Up for auction is my 2004 Dodge Ram. It is a 2500 ST with 4 wheel drive, automatic transmission and Cummins turbo diesel engine. I have owned the truck since I bought it new in late 2004. I have used the truck for about 50% work/50% personal use since then. I am in the process of selling my current landscape business and need to replace this truck with a small car for my new commute. Over the years I have kept up on the maintenance well and most commonly worn out stuff has been replaced at least once. The most costly being the transmission & torque converter, which was completely rebuilt and upgraded with heavy duty parts about 6000 miles ago ($4800). Documentation will be provided. The truck is overall pretty clean for being in the Northeast which I attribute to very frequent washing including the underneath. The truck does have a plow on it (8' Sno-Way 29HD with wireless controller) which was installed February 2011. We had very little snow for the rest of that winter, very little snow for winter 2011-2012, and well under average snowfall this past year so the truck has not really plowed that much snow. I will include the plow for $2000 over and above the winning bid amount. It was over $5500 and documentation will be provided. 


The Ram runs perfect. It is, I believe what they call a 2004.5 model with the HO 325HP/600 engine. The engine starts and runs with no issues, no abnormal smoke and is all stock. Fuel and air filter changed yearly. Engine oil and filter changed every 3000-4000 miles with either Rotella T or more recently Delo 400. It has never had an aftermarket air filter or computer programmer in it. The exhaust is an aftermarket MBRP stainless steel system because at the time it was less expensive than factory parts. It didn't seem to change anything about the truck. It is not quiet however. Not ridiculously loud, but not quiet as stock parts would have been. The transmission, as stated above, was completely rebuilt by the best transmission specialist in our region. Heavy duty torque converter (they build them in their own separate facility), heavy duty clutches etc. I specified the use of the truck (multi use, some heavy towing) and they took it from there. It works/shifts like new and is not noticeably more abrupt shifting and seems to have about the same as stock stall speed. The transfer case was also disassembled and re-sealed, at the same time, since it had a slight leak coming from the center gasket. It also works like new. The front and rear differentials have never been apart and have no problems. The t-case, and differentials have been serviced every 30Kmi or so with Amsoil lubricants.  Front U-joints have been done a number of times and are still good. Front 4wd driveshaft was rebuilt locally at Albany Universal about a year and a half ago. Rear u-joints were just replaced over the winter. Ball joints, tie rod ends, track bar bushings etc. have all been replaced with Moog components. Front wheel bearing assemblies have been replaced with the best ones I could get. The batteries and alternator were replaced late last summer. The tires are Cooper Discoverer AT3's and were put on new over the winter along with an alignment (which was almost perfect before adjustments anyway). The tires are still in great shape with only a few thousand miles on them. They are good in the snow, but noisier in the dry weather than the previous sets of Cooper tires I have had on the truck. I also have a set of chrome stock wheels with very worn Nokian snow tires that I will include in case you want to have a set of snow or spare tires for the truck. The Patriot Blue body color is nice but there is some small dents and dings and a number of scratches. There is some bubbles showing on the bottom edge of the tailgate and a spot on the passenger door where I believe there was a rock chip. Largely the body is rust free. Part of the drivers side door was just repainted due to having a big dent in the center of it that could not be pulled out. I took specific pictures of the most important defects (top edge of tailgate, lower rear left by rear bumper, driver door ding by door handle). Inside of bed has many dings and scratches, no major damage and no rot. Rear bumper has a dented area from someone running into it while parked. Front bumper has a number of small dings/dents from using it to push race cars up the ramp into my garage when they couldn't be driven. Nothing major. The interior is in good shape. There are no holes worn into the floor covering. Few scratches in the plastic panels here and there. There is a Tekonsha Prodigy brake controller installed as well as an Alpine AM/FM/CD player to replace the factory cassette deck. I would not hesitate to drive the truck anywhere, anytime. I have gotten as high as 18.12 MPG in summertime with the truck. 

Notable "Bad Stuff": Front seal on engine leaks some oil. Not enough to have to add oil between oil changes, but still a nuisance. The steering box leaks some power steering fluid. Again, not enough to have to top off the fluid regularly, but a nuisance and I have had to add fluid in the reservior once. The Air Conditioning has not worked on the few almost hot days we have had this spring. Has always worked fine prior. As the pictures show, there is the common driver seat hole in the upholstery. I spoke with a local auto upholsterer and they gave a quote of $300-$325 to restore the foam and recover that section of the seat with matching fabric. The red reflector on the passenger side door panel is missing and I have no idea when it popped out. Air bag light has been on for a couple years. I have no idea why, just noticed it was on one morning when I started the truck. 

Please ask any questions you have. I have pictured and described the truck the best I can. I have great feedback and have sold a number of motor vehicles and pieces of equipment on Ebay over the years. Since this is my last vehicle to sell, I am going to need payment promptly. I will store the truck for as long as the buyer needs, but I need to have payment in full within 5 days from the end of the auction. Please have your finances in order. Payment can be made with cash, or a certified check. I will not take Paypal for any amount. I will not take any trades or any other forms of payment. The title is clean and clear, and I can sign it over and express mail it to the buyer once payment is made. 

On another note, I just thought of the Autocheck that Ebay provides. I have no way of viewing that, or its contents prior to listing. I will assume that the truck gets a low score, due to the fact that it has been re-registered a few times over the time I owned it. Originally, Albany Dodge made some kind of mistake with the registration or titling process and had to re-do all of that paperwork thru the Department of Motor Vehicles. Another instance I did re-title the truck from my name, into my landscape business for insurance purposes. All of the time the truck was kept at my home address and was driven by me for probably 116K of the miles that are currently on the truck. It was not driven by employees or kids or anyone else. The truck has never been in any accidents or anything like that. Never flooded, wrecked, in a fire, stolen, totalled or anything like that.  One time I did report an incident to a local police officer where I came out of traffic court from paying a DOT ticket and someone had parked there minivan right into the drawbar inserted into the trailer hitch. They didn't even back up. Of all places to run into a guys truck...  The truck obviously had no damage thanks to me never taking the drawbar out of the hitch receiver. I thought about just leaving but didn't want to let the minivan driver get away with driving like an A-hole, so I went back in and let one of the officers write it up. Thought I would disclose all of that in case it shows up on the Autocheck.

Cars.com runs 11-second quarter with Dodge Charger Hellcat

Mon, Jun 1 2015

The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and its Challenger sibling are two of the heroes of the modern performance world. With a headline-grabbing 707 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, their output even shames many supercars. But how quick can one really cover a quarter mile? Cars.com recently decided to find out by taking a Charger Hellcat to the drag strip to see if the sedan lived up to Dodge's 11-second claims. The results were quite impressive. After 13 quarter-mile runs of adjusting variables like the tire pressures and the car's various electronic aids, the Charger Hellcat managed a pass in 11.03 seconds at 126.61 mph – the pinnacle result of the day. This car was mechanically stock and wore the optional Pirelli P Zero tires. According to Cars.com, other quick sprints reached 11.09 seconds and 11.1 seconds, which even beat the site's 11.41-second best from a Challenger Hellcat last year. Getting the Hellcat's prodigious power down without losing traction was a challenge, even on the summer tires. Cars.com thought it had a run that could have dropped below 11 seconds, but then the wheels spun. Using the factory-recommended pressures, the Charger Hellcat was no still slouch with an 11.27-second time recorded, but taking things down to 25 psi proved the quickest at the strip. We already knew that the Charger Hellcat was a wonderful vehicle for eating up huge gulps of asphalt at high speeds and could verify its 204-mile-per-hour top speed (quite a bit faster, incidentally, than the Ferrari California T's 196 mph top-speed). Apparently, the 11-second quarter-mile claim is just as accurate. Also, for any curious owners, the Cars.com story divulges many of the tweaks required to reach this seriously quick time.

Viper owners raising money to retake the Nurburgring lap record

Thu, Jan 19 2017

Nurburgring lap times – unofficial as they may be – are the locker room comparison contest of the automotive world. For several years, the lap record of 7:12:13 was held by a 2011 Dodge Viper ACR. The Viper and America were the rulers of the roost until the usurper, the Porsche 918, came in a stole the crown. The death knell is ringing for the Viper, and a group of owners are raising money to send the car to the 'Ring for one last chance at glory. The current Dodge Viper ACR is an astonishingly capable car. All of the flaws that make it miserable to live with everyday - stiff suspension, obnoxious exhaust, speed-bump-gouging splitter - make it one of the most formidable road-legal track machines ever created. Unfortunately, that single-purpose nature turned off a lot of customers, and slow sales have led to the end of Viper production. The Viper holds lap records on more than a dozen of tracks, but, like a driver winning the Indianapolis 500, only one belt notch truly matters. The ViperExchange is willing to supply two ACRs and two drivers well versed in the Nurburgring in order to retake the record. The problem with attempting to set the record is mostly down to logistics. According to the GoFundMe page, the total cost to send the cars, pay for the track, the supplies, and operating expenses is about $150,000 and $200,000. The group says this is entirely a volunteer effort and are asking for donations to fund the Viper's return. Those wishing to help replant the stars and stripes and fill the forests of Germany with the truck-like roar of an odd-firing V10 can donate online. If they fall short, donations will be returned.

Aficionauto drives Vin Diesel's fast and furious 1970 Dodge Charger

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

The Aficionauto host Christopher Rutkowski has a real passion for original and replica cars from movies and television, whether they are from James Bond, Jurassic Park, or incredibly obscure Japanese shows. However, he might have outdone himself this time because he hopped into one of the biggest automotive stars of contemporary cinema. This 1970 Dodge Charger appeared in Fast & Furious and came back in Fast Five, where Paul Walker actually drove it. The menacing, black muscle car will make its return to the franchise in the seventh film, too.
The Fast and Furious Charger is a real beast no matter how you look at it. The interior is nothing more than two seats and a roll cage, and as the video shows, this thing vibrates constantly like a coiled mass of muscle ready to strike. The camera can barely stay in place most of the time. Also, Dom's Dodge is more than happy to do a smoky burnout and leave the driver partially deaf afterward from its wonderful, ear-splitting engine roar.
The Aficionauto also interviews the man who controls the keys to this beast. Bob Hartwig was once an F-15 pilot, but he also loved Hollywood vehicles. Now, he's a partner at Picture Car Warehouse, a company with about 850 cars that supplies vehicles to film studios. This Charger definitely seems to be Hartwig's favorite in the collection, as it should be.
