In The Red
1995 Dodge Ram 3500 Turbo Diesel frame off restomod show go and tow, legendary Cummins 12 valve engine, a heavy duty (15 ton GVW) 9 Speed Eaton Fuller RoadRanger transmission which allows smooth shifts with little RPM drop between gears, 22.5 Alcoa Aluminuim Semi wheels with new 255/70 22.5 tires, 5200lb air bag helpers, 2 gal 12v air supply, marine air horns and 6" chrome stacks.
We started with a completely stock rust free truck then took it down to the bare frame and built it up with the modifications to get everything fitting then took it back down, stripped it to bare metal then sprayed the frame, suspension and underside with satin black industrial enamel then stripped the body panels to bare metal and layed on 4 coats of acrylic urethane red and 4 coats of acrylic urethane clear coat then it got color sanded and buffed to the brilliant shine you see. We built the engine with a complete engine rebuild kit then sprayed it and the tranny the same color as the truck. It is bored 40 over, has a rebuilt injection pump, new lift pump, rebuilt 215hp injectors with new nozzles (from a 97 truck), new oil pump, rebuilt head. The transmission has been fully disassembled and inspected and is like new as with the rear axle. It has all new front end parts including upper and lower ball joints, tie rod ends, idle arm, pitman arm, rotors, brake pads, rebuilt calipers and steering gear box.
We dropped one leaf spring on the rear to give it a somewhat smoother ride then added Dominator 5200lb air bag helpers mounted with extra heavy duty weld on mounts and heavy duty traction bars to keep the rear end from twisting from all the torque the engine and 9 speed make. Complete tow package includes 2" receiver and goose neck ball with electrical connector at the receiver and in the bed for a gooseneck and a digital trailer brake controller. The connectors are 7 pin spade type. The bed was sprayed with bed coating and got a thick rubber mat with a diamond plate design.
Extra power and cooler EGT's is generated with 215hp injectors, a K&N Cold Air Intake and a 4" inch downpipe into 6" Stacks. The injector pump has been turned up a little and it has a boost elbow set at 28 lbs boost. The pump and the boost can be turned up more or decreased by the turn of a few screws. The turbo housing and intercooler tubes are powder coated red and we added new performance boots.
The interior was completely gutted and rebuilt with a new OEM dash and black leather seats with red double stitch, new carpet and headliner. While we where in there we disassembled the AC/Heat cavity and cleaned the AC evaporater core and heater core. The AC also got a new condensor and filter dryer... blows ice cold like it should. It has a Alpine stereo/cd/usb with the stock six speaker system which works and sounds great. I just load up a usb drive and plug it in. It's a Laramie model truck with power windows and we added fold out power tow mirrors. The seat was power but we swapped that for a manual seat for reliability.
The 2gal air supply is a Viar 12v 140psi unit mounted in the bed that supplies air for the transmission, air horns and rear air bags. A double needle gauge at the dash monitors system air pressure as well as air bag pressure. We have an on/off switch for the compressor and an up/down swtich for the rear bags. The compressor has an automatic cutoff switch that we changed to a 110psi for added compressor life. We also added a quick connector air supply.
We added 2 new 31 series commercial batteries and moved them to the bed of the truck. Custom metal covers where made for the batteries and air compressor. It has Isspro gauges, Pyrometer, Fuel Pressure and Boost all on the pillar pod with it's own dimmer switch for the gauge back lights.
Now for the fine print:
This truck is 99% complete and ready to show, go and tow. Drive it anywhere. It runs great, the transmission shifts great, it has lots of power, it's very comfortable, the air works great and the stereo sounds great, it looks great as you can see. However, there are a few things that could be done to make it better. The fog lights, driver auto door lock and the cruise don't work. The tires are brand new and will probably last like, forever, but they're not premium tires and do not have a great ride. A set of premium tires would greatly improve the ride and drive of this truck. This truck is half pickup and half big rig and it rides and drives somewhere between a big rig and a pickup. If your interested in this truck because you want a great driving smooth ride then move on. On the other hand if your interested in towing around town or showing it off then go for it. The 9 speed RoadRanger does not have overdrive but the 37" tires somewhat makes up for it. The truck tops out at 78mph at 2800rpm's. This truck is something I dreamed about as a teenager and I did get it 99% done but health and financial issues are against me. Maybe your a dreamer and ready to finish what I started and by the way ... you can't tell it's not 100% percent by looking at it.
As of this writing it has less than 100 miles on it.
Purchased from an individual in the Baton Rouge area in 2011 in stock non running condition. Then we done the frame off restomod.
The high bidder is responsible for delivery. I will be glad to help the shipper get it loaded. Paypal payment of $500 due within 2 days and balance in cash within 7 days.
If your interested in bidding on this truck I urge you to come by and check it out in person. Call Robert at 601-620-3118.

2016 Jeep Wrangler recalled over impact sensor wiring
Thu, Oct 20 2016Fiat Chrysler just announced a pair of recalls totaling nearly 311,000 units. The bigger recall affects certain 2016 and 2017 model year Jeep Wranglers. Although, since FCA claims all of the affected 2017s are in the company's hands, really, only 2016 owners should pay attention here. The affected Wranglers suffer from an issue where wiring disconnects from impact sensors in certain types of crashes, potentially preventing the airbags and pretensioners from activating. FCA uncovered the problem in what its press release calls "a routine, in-house crash test" and claims "service availability is imminent." The affected Jeeps require a simple rewiring. The other recall, announced Tuesday, is more of a fleet issue, affecting 2007 to 2013 model-year Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups and 3500, 4500, and 5500 chassis cabs and 2011 to 2014 Dodge Charger Pursuit police vehicles. There's a problem with "premature diode wear" in alternators that are subject to "frequent load cycling, at or near maximum amperage, [or] in hot ambient temperatures." Affected alternators could short out, causing a vehicle to stall or potentially catch fire. FCA lists 182,743 affected Wranglers in the US, 18,011 in Canada, 3,087 in Mexico, and 20,948 in global markets. The Ram/ Charger Pursuit recall lists 74,833 vehicles in the US, 10,077 in Canada, 1,088 in Mexico, and 134 outside the NAFTA region. Of all those vehicles, the Jeep recall hasn't caused any injuries or fatalities, while FCA says it's aware of one "potentially related injury" and no accidents due to its fleet vehicle recall. FCA says it will notify owners/operators of affected vehicles when service appointments are available. As per usual, all the work is free of charge. Related Video:
This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome
Fri, Dec 5 2014The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.

Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot boards meet to finalize merger
Tue, Dec 17 2019MILAN/PARIS — The boards of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Peugeot will meet separately on Tuesday to discuss finalizing an initial agreement for a $50 billion merger to create the world's number four carmaker, sources said. A source close to FCA said the two companies could announce the signing of a binding memorandum early on Wednesday, followed by a conference call to explain further details later in the day. The two mid-sized carmakers announced plans six weeks ago for a tie-up to help them deal with big challenges in the industry, including a global demand downturn and the need to develop costly cleaner cars to meet looming anti-pollution rules. Ahead of the meetings, entities representing the Peugeot family, Etablissements Peugeot Freres (EPF) and FFP, unanimously approved a proposed memorandum of understanding for the planned merger, a source familiar with the situation said. FCA and PSA have said they would seek to finalize a deal by year-end to create a group with 8.7 million in annual vehicle sales. That would put it fourth globally behind Volkswagen, Toyota and the Renault-Nissan alliance. PSA's Carlos Tavares will be chief executive and FCA's John Elkann — the scion of Italy's Agnelli family, which controls FCA through their holding company Exor — chairman of the combined company. The group will include the Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Peugeot, DS, Opel and Vauxhall brands, allowing it to serve mass and premium passenger car markets as well as those for trucks and light commercial vehicles.
