All factory minus light bar and cb (both work)

Recent oil change with Penzoil

Truck is surprisingly solid for a 24 year old east coast truck, the paint still shines nice however the roof is fading in places and there is a spot of rot on the passenger side rocker. The frame has very minimal scaling and still has factory paint in places like the leaf shackles etc.. I just installed new plugs, wires, cap and rotor, coil and changed the oil again. The truck has sat for some time so I'm flushing whatever (if any) sludge has built up.

There are a few things that need attention which I will be working on until the truck sells such as..

The valve cover gaskets were slightly weeping, I tightened them up and it actually made it worse. I bought new Fel-pro gaskets however I haven't had a full day to take the valve covers off, strip them and repaint them as well as regasket them. I also bought new Fel-pro intake manifold gaskets.. figure if I go through the effort to do the valve covers the right way I may as well do then while I'm in there.

New universals which I have in the box (greaseable) which will be complete this week (both driveshafts) they are quiet however they are aged.

There are three marker lights on the visor that won't illuminate, I will remove the visor and instal all new lights and rewire the setup.

The passenger door speaker produces no sound. I am going to swap the speaker and if it works will continue to replace all the speakers with Sony units.

The master door lock switch is not working however the passenger door switch works. May be a bad contact (doubtful) or I will hunt one down off a parts truck.

The rubber grommet on the strike for the tailgate is mia, another parts truck item.

Carpet could use a shampoo (not dirty, just a little dingy). I may spring for the factory correct floormats however they take two weeks to make.

Trim needs to be rechromed in places or possibly just a dremel buffer with a good compound.

Odds and ends that are associated with a truck that's 24 years old and rides like a tank. 

The truck is for sale locally so the auction can end at any time. Cash only at pickup, must pick the truck up within one week.

Explore Dom's 1970 'off-road' Dodge Charger from Furious 7

Fri, Apr 3 2015

The Aficionauto, Christopher Rutkowski, already drove Dom's 1970 Dodge Charger from Fast & Furious and Fast Five. Now he's returning to the franchise for an interview with Dennis McCarthy, the vehicle coordinator on the last five Fast and Furious films, plus a close look at the custom off-road Charger that's one of the automotive stars in Furious 7. Given his resume, when McCarthy admits this is his new all-time favorite vehicle from the franchise, it really means something. Don't worry. McCarthy is careful not to spoil any of the film's action while he shows off the Charger and Shaw's fast attack vehicle that takes on the Dodge. McCarthy does reveal the one car that he still dreams to build for the series, and it's something that every fan should see. This looks like a fantastic blockbuster movie season for anyone that loves to watch cars crash and explode on the big screen. Furious 7 is in theaters right now, and based on the trailer, it promises the biggest stunts ever from the long-running franchise. And in just a few weeks, Mad Max: Fury Road hits cinemas to add a dystopian tinge to the automotive action.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

Detroit Auto Show prankster 'damages' hundreds of thousands of dollars of cars

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Obtaining credentials for an auto show is generally a pretty selective process, especially at one of the world's premier shows, like Geneva, Los Angeles or Detroit. That didn't stop online prankster Dennis Roady from getting credentialed for the 2015 North American International Auto Show on behalf of a Russian YouTube channel to cover the show. While he wasn't brought on strictly to cause mischief, Roady couldn't help but have some fun at the expense of the product specialists during the serious business of covering the show. He took to an app called "Dude, Your Car," which allows Apple iPhone users to take snaps of vehicles and then edit them to add some serious, but fake, dents and scratches. Naturally, the pranking session was caught on video, where you can enjoy the sight of poor product specialists freaking out over damage to vehicles ranging from the Mercedes-Maybach S600 to the Audi R8 and a lovely Dodge Challenger. Take a look. News Source: howtoPRANKitup via YouTube, The Detroit News Humor Detroit Auto Show Audi Dodge Mercedes-Benz Coupe Luxury Performance Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show prank
