Im selling my 2005 dodge ram 2500 quad cab slt. I bought this truck equipped with a hemi and it was tired. I decided the next best thing to do was to give her more power! I removed the engine and replaced it with a 150k mile 12v cummins from a 1997 pickup. behind that is a 47rh equipped with a heavy duty(not billet) torque converter with shift kit. before I installed the engine I replaced the timing cover seals, the tappet cover gasket, valve cover gaskets. unfortunately with this swap I could not get all the gauges to function, in the original cluster the only functional gauges are the speedo and fuel gauge. I installed an oil pressure gauge in the left heater vent and a triple pillar gauge pod with boost, egt, and fuel pressure(fuel pressure not hooked up). the a/c and cruise were also never reinstalled. other than the gauges the truck is great I have put 6k to 7k miles on it since the swap was completed, Don't get me wrong you may find some things that need to be tinkered with, remember it was a hemi! I drive it daily on a 80 mile round trip averaging around 18 to 19 mpg. IF your looking for a brand new truck,, this isn't it! it runs and looks great, fires up everytime!
also the digital shift indicator in the cluster is non functional as the 47rh has no way for me to make it read. also if you know anything about this transmission swap then you know there are 2 ways to make the overdrive and torque converter lockup function, I opted to use toggle switchs mounted to the left of the steering column below headlamp switch, overdrive at 40mph, and lockup at 50mph has been my rule of thumb.
in the last year ive owned this truck ive replaced the following with new parts! all tierods with updated steering , new steering box, new intermediate steering shaft, new steering box stabilizer, new balljoints, dual steering stabilizers, front and rear pads and rotors, new rear calipers, bilstein front shocks,
truck has 2'' leveling kit in front, 1'' block in rear, Kelly safari tsr 315-70-17 with almost 3/4 life left, and dick cepek rims
exhaust is a 4''turbo back no muffler, sounds badass.
body has its typical scratchs for a truck this age, there is a dent/tear by the right headlamp about 3inch long, a soft dent behind right fender flare, rust spot along passenger side of hood, rust spot about 6in long on top of passenger door, rear bumper has rust but is hard to tell its painted black,
I would not be scared to drive this truck anywere,
interior is pretty clean, could use a recon, there is a rip on the edge of driver seat which ive had seat covers on since I bought it,
transfer case is a 271d, driveshafts are freshly balanced and rear has new u joints,
body has 190k, cluster says 124k, engine has 150k and trans was said to have 97k when swapped,
any questions feel free to text me at 607-201-8520
but DONT text me and ask if a/c and cruise can be installed or if I can make the tach work, cuz I cant,.
this truck is driveable as I do drive it almost everyday!! it is not a piece of crap, don't assume that, its an awesome truck , work truck, project truck, or just drive it daily the way it is,
it passes ny inspection , but I DO NOT know it will pass inspection in other states. , no muffler, no cat, no computer,
here it gets inspected as a 3/4 ton truck which is safety only.

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
2013 Dodge Dart gets all Moparized
Fri, 08 Feb 2013Last year, Chrysler announced it would be offering more than 150 Mopar parts and accessories on the 2013 Dodge Dart, and we got a look at some of these parts firsthand at the Chicago Auto Show. Showing off all the optional parts at once would surely create a gaudy monstrosity, so Chrysler chose to equip this particular Dart GT with just a handful of Mopar goodies, which still gave the car a nice and tasteful custom look that is available straight from the dealership (and with a full warranty, too).
Decked out in a factory color called Header Orange Clear Coat - also a very appropriate show car hue - this car added exterior styling parts such as the vented, carbon fiber hood, the bolt-on front chin spoiler and a matte black decklid spoiler. Looking inside the car, you'd think the red-accented interior is part of the Mopar parts bin, too, but this is actually what the standard Dart GT cabin will look like when it goes on sale.
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.
