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.

2013 Dodge Charger AWD Sport
Tue, 29 Jan 2013We won't beat around the bush: The all-wheel-drive Dodge Charger is not a brand new car. This generation launched in 2011, AWD models and all. But for 2013, Chrysler has added an optional sport package to the AWD model, available with both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 or the sweet, sweet 5.7-liter Hemi V8. The upgrades for this new sport pack are mainly cosmetic; a gloss black grille, new 19-inch alloy wheels and body-colored rear spoiler make up the list of exterior changes. Inside, there are new sport seats and paddle shifters, and the eight-speed automatic transmission has been reflashed for better performance.
But because vehicles like the Dodge Charger mainly stick out in our minds as being rear-drive bruisers, Chrysler wanted to give us the opportunity to test out the LX platform's foul-weather prowess. And perhaps no place more appropriate to test such a system was way up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the dead of winter.
Driving Notes
China-FCA merger could be a win-win for everyone but politicians
Tue, Aug 15 2017NEW YORK — Fiat Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne has said the car industry needs to come together, cut costs and stop incinerating capital. So far, his words have mostly fallen on deaf ears among competitors in Europe and North America. But it appears Marchionne has finally found a receptive audience — in China. FCA shares soared Monday after trade publication Automotive News reported the $18 billion Italian-American conglomerate controlled by the Agnelli family rebuffed a takeover from an unidentified carmaker from the Chinese mainland. As ugly as the politics of such a combination may appear at first blush, a transaction could stack up industrially, and perhaps even financially. A Sino-U.S.-European merger would create the first truly global auto group. That could push consolidation to the next level elsewhere. Moreover, China is the world's top market for the SUVs that Jeep effectively invented, so it might benefit FCA financially. A combo would certainly help upgrade the domestic manufacturer; Chinese carmakers have gotten better at making cars, but struggle to build global brands, and they need to develop export markets. Though frivolous overseas shopping excursions by Chinese enterprises are being reined in by Beijing, acquisitions that support the modernization and transformation of strategic industries still receive support, and the government considers the automotive industry to be strategic. A purchase of FCA by Guangzhou Automobile, Great Wall or Dongfeng Motors would probably get the same stamp of approval ChemChina was given for its $43 billion takeover of Syngenta. What's standing in the way? Apart from price (Automotive News said FCA's board deemed the offer insufficient) there's the not-insignificant matter of politics. Even as FCA shares soared, President Donald Trump interrupted his vacation to instruct the U.S. Trade Representative to look into whether to investigate China's trade policies on intellectual property. Seeing storied Detroit brands like Jeep, Chrysler, Ram and Dodge handed off to a Chinese company would provoke howls among Trump's economic-nationalist supporters. It might not play well in Italy, either, to see Alfa Romeo and Maserati answering to Wuhan instead of Turin — though Automotive News said they might be spun off separately. Yet, as Morgan Stanley observes, "cars don't ship across oceans easily," and political considerations increasingly demand local manufacture of valuable products.
2014 Dodge Durango
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Say what you want about the Dodge Durango, but ever since it came on the scene in 1998, it has occupied its own niche in the SUV market - not too small, not too big, tough, able, not always the best on the road and not always the best off-road. If it were a football player, it would be a tight-end that can block and catch. If it were a hamburger - a double burger with cheese and bacon, but not the Whopper.
As part of a mid-cycle upgrade for what was already a very capable SUV that Chrysler introduced in 2011, and built on the same platform as the Mercedes GL-Class and Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 2014 Durango has gotten some refinements worth noting that have cleaned up its tailoring and toned up its body and powerplant. The result is an SUV that shows itself to be a very good value in a category full of sticker prices that can run away faster than a kid who's been told he has to take ballroom dancing lessons.
Chrysler executives showing us the new Durango made a special point to reiterate that the Dodge brand is not going away, as has been rumored after the company took the Ram and Viper - the cream of the brand - out from under the Dodge umbrella. Turns out Dodge has been the brand attracting the most young people (who knew?) and has a younger average age buyer than Honda. The Dodge brand historically has also attracted buyers who aren't exactly Phi-Beta Cappa, which some companies worry about. Chrysler not so much. Dodge buyers tend to be more the working, high-school-educated, community-college-educated backbone of the work force in America. If they keep coming to Dodge, the Durango is a pretty good piece of hardware to save up for.
