1997 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport 5.9l 4x2 Good Cond!!! on 2040-cars
Up for sale is a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport pickup with lots of maintenance in the past 3 yrs. It has the rare 5.9L engine which was replaced by Dodge at 30,000 miles under warranty. Transmission was replaced shortly after that at an AAMCO shop. Recent new parts include radiator, front and rear shocks, 4 tires, fuel pump, new tie rods, tie rod ends, and idler arms, upper and lower ball joints, belt and tensioner, cat-back exhaust, and its had regular oil and filter changes. Now for some of the bad points- The top of the wheel wells in the bed are rusting out, as is the rear bumper and lower drivers door. (all common areas for a Dodge of this age) It does stall when its cold, but once it warms up- I would trust this truck to drive ANYWHERE! Its missing the passenger step. Other than small dings and dents all around, no major damage and the truck has never been in an accident. The A/C has a small leak somewhere (uses about 1/2 can of Freon every spring) but once its charged- its ICE COLD all summer long! And the radio volume doesn't work (radio works, you just can't adjust volume). The paint is also starting to peel (clear coat layer) on the hood and roof. ALSO INCLUDED- is a vinyl bed cover in near perfect condition! I am the 3rd owner, and the previous 2 owners took very good care of this truck and so did I- This truck should last the next owner a very long time! Clear NJ title in hand, ready to make a deal!! MAKE ME AN OFFER!! Thanks for looking and please email me with any questions! |

2016 Dodge Viper ACR is ready to take a bite out of the Corvette Z06 [w/video]
Fri, May 8 2015The Dodge Viper ACR is back, and as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles tells it, it's the most venomous breed ever born. Before you get too excited, the 8.4-liter V10 produces 645 horsepower; five more than the standard Viper and five less than the supercharged Chevrolet Corvette Z06. It's unclear why Dodge didn't extract more from the huge engine, although we somehow imagine that certain people in Maranello, Italy had a say in the matter. Instead of blessing the ACR variant with bunches of extra output, Dodge instead turned to an aggressive aerodynamics package that it claims delivers nearly a ton of downforce at the Viper's maximum speed of 177 miles per hour. The total aero package includes an adjustable, twin-element, carbon-fiber rear wing, carbon-fiber diffuser, an extendable front splitter, and dive planes. Those big louvers on the hood? Yeah, they're removable, too. The "race-tuned" suspension uses coil-over Bilstein shocks that offer ten different settings and up to three inches of height adjustment. Kumho Ecsta V720 tires were built specifically for the Viper ACR, and come in 355/30 in back and 295/25 in front, with 19-inch wheels at all four corners. Along with the aero improvements, Dodge is claiming the Viper can pull a race-car-like 1.5Gs in higher-speed turns. Carbon-ceramic brakes with six-piston calipers add the stopping power that's greater or equal to the ACR's cornering performance. Dodge was also keen to reduce weight, taking some rather dramatic measures in the effort. The stereo has just three speakers, while the electric function was removed from the seats. Even the carpet has been replaced with a "lightweight" alternative. Finally, Dodge is offering up the innovative 1 of 1 customization it pioneered with the Viper GT earlier this year. That means that not only can you get the fastest Viper ever built, but it'll be entirely your own when you take delivery.

Dodge bringing revamped Challenger, Charger to Big Apple
Mon, 07 Apr 2014The 2014 New York Auto Show will be a big one for Dodge, as the brand has announced that refreshed versions of the 2015 Challenger and 2015 Charger will debut at the show. This is a particularly big deal for the two-door Challenger which, visually, has remained unchanged since is burst back onto the scene in 2008 and helped reignite the muscle car wars.
As a sort of hint, this announcement was accompanied by the picture you see above - the Super Bee logo in the Challenger's new instrument cluster. According to Dodge, the New York debut of a new "powertrain combination" - possibly with the high-output Hellcat V8 - will leave enthusiasts "abuzz."
As for the Charger, Dodge is promising a full redesign that should be a significant departure from the blunt, angry looks of the current model. At this point, there's no indication that the Challenger's new powertrain could be fitted to the Charger, although considering how mechanically similar these two vehicles have been, it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility.
