all good, and the bed is solid. I have mainly used this truck for things like firewood, gravel hauling, and trips to Home Depot, along with four-wheeling around my property, with the occasional 100-mile round trip. It rides like an old pickup, and can easily haul a ton in the bed. I've just gotten a new pickup to consolidate vehicles a bit, so this one has to go. The truck makes fans everywhere it goes. Feel free to ask questions. |

Dodge Dart Mopar '13 special edition recalled over airbag woes
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Dodge is only building 500 examples of the black-and-blue Mopar '13 Dart, but the majority of them are now being recalled. Part of the Mopar upgrade included replacing the stock seat skins in the Dart with black and blue Katzkin leather, but the seat-mounted side airbags were reinstalled improperly during the upfitting process, which could affect the performance of the front seat side airbags.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, a total of 374 Mopar '13 cars are being recalled due to side airbags that might not deploy in a side-impact collision. There have been no reports of the airbags not going off, but Chrysler will still need to reinstall the bags to ensure proper deployment. The recall notice is posted below, which gives information for Mopar '13 owners to contact Chrysler and NHTSA.
Chrysler recalling 780k minivans over fire risk
Fri, 09 May 2014Chrysler is recalling 780,000 of its Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2010 to 2014 model years due to the possibility of circuits overheating, which can lead to a fire. Of the 780,000 total vans being recalled, Chrysler estimates that 644,850 are in the US, 106,980 are in Canada, 8,009 are in Mexico, and 20,638 are in other markets. All of the affected vehicles were built between August 25, 2010 and October 31, 2013.
Chrysler's engineers discovered that beverage spills or exposure to moisture (from rain, snow, car washes, and the like) were linked to circuits shorting in the window switch assembly. Short circuits can overheat, and thus, cause a fire.
Chrysler will contact owners and let them know when they may schedule service, at which point, the window switches will be replaced. In the interim, the automaker says that owners may visit their dealers after May 14 to have the switches disconnected.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets 22 mpg
Thu, 18 Sep 2014With its crazy 707 horsepower on tap and roughly $60,000 starting price, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has been one of the most talked about cars of the summer, maybe even the year. However, there's always been one lingering question about the behemoth that Dodge has waited to answer until now - its fuel economy. The EPA ratings for the muscle car are finally out, and the numbers are actually pretty impressive for a vehicle with this much power.
A 2015 Challenger Hellcat with the eight-speed automatic is rated at 22 miles per gallon highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined. Opting for the six-speed manual drops those figures to 21 mpg highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined.
"As the fastest muscle car ever, the Challenger Hellcat can run 10-second ETs [elapsed times] at the track, and then get 22 miles per gallon on the drive home. With a starting price of $59,995, there's nothing else that even comes close," said Dodge and SRT President Tim Kuniskis in the company's release.
