Hello. Up for auction is a beautiful 2008 Dodge Ram Mega Cab SLT 1500 4X2 with the 5.7-Liter HEMI V8 Engine and 5-speed Automatic Transmission. Exterior color is Inferno Red Crystal Pearl Coat Paint and interior is a gorgeous Medium Slate Grey. One senior owner with 29,301 original miles (mileage may go up slightly). Vehicle is in great condition with bright paint and a very clean interior. No accidents and will be 100% on any report. Clean/clear Arizona title. Owners manual and all documentation that I have will be included.

KBB is at $25,037

Interior: Never smoked in and has never seen snow or harsh weather, as it has been mostly garaged since bought brand new. No rips, tears, or stains on the seats, nor any cracks in the dash pad. Dash cover is in like new condition and has been on since 2008. Everything electrical works (6-way drivers side seat, radio, CD player, MP3 player, 12v auxiliary power outlet, A/C controls, defroster, all 4 windows go up and down like new, instrument gauges all work, rear sliding window, horn, windshield wipers, cruise control, cargo lamp, headlights, taillights, 3rd brake light, directional blinkers, interior lighting, power adjustable brake and gas pedal, dimming mirror with outside temp and direction, etc). Front passenger side seat manually adjusts easily. Rear seats have actually only been sat in a couple of times and fold down easily for more storage. Massive amount of leg room in the rear. All glass is clear with no cracks. Door panels are clean (no cracks, stains, etc), weatherstripping is soft, and door jambs are clean. Headliner is like new and the truck still has the "new vehicle" smell. Floor mats are original and in good shape with most of the wear being on the drivers side.

Exterior: Paint is clean and in great shape with no fading. Chrome is nice and shiny with no pitting. No rust obviously as this vehicle has never left Arizona. All emblems have been removed except the factory SXT stickers on the rear. Being as this was my fathers vehicle and he was older, he scratched the passenger side rear quarter (see picture) and lightly backed into a light pole on the drivers side (see picture). I replaced the drivers side taillight because it was cracked, and bought paint from the Avondale Dodge dealership to touch up that area. A very small dent remains that is not noticeable until close viewing. Headlights are bright and clear. Front mud flaps were installed after getting it home from the dealership so there aren't any stone chips along the side of the vehicle.  Engine bay was always kept clean in the garage. Antenna delivers great sound quality to the radio. Rear of the truck is pretty clean and a bed/tailgate mat was installed shortly after the vehicle was purchased to protect it. This is a truck and it was used a few times to haul some things from Home Depot so there are a few scratches on the bed. Vehicle used to have a soft tonneau cover on that was removed (no holes were drilled...it installed with clamps). License plate lights work as they should. Please remember this vehicle has been driven nearly 29,500 miles and has small imperfections.

Mechanical: Engine oil and filter have been changed every 2,500 miles or less with Castrol GTX 5w20. A new battery was installed in June of 2013. Air filter replaced approximately 5,000 miles ago. Tires are all matching Michelin LTX MS2 265/70R/17. These tires were installed at 19,900 miles and have a 70,000 mile warranty with lifetime balancing (documentation will be provided to new owner for this warranty). No fluid leaks anywhere. No warning or check engine light. Brakes stop quickly with no pulsing, pulling, squeaking, or any noises, and I was recently told there is 65-70% of the pads left, on all 4 wheels. As this truck has been lightly driven, the steering and whole suspension is still very tight and goes straight down the road. Transmission shifts smooth to every gear and this vehicle has never carried/towed anything heavier than a few bags of cement, some lumber, and a Christmas tree. A/C blows hard and is ice cold in the summer with the heater being very hot in the winter. Vehicle has never overheated or had any drivability issues.
Repairs: In June of 2011, at 9,750 miles, the vehicle was taken to the Avondale Dodge dealership in Avondale, AZ for a "J10" recall involving the windshield wiper motor. Service was completed and I will send the documentation of this to the new owner. Also at this time, my father did not believe the A/C was blowing cold enough so he had them check this, as well. They found the system was 6oz low on freon so they evacuated the system, let it set in vacuum to check for pressure loss, it held vacuum, so they charged the system back up to specifications and found no leaks. There have been no issues since. Leak dye was also added to the system so in case of any future freon leakage, the new owner will know exactly where it's coming from without paying for more freon and more dye.
In June of 2013, at 21,057 miles, the vehicle had a "service engine" light illuminate and go off within a few driving cycles. It was taken to Larry H Miller Dodge in Avondale, AZ and they found no DTC's in the system. While the truck was there, they performed a power train inspection. I will include this documentation to the new owner, as well.
In August of 2013, at 23,002 miles, the vehicle had a "service engine" light illuminate and stay on so the vehicle was taken back to the dealership that it was purchased from, Jim Click Dodge in Tucson, AZ. It was for a code P0456 (evaportative emissions system - small leak detected). The ESIM switch was replaced and PCM was updated to latest software. For good measure, I replaced the fuel cap as well (was told another common problem is the original gas cap gasket). No service engine light since and no issues. I will include this documentation to the new owner, as well.

Story: You may be asking yourself why I am selling this truck with such low mileage and in such good condition. As mentioned above, this was my fathers vehicle and he has since passed away. Originally, he bought this truck because of its size, power, and comfort (he was a big guy). He had dreams of towing a boat behind it but unfortunately, he ran into multiple health issues that eventually took his life. Neither myself nor my mother need a vehicle of this size anymore so, it is now up for sale to someone who could use it for what it was intended to do. It truly is a nice vehicle and I firmly believe the new owner will be very happy with this purchase. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions, concerns, or the need for additional pictures of something specific. I will answer questions and picture requests as quickly as I possibly can. The clear Arizona title is solely in my mothers name and I am selling it for her. Please check my feedback, 5 star seller ratings, and bid with confidence.  photo BlueBook_zps7d203e89.jpg  photo 20140423_205835_zpsa690ee65.jpg  photo 20140423_145002_zps773c6ddb.jpg  photo 20140423_145030_zps2b947ddf.jpg  photo 20140423_150738_zpsbe38d458.jpg  photo 20140423_150753_zps01798810.jpg  photo 20140423_150818_zpsd283b55f.jpg  photo 20140423_150848_zpse1bd1d34.jpg  photo 20140423_150950_zps64f89d4d.jpg  photo 20140423_151011_zpsf67855be.jpg  photo 20140423_151037_zps73dd7d8f.jpg  photo 20140423_151055_zpsd24c737f.jpg  photo 20140423_151126_zps781232ba.jpg  photo 20140423_151142_zps8764d1d6.jpg  photo 20140423_151215_zps7aa6f543.jpg  photo 20140423_151229_zpsddc0c226.jpg  photo 20140423_151248_zpsd20446ae.jpg  photo 20140423_151330_zps0398382c.jpg  photo 20140423_151357_zps916140b6.jpg  photo 20140423_151436_zpse5a6d78f.jpg  photo 20140423_151444_zps2cc14bf7.jpg  photo 20140423_151521_zps4a7d4b94.jpg  photo 20140423_151530_zps099f9433.jpg  photo 20140423_151543_zps8d0c5e83.jpg  photo 20140423_151607_zpsa4f9c262.jpg  photo 20140423_151628_zpse7e32b91.jpg  photo 20140423_151638_zps88b6aff5.jpg  photo 20140423_151647_zps55937985.jpg  photo 20140423_151658_zps5bac0f35.jpg  photo 20140423_151716_zpsb88198aa.jpg  photo 20140423_151749_zps0d0ba3db.jpg  photo 20140423_151815_zps1986bf21.jpg  photo 20140423_151822_zpsebd161e9.jpg  photo 20140423_151851_zps41f4e935.jpg  photo 20140423_151904_zpsbe393bad.jpg  photo 20140423_151937_zps6be6bd7e.jpg  photo 20140423_151941_zpsb0f2d8af.jpg  photo 20140423_151948_zpsf51747fa.jpg  photo 20140423_152004_zps8a7068c3.jpg  photo 20140423_152013_zps9f4a750d.jpg  photo 20140423_152025_zpsd634dece.jpg  photo 20140423_152032_zpsac4e48d2.jpg  photo 20140423_152109_zpsb937babd.jpg  photo 20140423_152134_zps3aa6f9cd.jpg  photo 20140423_152159_zpscb4cba6e.jpg  photo 20140423_152240_zps75f81e8c.jpg  photo 20140423_152249_zps2e949a7a.jpg  photo 20140423_152315_zpsb1c03a96.jpg  photo 20140423_152401_zps914e0561.jpg  photo 20140423_152414_zps4caaff14.jpg  photo 20140423_152447_zps7e2b4db8.jpg  photo 20140423_152515_zpsada62e80.jpg  photo 20140423_152540_zpsccfdf837.jpg  photo 20140423_152550_zpsfd0663da.jpg  photo 20140423_152643_zps72419d8c.jpg  photo 20140423_152656_zpsfd88664d.jpg  photo 20140423_152705_zps46aa3498.jpg  photo 20140423_152717_zps48d43196.jpg  photo 20140423_152729_zps08df0e15.jpg  photo 20140423_152736_zps7b3a90d8.jpg

China's Great Wall confirms its interest — in Jeep, or all of FCA

Tue, Aug 22 2017

HONG KONG/SHANGHAI — Chinese automaker Great Wall Motor reiterated its interest in Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV on Tuesday, but said it had not held talks or signed a deal with executives at the Italian-American automaker. China's largest sport utility vehicle manufacturer made a direct overture to Fiat Chrysler on Monday, with an official saying the company was interested in all or part of FCA, owner of the Jeep and Ram truck brands. Automotive News first reported the news, quoting Great Wall Motor President Wang Fengying as saying she planned to contact FCA to discuss acquiring the Jeep brand specifically. Those comments sent FCA shares higher but also raised questions over the ability of China's seventh-largest automaker by sales to buy larger Western rival FCA, or even Jeep, which some analysts value at as much as one-and-a-half times FCA. Great Wall sought to dampen speculation on Tuesday. It confirmed it had studied Fiat Chrysler, but said there was "no concrete progress so far" and "substantial uncertainty" over whether it would eventually bid. "The company has not built any relationship with the directors of FCA nor has the company entered into any discussion or signed any agreements with any officer of FCA so far," the company said in an English-language stock exchange filing. It did not give further detail. Fiat Chrysler stock dipped on the statement on Tuesday. Great Wall said trading in its Shanghai-listed shares would resume on Wednesday after having been suspended. Fiat Chrysler declined to comment on Great Wall's statement. On Monday, it said it had not been approached and was fully committed to implementing its current business plan. FLUSHING OUT RIVALS? Great Wall Motor, which was early to spot China's love of SUVs, had revenue of $14.8 billion last year and sold 1.07 million vehicles - but that compares with FCA's 2016 revenue of 111 billion euros ($130.6 billion). Analysts said Great Wall would need to raise both debt and equity to complete any deal, meaning its chairman Wei Jianjun could lose majority control. One possible scenario, according to analysts at Jefferies, would see Wei keeping a roughly 30 percent stake, while Great Wall would raise $10-$14 billion in debt and $10 billion in equity - hefty for a group currently worth just $16 billion. Ultimately, politics could be the clincher.

Hypermiling a Ram 1500 EcoDiesel to 38.1 mpg

Fri, May 9 2014

You never quite know what Wayne Gerdes has up his sleeve. The man who coined the term hypermiling is always looking for adventurous ways to prove that anyone – even you... yes, you – can eke out more miles per gallon just by changing the way you drive. Saying that is easy. Proving it by going on outlandish cross-country drives is hard. But for Gerdes and his team of fuel economy fiends over at CleanMPG, hard is half the fun. Our latest adventure appeared, at first glance, to be nearly impossible. Which is why we always answer the phone when Gerdes calls. He likes to take journalists along on his drives, not only to try teach us how to hypermile but also to prove that we can be taught. The first time I 'helped' him and his team was when we got over 30 miles per gallon in a 2011 Ford F-150 XLT with the EcoBoost 3.5-liter V6. The EPA rated that truck with at just 16 mpg in the city and 22 on the highway. So, we'll count that trip as a success. Next up was a cross-country drive last fall in a trio of Audi TDI vehicles to prove that you don't need to drive extra slow to beat the EPA numbers. In fact, we made it from Los Angeles to New York City in just over 46 hours, cramped but not cranky. We had once again proven that how you drive is hugely important to your fuel usage. Our latest adventure appeared, at first glance, to be nearly impossible. The EPA says that the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel we would be driving gets just 22 combined mpg (19 city and 27 highway). Gerdes' idea was to drive it as far north from Houston, TX towards Detroit, MI as we could go on one tank. The day before we left, our itinerary got an extra stop. Instead of taking one of the official Shell Eco-marathon prototype vehicles to Detroit, it was decided to bring the winning diesel-powered prototype from the just-finished event to The Henry Ford Museum, where it had been arranged the car would be displayed. The winning car was built by a small team (just four students) from Sullivan High School in Sullivan, IN, who managed to beat a number of college teams with a score of 1,899.32 mpg. That target would be a bit out of reach for the Ram, but could we get 1,000 miles from the tank? Since the truck has a 26 gallon tank (officially, anyway), that would mean the EPA says we could only go 702 miles, assuming all highway driving. Could we make up 300 miles with careful driving? That spells both challenge and fun.
