Up for auction is this 1 family owned and NO accidents 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT crew cab with the 5.9 HO cummins turbo diesel. It is a ONE family owned truck, purchased new by the father. It has 255k miles on it, and has been well taken care of. The heaviest thing it pulled was an 18' enclosed trailer, never gooseneck or 5th wheeled. The Body is above average for the miles, only some minor dings and some wear on the tailgate, which still opens and closes fine. One ding in rear bumper. The engine is perfect, idles smooth, runs perfect, no smoke and no blowby. Engine and trans are original to the truck and still perform great. You can drive this truck home anywhere. The trip computer shows it averaging 24.7 mpg. I am calculating more like 23 at the pum, which is still incredible for a heavy duty truck! The interior is above average for an 05 with this mileage. It does have moderate to heavy wear on the driver's seat which is to be expected. It is still very comfortable and there are seat covers over the front seats. The front drivers seat is power and works great. All gauges work properly, and the dash has NO cracks. The tires are 295/70/17 and are mud terrains with about half tread remaining. Wheels are factory premium aluminum wheels. New parts within the last 4 months are as follows: front brakes, power steering pump, 2 new batteries, new alternator, and all new front suspension bushings-tie rods, control arm bushings etc. almost $2000 worth. It is ready to roll. ANyone who knows these trucks knows 255k is just broke in for a 5.9 HO common rail diesel. These arent bogged down with emissions crap like the 2007+ 6.7 engines, so these are the most sought after of all diesels. You will be hard pressed to find a better truck for the money. THis is an SLT, not a stripper work truck model. Options include Power windows, locks, driver's seat, upgraded aluminum wheels, tow package, trip computer, cruise, tilt, fog lights, center console with double storage compartments, etc. Please serious bidders only I am listing this truck at NO RESERVE! You will not find a better deal, please bid to win. That being said, i reserve the right to end this auction at any time for any reason, as truck is for sale locally. Truck sold as is, no warranty expressed or implied. Please feel free to ask with any questions. Thanks and good luck!

Hero gets his truck back better than new thanks to community support [w/video]
Sun, 29 Jun 2014You ever hear a story and start cringing before you hear the end because you know how it's going to turn out? That could very well have been the case with the story from a few weeks ago in West Valley City, Utah, where a 14-year-old kid stole his grandfather's Hyundai Veloster and took it for a joyride - through a park full of children. But instead it turned into a heart-warming tale of heroism and a community banding together to do what's right... and then some.
Bryson Rowley was that hero who identified the danger and, rather than sit idly by and watch the joyrider potentially run over a child, got into his truck and drove it into the menacing runaway hatchback. The collision caused some $7,500 to his 2008 Dodge Ram 2500, but instead of getting stuck with the bill - one which his insurance may very well have refused to pay since the crash was, technically speaking, intentional - his community pitched in a helping hand.
Bryan Ellison, who owns West Valley Carstar with his brother, saw the news on television and wanted to help. So he brought Rowley a rental car, picked up his truck and brought it back to his auto repair shop. People from around the community donated parts, and when all was said and done, some $15,000 of work and upgrades were performed on the Ram that was returned to an overwhelmed Bryson Rowley better than new. Watch the video below for the full story.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat #0001 raises $825,000 for charity
Sun, 28 Sep 2014$60,000 doesn't strike us as a lot to pay for a muscle car with 707 horsepower on tap. $825,000... now that's a different story. But, according to the official SRT blog, that's how much one generous and eager buyer paid for the privilege of getting his (or her) hands on the very first new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
Decked out in Stryker Red paint that's usually reserved for the Viper, the supercharged Challenger bearing the VIN 0001 went up for auction at the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino in Las Vegas on Saturday under the auspices of Barrett-Jackson. By the time bidding ended, the gavel dropped at $825,000 - nearly 14 times the sticker price - 100 percent of which will benefit Opportunity Vehicle, a charity that aids the intellectually handicapped in the Las Vegas Area.
Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
