Up for Sale is a 1993 Dodge Diesel with an Allison 545 Transmission.
The truck runs and drives good and I have owned it since 2008. I have been using it to haul my 12ft trailer with 2 lawn mowers for my lawncare business. The original transmission went out in 2011 and I parked it for about a year while I converted it from the crappy dodge tranny to a bulletproof Allison. I mounted an Allison 545 Transmission and in the process I put in a new starter, and serviced the rear end. I had also put a new Alternator and new brakes a few months before the transmission went out.
The Engine has about 360,000 miles but the odometer/speedometer has not worked since I put in the Allison so it currently reads 343,XXX. I normally use a GPS speedometer app on my phone to keep track of speed when going down the highway. I also need to mention that highway driving on this truck is currently not the best because the allison in it is a 4 speed with out overdrive and so I ussually cruise between 55-60mph. I have an overdrive unit that I wanted to put on the truck but it is missing a yoke and I the local transmission shop could not find a yoke for it. (The overdrive unit is 33% previous owner said it was on his motorhome C6 available for $400. Just recover my investment.)
Engine starts and runs well even in cold weather. There is a video of me starting the car in 28 degree weather and that is what you can expect when its cold and not plugged in. The video does not show it but that exhaust has a break somewhere before it comes out. I change the oil every 3,000 Miles but I ussually have to add a quart between oil changes. I believe that it is mostly due to an oil leak because I have noticed drops of oil on the garage floor. I also believe that it only leaks when its running.
After I spent an year converting the truck, I found that the heater blower only works on low now which is not enough heat during the cold months. Before this, the heater blower worked on all speeds but the slider between the hott and the cold side has always been stuck on the red. Truck has never had AC and so that was never an issue because I could simply turn the blower off during the summer months.
The last thing that I can think of is the fact that there is sometimes a click noise that seems to come when turning. I took the truck to a body shop and spent about $1200 on new front end parts that included new ball joints and tie rod ends, alignment and balancing but that did not fix the click noise. Its there but the mechanics could not find anything wrong in the suspension.
The truck has an alpine cd player and amplifier for entertainment.
Below is a link to see truck running. Unfortunately, the truck had ran about 3 hours ealier so this is not a pure cold start. The cold starts ussually take about 3-5 seconds of cranking. When its warm it fires up right away like a cummins.

Dodge Challenger Hellcat drift video is pure horsepower porn
Fri, Mar 27 2015We could listen to the whining, snarling 6.2-liter Hemi V8 in the Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcats all day long. The noise just sounds like power that's being barely restrained and is everything about a muscle car that's right. The team at Pennzoil apparently understands that allure, too. The oil company has a new video where it lets the engine roar for over a minute, while a Challenger does some big, smoky drifts through an abandoned city. The whole stunt is edited together in a slickly produced way that looks fantastic. Although, the big finale might go a little too far and starts straining believability. Nonetheless, the Hellcat's wonderful noise is still the star of this show. Related Video:
Big rig gets blown over on Wyoming freeway, flattens police cruiser
Sun, Feb 12 2017A big rig navigating a stretch of windy Wyoming highway last week was blown over by high winds and landed on a Wyoming Highway Patrol cruiser. According to CBS News, three Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers responded to an accident along Interstate 80 near Elk Mountain on February 7. While the troopers were out of their cars assisting the crash victims, a white Volvo semi-truck lumbered up I-80 toward them. Wind gusts in that part of Wyoming were clocked in at up to 90 miles per hour on Tuesday, and one of them caught the semi as it neared the parked cruisers. Video from one of the cruiser's onboard cameras showed the big rig drift to the right as a big gust hit the trailer. Slowly, the whole rig tipped over and flattened one of the parked cruisers. The truck then slid a few feet on its side and came to a stop just aft of the cruiser. None of the troopers were injured in the incident, and two people in the truck came out of it unhurt as well. Patrol Lieutenant David Wagener told KGWN that that stretch of I-80 was closed on Tuesday to lightweight, high-profile vehicles. The truck driver was cited for the incident. High winds are no joke, and vehicles getting blown around or even clean off the road is a pretty common phenomenon. Way back in 2011, a truck got blown over in Utah. Then there was a train that got blown off a bridge in Louisiana in 2015.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has 707 glorious horsepower [w/video]
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Hold onto your butts. "600-plus horsepower" is what we were told to expect from the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 engine. But as we've just learned, those were incredibly conservative numbers. Dodge has officially announced that the range-topping Challenger will hit the asphalt with 707 - seven hundred and seven - horsepower, making it the "most powerful muscle car ever."
Of course, 707 hp is only part of the story, as the Hellcat has also been confirmed to produce 650 pound-feet of torque. All that power will run exclusively to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission that differs from other Challengers. The new gearbox, 8HP90 (rather than the 8HP70) is "upgraded to handle the extra power and torque," says Dan Reid, SRT's manager of product design and motorsports.
We certainly hope you're prepared to spend a ton of money replacing tires.
