Selling our 2003 Dodge Ram with the 5.9 Cummins High Output engine.  This truck has the 48re transmission with the 305hp / 555ft-lbs TQ.  I've personally owned this vehicle for a little over 2 years now and its been my daily driver as well as my heavy hauler.  95% of the miles on the truck are light duty unloaded daily driver miles, while the other 5% are pulling a 12k lb trailer.  I have serviced the engine, transmission, brakes, and rear end regularly.  The transmission got it's band adjustments along with a fluid exchange about 8,000 miles ago.  The previous owner had kept an extensive service records and receipts and they are available for whoever is interested in buying this truck.  This used truck is not perfect, but I will highlight the good and the bad below.  I have 100% positive feedback here and have sold many vehicles and other things on eBay in the past.  Bid with confidence and feel free to ask questions.

The Good:

1. Engine runs great - no smoke, leaks, serviced regularly, valves adjusted, runs flawlessly, never chipped!

2. Transmission shifts flawlessly - Fluid exchange, band adjustments, serviced properly and regularly, no leaks

3. Steering / front end - Very tight front end....Ball joints, tie-rods ends, and rack 'n' pinion all in great condition.  Great steering feel!

4. Brakes - front brakes just replaced...rotors turned and new brake pads, flushed brake fluid, rear brakes have 80% pad left.....no squealing, pulsating, or pulling to either side. 

5. Interior - No rips, stains, never smoked in.  Dash is cracked, other than that, interior is in great shape.

6. Exterior - 7 out of 10. No large body damage, however, the body has the typical rock chips and some scratches here in there, but nothing major at all.  Great looking truck!

7. Bed - Short Bed with spray in bedliner, no goose neck hitch or 5th wheel ever installed.

9. Tires - 75% tread left on Michelin ATX "E" rated tires

10. Gets 18-19mpg mixed driving, 20-22mpg hwy, 11-13mpg towing a 30ft enclosed trailer 12,000lbs @ 70mph

11. I installed an autometer trans temp gauge on a single A-Pillar pod to keep an eye on the trans temps...When pulling I have never seen anything over 190*.

 

The Bad:

1. Door power locks stopped working in 3 of 4 doors.  Driver front door is only door that pwr door locks/keyless works

2. Heat/A/C vents don't change with selector knob.  It seems to be stuck on the front vents / floor vents.  Heat and A/C work great, just the selector doesnt seem to work. 

3. Dash is badly cracked.  Common for Dodge Trucks.  However, there is a nice $50 custom fitted microsuede dash cover that I recently put on the dash...It does look really nice.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.

Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.

FCA issuing software update for 1.4M vehicles to prevent hacking

Fri, Jul 24 2015

In the wake of a Jeep Cherokee being hacked remotely while on the road through its Uconnect infotainment system, FCA US is now issuing a software update for 1.4 million vehicles in the United States. Affected customers will receive a USB stick in the mail with the improved version; owners can check this website to see if their cars are affected. A large variety of models with FCA's 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system are affected. They include the 2015 Chrysler 200, 2015 Chrysler 300, 2015 Dodge Charger, and 2015 Dodge Challenger; 2013-2015 Dodge Viper; 2013-2015 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500; 2013-2015 Ram 3500, 4500, and 5500 chassis cab; 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Cherokee; and 2014-2015 Dodge Durango. According to FCA in its announcement, the new software "insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation." As of July 23, the company also "fully tested and implemented within the cellular network" additional security to prevent access to many of a vehicle's systems. FCA US says that it's conducting this campaign out of an abundance of caution and disputes the notion that there's a defect with these vehicles. Beyond the demonstration of the hack in the Cherokee, the automaker says that it's unaware of any other reports of these attacks actually happening. Related Video: Statement: Software Update July 24, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is conducting a voluntary safety recall to update software in approximately 1,400,000 U.S. vehicles equipped with certain radios. The recall aligns with an ongoing software distribution that insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation, which, if unauthorized, constitutes criminal action. Further, FCA US has applied network-level security measures to prevent the type of remote manipulation demonstrated in a recent media report. These measures – which required no customer or dealer actions – block remote access to certain vehicle systems and were fully tested and implemented within the cellular network on July 23, 2015. The Company is unaware of any injuries related to software exploitation, nor is it aware of any related complaints, warranty claims or accidents – independent of the media demonstration.
