1997 Dodge 2500 diesel 4x4. 

225,000 miles. 

This truck is a beast, and I hate to see it go.

Lifted, sitting on kumho 315/75/r15s. 

NV4500 5 speed transmission

Added within the last year and a half:

4'' turbo back exhaust (included in sale is muffler delete pipe)
Dual steering stabilizers
Steering Gear box stabilizer
Custom air intake with massive air filter
Custom Tailgate
Flat Green Paint job
Heavy duty steel rear bumper, bolted and welded on
Custom wheels
Fog lights
Grill Guard
Seat Covers
Toolbox
Custom Tailgate


Replaced within the past year and a half:

Clutch (Upgraded to a badass south bend dual-disc, priced at $1200 before install)
All tie rod ends
Ball Joints
Track bar
Front wheel bearings
Steering stabilizer
Transmission rebuilt
Transfer case rebuilt (may still need to be adjusted out)
New belts


Replaced within the past few months:

Carrier Bearing
U-joints
Master Cylinder 
Hydro-boost assembly
air pump
Power steering pump
Power steering gear box
Timing adjusted
Low pressure fuel pump replaced
Rear transfer case seal replaced


At this point i've been nearly through the whole truck mechanically. It's a little rough on the inside, and could use a new dash. It leaks a little bit of oil, but thats nothing unusual for one of these trucks. The transfer case likes to make a clicking noise in 4wd high over 30 mph. Think it may need to be rebuilt. Still works fine in 2wd.. The drivers side door will not lock. Probably just needs a new motor. 

Clear Texas title in my name.

That being said, this truck looks, sounds, and drives great. Handles itself well on road or off. 


Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thanks,

Billy

Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).

Mopar '15 performance kit now available for Dodge Charger R/T

Tue, Jun 9 2015

Dodge is releasing a new Mopar performance kit for the 2015 Charger R/T sedan, offering up just 50 examples of the dealer-installed upgrade package. Only a select few dealers will sell the kit, and they'll do so at a price of $3,550. As per usual, the Mopar kit makes both performance and aesthetic changes. For the 5.7-liter Hemi V8, upgrades include the Stage 1 Scat Pack kit, which adds a cat-back exhaust and cold-air intake, good for 18 additional horsepower and 18 more pound-feet of torque. There's also a new strut tower brace and a "premium fuel powertrain control module." Aesthetic changes are remarkably simple, with matte black body-side decals being the only notable addition to the exterior. In the cabin, there's a serialized dash plaque and new door sill plates. This is the sixth Mopar special edition since 2009. If you wish to join this fairly exclusive fraternity of Dodge owners, dealers are currently accepting orders, with deliveries slated to start later this month. Scroll down for the official press release from Dodge.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
